SYSTEM SETTINGS
The system settings are only accessible by system administrators and is where the organisations banner, login background and theme colours for the whole Lucidity suite can be set.
Changes to End-Users
Changes to system settings will affect all end-users. Once set, the banner, login splash back, PDF banner and theme are rarely changed once set. For the changes to be viewed, end-users may need to log out and sign back in again.
For more instructions on types and settings for images to be uploaded, refer to Uploading Files in Lucidity Modulesguide.
To access the system settings:
- Click the Tools
icon in the top right-hand corner - Click 'System Settings'
The system settings is split into two tabs - Images and Theme.
Images
The Images tab allows system administrators to upload a system banner, PDF banner and the login splash back for the system.
The banner is the image that sits at the top of every module and page within Lucidity Software and appears in the module switcher and will be seen by all end users. It is generally the organisation's logo.
Note that the text that accompanies the logo in each instance is generated by Lucidity, and is not part of the image. The font and size of the text is fixed.
The PDF banner sits at the top of printed PDFs from InForm, print receipts from Induction and various other locations.
Banner Requirements
The following describes the requirements for the system and PDF banner:
| Image format | .png with transparent background |
| Minimum image height (pixels) | 300 px (minimum) |
| Aspect ratio | Not to exceed 5:1 (1500 pixels max width for 300 pixel height) |
Transparent images will always look best. This is one of many free tools that can be used to make images transparent.
The login splash back is the background image displayed to end-users on the log in page, regardless of selected module. The image will scale to fit the current screen size.
Splash Back Requirements
The following specification should be used as a minimum when selecting a background image to avoid excessive pixelation.
| Image format | .jpg or .png |
| Image height (pixels) | 1200 px (minimum) |
| Image width (pixels) | 1800 px (minimum) |
To change the system or PDF banner or the login splash back, from the system settings page:
- Ensure the image to be uploaded is stored on a computer or network drive and is easily accessible
- Click 'Upload Image' under either the banner or login background
- Locate the image from the computer/ network drive and click 'Open'
