You can customize the links that display in the banner area for the public user and for Group Views. You can also change the height of the banner, remove the banner, and display a welcome message in the banner.
From the Logo & Links window in the View Builder, you can customize the display of all links that are available to the public user and in Group Views. By default, the available links for Group Views are Sign In/Out, Close, Accessibility, Tree, Tools, Recent, Favorites, Views, View Builder, Utilities, and Help.
When a user logs accesses their personal view of Dashboard (My View), all available links appear.
Note:
The following image shows the Logo & Links window containing the image file name text box for displaying company logo with option buttons indicating a left, center, or right position, an Available Links list box for adding links, and a Selected Links list box to order the links.
The Logo & Links window opens.
The order of the links in the Selected Links list is the order in which they will appear in the view. You can position the links in the list by using the up and down arrows located between the Available Links and Selected Links lists.
The Logo & Links window opens.
The link is removed from the Selected Links list.
The Logo & Links window opens.
All links in the Selected Links list clear, including the default Login link.
The number of the folder depends on the template you have chosen. To determine the number, point your mouse over the template in the Look window. Note that the numbers are in order (worp, worp0, worp1, worp2, and so on through worp-) from left to right starting with the top-left template.
The number represents the number of pixels for the banner height. The default value is 105.
Note: The banner height must be a minimum of 50 pixels to sufficiently display the banner links. Some banner links, such as Help, have a drop-down menu associated with them. If the banner height is too small, the drop-down menu will not display and the functionality will not be available to the user.

A welcome message can be displayed in the top-left corner of the banner, where the name of the user logged on to the view appears as Welcome, User Name, as shown in the following image.
The welcome message can be set to display globally in all views by editing a variable setting in the bid-config.xml file or set to display in specific views using the Dashboard View Builder. Note that the text in the welcome message inherits the same color used for the banner links.
<internal-var name="showBannerUserGreeting" value="false"/>
to
<internal-var name="showBannerUserGreeting" value="true"/>
Note: After making changes to the bid-config.xml file, use the Console to clear the memory cache or restart the application. Until this is done, the change is not effective.
