Configuring general settings for the website
As an administrator of your organization, you can enter a name, thumbnail image, and description to your site.
To configure the general settings for the site, follow the steps below.
- Log in to the portal website as an administrator and click the My Organization link on the top menu.
Your organization page opens.
- Click the Edit Settings button.
- Click the General link on the left side of the page.
- Configure any of the following general settings:
- For Logo and Name, enter the name you would like to use to represent your website in the Name field. Your name can be up to 55 characters long. To add a logo, click the Click to change thumbnail box and browse to the image file on your desktop. Acceptable image formats are PNG, GIF, and JPEG.
The name is displayed in the gallery title and the organization page. The logo is displayed on all the website pages except the map viewer and the user profile page. For best results, the logo should be 65 pixels wide by 65 pixels high. If your logo is a different dimension, it is resized to 65 by 65 on all pages except the home page and may appear warped. On the home page, your logo is not resized and appears within the banner image.
If you use HTML to configure the home page banner, the logo and portal name do not appear unless you include them in your HTML.
- For Description, enter a description for your organization. To paste or type your own HTML code, switch to the HTML source code view. For more information, see Supported HTML for configuring the website.
The description appears on the administration page. If you want the description to appear on the home page, check the box next to Show description toward bottom of Home Page. It appears under the banner.
- The Language option allows you to determine the default display language of the website user interface as well as the way time, date, and numerical values appear. By default, the organization language is set to English. To specify another language for the website, select the desired language from the drop-down list. Additionally, individual members can set their own preferred language in their user profile. This allows users to override the organization language after they log in to the website. Anonymous users (no login) will always see the portal website in the organization language; they are not allowed to specify their own language.
Note:Changing the locale of the organization will only update the user interface of the portal to display in the language you prefer. To view the portal help in a non-English language, you'll need to download and install the language pack from the Esri Customer Care Portal.
- For Logo and Name, enter the name you would like to use to represent your website in the Name field. Your name can be up to 55 characters long. To add a logo, click the Click to change thumbnail box and browse to the image file on your desktop. Acceptable image formats are PNG, GIF, and JPEG.
- Click Save to save the changes you've made.
