Hiding banner elements in Process Portal

You can hide some or all of the Process Portal banner content without having to modify the entire theme.

You must have already created your own copy of the banner content files for customizing.

An administrator might consider customizing the banner in the following ways:

• Hide or show the entire banner area.
• Customize the header area of the banner to hide or show elements at the top of page.

If the banner is hidden, the logout option is not available to the user. Hide the banner only when Process Portal is loaded inside a frame element as part of another page. This way the outside page can control the logout and redirect the frame content to the correct logout URL.

The theme.css file contains code that controls the display of different sections in the banner. The display of each element is controlled by a line of code that consists of .processPortal banner element.

For example: the following line hides the Work page:

.processPortal #processPortalWorkTab {display: none; }

This code is commented out by default so that all elements in all sections are shown in the banner.

Procedure

1. Open the theme.css file in your WebDav folder.

2. To hide particular elements, uncomment the corresponding line of code.

3. To hide all banner content, add display: none; to the following line of code:

   .processPortalBanner {
   display: none;}
