White Labeling in m-Power DX

Click here to access the legacy version of this documentation.

Overview

The m-Power Data Explorer supports the use of white labeling. This may be particularly important to you if you wish to rebrand the look of the Data Explorer for your end-users.

At present, five aspects of the Data Explorer are customizable for white labeling, they are:

1. Splash Image
2. Header Logo
3. Header Text
4. Header background color
5. Main Menu URL

To customize these options (all of which are completely optional), please edit your /mrcjava/WEB-INF/classes/mrc-runtime.properties file.
Add the five following lines to the file:

DX_splash_image=
DX_header_logo=
DX_header_text=
DX_header_color=
menu_url=

Notes

• Enter the necessary image file names for DX_splash_image and DX_header_logo. While any image works, mrc recommends .png images with transparent backgrounds. Both these properties assume the images will be stored in the /mrcjava folder, however you can customize the path to a specific folder within /mrcjava if desired:
       DX_splash_image=/mrcjava/image/MYFILENAMEHERE.png
     DX_header_logo=/mrcjava/image/MYFILENAMEHERE2.png
• -Enter an appropriate hex color code for the DX_header_color property, without the leading ‘#’.
       DX_header_color=E42F37
• If you have one main menu that you’d like all users to be taken to when the ‘Menu’ button in the header bar is selected, then utilize the menu_url property. Set this equal to a valid menu location, such as menu_url=DATADICTIONARY.mrcMenu
• Any changes to the mrc-runtime.properties file require a Tomcat restart so your changes can take effect.
• You are not required to customize all 4 options. If any option will not be customized, remove the property from the mrc-runtime.properties or keep and uncomment (using a ‘#’ at the start of the line). Any option not explicitly customized will revert back to the default as shown in Figure 1.
