Customize AppNavi to your corporate design

AppNavi follows WCAG guidelines in its dar mode. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are part of a series of web accessibility guidelines published by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). The purpose of the WCAG standard is to define how to make Web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

The acceptance of software is mostly determined by its functionality and usability. A key aspect of this is that solutions integrate into the overall application landscape. With the "Custom Theming" options, it is possible to easily adapt AppNavi to the color scheme of the corporate design for each application.

Step 1: Open the application

Since custom theming is to be done at the application level, the relevant application must be opened in change mode.

  • Open the customer portal
  • Select the "Applications" section in the left navigation menu
  • Click on the button with the 3 dots in front of the application and select the "Edit Application" option

Step 2: Enable Custom Theming

In the next step, you need to enable custom theming for the selected application.

  • Select the "Application" tab from the tabs in the upper menu area, if it is not already selected.
  • Go to the " Custom Design" and activate it.

Step 3: Setting the color values

The colors can now be customized for 11 different areas. The colors can be entered via HEX codes or specified via a color picker.

  • First check which color you want to change
  • Then click on the color field to open the color picker and select a color there - or enter a HEX code (preceded by "#")
  • Now go to this application in another browser window, update this with Crtl+F5 and view your changes.
