To change the background color of the banner, enter a new hexadecimal value in the  Banner Background Color Universal Controller system property.

...

Step 1

Copy the logo file that you want to use in the banner to the uc_images directory directly under your Tomcat home/installation directory: ../tomcat/uc_images. Valid logo file extensions are .png, .jpg, and .gif. The logo should be a maximum 298px x 48px. Any logo larger than these dimensions will be scaled automatically; however, it is recommended that keep the logo within these dimensions.

  • If the uc_images directory does not exist, create it.
  • If you have a High Availability system, you must copy the logo to the uc_images directory for each Universal Controller cluster node in the system.

Step 2

Login to the Universal Controller (or any Controller cluster node in a High Availability system) and update the Banner Logo Universal Controller system property to the name of the logo file (excluding path) that you copied to the uc_images directory. The logo will be deployed automatically to the Controller. In a High Availability system, where an updated property on one cluster node applies to all cluster nodes (since they share the same database), the logo file will be deployed automatically on initial application request.

Step 3

If you want the logo to link to a web resource, enter the URL for the web resource in the Banner Logo URL Universal Controller system property.

If you update the currently configured banner logo file in the uc_images folder, as long as the banner logo file size has changed, it will be redeployed automatically. If you do not see the updated banner logo from the user interface, try running the Clear Server Cache server operation and/or clearing your browser cache.

The Console opens automatically to display error ( x ) messages, and you can set the Console to open automatically to display information ( i ) messages (via one of four user preferences that allow you to control the Console display).

...

When you log in to the Controller, the Home dashboard displays under a Dashboards tab. The Home dashboard - as well as the Activity Monitor and Dashboard Details - remain open throughout your session unless you manually close them by clicking the x icon in the tab itself. The tabs for those pages otherwise remain at the top of the screen so that you can quickly return to them at any time.

...

If you select a page in the Services while viewing Dashboards, Activity Monitor, or Server Operations, a new tab will open for that page. The Dashboards, Activity Monitor, and Server Operations tabs are pinned automatically to the top of the page and will remain open if you navigate from them.

If you select a page in the Services while viewing any other page, the Tabs Pinned Automatically user preference specifies whether or not that page is pinned.

...

You can pin tabs to the top of the page so that the pinned page displays even if you select other pages to display.  You also can unpin any pinned tabs at any time (see the Tabs action menu).

The following tabs are pinned automatically and will not close unless you manually close them either by clicking the x icon on the tab or close them via the Tabs action menu.

  • Dashboards
  • Activity
  • Server Operation

...

You also can display record Details as tabs at the top of a page

Step 2

In the Action menu, click Open in Tab. The record Details display under a tab at the top of the page.
 
If you click Open in Tab for an open record, the record is closed and displays only under the tab.

Step 3

If you want to open the same record or another record under another tab, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
 
You can open any number and combination of tabs from one or more lists in the user interface.
