How to Brand the Portal with Our Company's Logo

To set up Portal Branding, you have to be the Master Admin User or a Designated Admin.  If you have these designations, you can access the Portal Branding via the Wolters Kluwer Logo>Administrative Tasks>Portal / Workflow> Portal Branding:

Portal Page Icon and Title: Enter the location of the page icon (aka the favicon) you would like to use with the portal. If one is not provided, ftwilliam.com's default icon will be used. We recommend using an icon file (which ends in .ico) for the favicon for full compatibility with Internet Explorer.

Favicon: This  is the small image that that is associated with the web page. If you currently have a favicon, you should be able to type http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico and the image would display. If not, you should speak with your web designer to help you set one up.

Custom page title: If no title is provided, the default text,"ftwilliam.com Portal" will be used. This is the text that will appear as the title of the web page once your client goes to the portal. See “www.portaltest.com” as shown below:
