About Using Colors in the Style Editor
The Style Editor identifies colors by their hexadecimal values and adds two more characters at the right to identify opacity. For example, gray has a hex value of #808080. In the Style Editor, gray is shown as #808080FF. Opacity is applied to a color that is placed above another color in the user interface.
•FF means 100 percent opacity: You see only the upper color.
•80 means 50 percent opacity: You see an even blend of the upper and lower colors.
•00 means zero opacity: You see only the lower color.

Working with Vanity URLs for Managed Service Providers
•About Using Vanity URLs for Managed Service Providers
•Adding a Vanity URL for a Tenant
About Using Vanity URLs for Managed Service Providers
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can create vanity URLs to make it easier to customize the user interface for a specific tenant. They can then select and customize the user interface for a specific tenant, instead of having all tenants look the same. After creating the vanity URL, the system displays both a Tenant field and a Role field in the Style Editor. This means that you can customize both styles for a tenant and styles for different roles for the selected tenant.
Before you begin, you must set the alternate login URL for the MSP tenant to customize. You do this in the Ivanti Service Manager Configuration Database. See the Configuration Database Guide for Ivanti Service Manager for information about using the ConfigDB, including information setting the alternate login URL.
Adding a Vanity URL for a Tenant
To add a vanity URL for a tenant, do the following:
1.Log in to the Service Manager Application.
2.Open the Org Unit workspace.
3.Select and open a tenant that does not have a parent org unit assigned to it.
4.On the Details tab, ensure that Is Primary MSP Tenant is checked.
5.Enter information into the Vanity URL field. The information that you enter here is visible from the Tenant drop-down in the Style Editor, so that you can customize the application, login, and Self Service pages.
6.Click Save.
Customizing a Tenant
To customize a specific tenant, do the following:
1.Access the Style Editor. See Accessing the Style Editor.
2.From the Tenant drop-down menu, choose the tenant to customize the application, login, and Self Service pages for.

Adding a Background Image to the Login Page
When you fill a background using an imported image, Ivanti Service Manager anchors the image at the upper left corner and either repeats the image to fill the background or crops the image to fit the background.
When using a small image, such as a logo, you expect the background to be repeated, so the login page should look OK regardless of its background size.
When using a large image, such as a landscape, you want the image to fill the background of the login page without repeats or excessive cropping.
In the table below, we show the background image size of the Ivanti Service Manager login pages in a maximized browser window on two common monitor resolutions, without any cropping or repeating of the image.
Layout | 1680 x 1050 Monitor | 1920 x 1080 Monitor |
