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.

About Using Organizational Units and Vanity URLs for Managed Service Providers
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can provide custom user interface to their customers by customizing interfaces based on Organizational Units and Roles. Thereby all customers need not have the same application look and interface instead they can all look different with custom logos and theme.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can also create vanity URLs to allow MSP customers to have custom URLs for their tenants.
Before you begin, you must set the alternate login URL for the MSP tenant to customize. You do this in the 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 an Organizational Unit
To add a vanity URL for a tenant, do the following:
1.Log in to Service Manager.
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 Primary MSP Tenant and MSP Tenant check boxes are selected.
5.Enter information into the Vanity URL field.

Adding a Background Image to the Login Page
When you fill a background using an imported image, 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 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 |
