Styling the Neurons for ITSM Console

You can configure and customize the Neurons for ITSM console using the Application tab in the Style Editor. The settings that you configure on the Application tab affect all roles in Neurons for ITSM except Self Service Mobile. See Configuring the Self Service Mobile User Interface.

Configuring the Styles for a Role

The interface for a specific user role can be configured. Changes made to the default role affect all roles, except for any roles that were configured individually. For more information on roles, see Working with Roles.

To configure the style for a role:

1. In the Configuration console, click Build > User Interface Styles > Style Editor. The application displays the Style Editor.
2. From the Role drop-down menu, choose a role.

The Remove Customization icon disappears from the page on selecting a role. However, after saving the customizations, the icon reappears.

3. Configure the color specifications for the selected role.
4. Click Save. The drop-down menu lists this role as customized.

The Save button is only enabled when a value is entered for any of the parameters.

To restore a role to its default style, do the following:

1. In the Configuration console, click Build > User Interface Styles > Style Editor. The application displays the Style Editor.

The Application tab is selected by default.

2. From the Role drop-down menu, select a customized role.

A customized role is identifiable from the rest of the roles in the list. For example, Administrator (customized).

3. Click the Remove Customization icon next to the Role drop-down list. The colors for this role are restored back to its default settings. So in our example, the role is now listed as Administrator. See also Changing the Logo for a Role.
