Cisco Cloud Portal modules may be customized to provide different appearances for different users. The appearace (CSS stylesheet) shown to the user depends on what stylesheet is associated to that user's Home OU. One style may be designated as the Default. If a default is specified, it is used for any user whose home organization (OU) has not be assigned a style. If no default is specified, the default Cloud Portal stylesheets is used. If a hierarchical organization structure (like in Cisco IA for Cloud) is used, you may specify that a style is inherited by all child OUs of a parent.
The high level steps to creating and applying custom stylesheets for individual organization units are:
- Create a new folder in RequestCenter.WAR/custom e.g. RequestCenter.WAR/custom/ABC-Company;
- Add the custom style sheets (copy and customize). Filenames must be custom.css and portal-custom-header.css.
- In CP, go to Administration>Settings>Custom Styles. Add a new stylesheet by clicking Add and then navigate to the folder you created.
- Assign OUs to this stylesheet. Note that a user may be a member of many OUs, but CSS stylesheets associated based on the user's Home OU. For example, if Sarah belongs to the Finance Team, the Marketing Team, but her Home OU is Operations, she will get the Operations stylesheet appearance.
