Manage the Branding Files Repository

Overview

The EchoSystem Server (ESS) allows institutions to brand (with logos, art, and messaging) the EchoPlayer that students use to review and interact with content.  Please take a moment to upload your branding assets to this repository.  Only assets within this repository can be used to customize the EchoPlayer. Once uploaded, you can choose which assets to use as branding elements by customizing the branding settings.

Upload a Branding File

1. Verify that the file you want to use is a supported size and format. Refer to the following table for supported sizes and formats. You cannot scale an image in the ESS. Use a graphics design program such as Adobe PhotoShop to design and scale the image.

2. Navigate to Schedule > Branding.

3. Click Add. The Add Branding File page appears as shown in the figure below.

4. Enter a name.

5. Select the parent organization or child organization from the list.

6. Click the radio button for the branding file type. Note the technical requirements for that type below the row of radio buttons.

7. Click the File field, then click the Upload File button.

8. Browse to the file location on your computer and click Open.

9. Notice that the file begins to upload. While it is uploading, the Upload File field shows you how much has uploaded.

10. If the file uploads successfully, you see a new field, Verify Media File, and a series of checks.

Edit a Branding File

Overview

You can navigate to the branding files list, hover the cursor over a particular file, and click the edit button, as shown in the screenshot below:

Open

However, the "edit" button does not allow you to make changes to the appearance of the branding file. You can use the edit button to:

• Edit the name of the file. You might do this when the file has a somewhat generic name ("logo") and you are about to add another logo file. You might want to rename "logo" to "logo for arts and sciences" then add another file called "logo for med school".

• Replace the current file with a different file. You might do this when the logo has changed and another group has supplied you with the new logo file.

To change the branding file itself, open the file in an appropriate media editor (this will differ depending on the file type), make changes, and re-upload the changed file.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Schedule > Branding.

2. Hover over the file to be edited.

3. Click edit.

4. In the Verify Certificate dialog box, click Trust.

5. In the applet is requesting dialog box, click Allow.

6. On the Edit Branding File page, do one or both of the following:

   1. Edit the name field.

   2. Click the Upload a file... button, then follow the same procedure described in Upload a Branding File.

7. Click Save.

8. If you edited the file name, you will see the new name on the Branding File Details page. If you uploaded a new file, you may notice that the file size is different.
