Logo & Colours

Practice Logo - upload an image of the practice logo to replace the IRIS logo on the login screen and in the footer bar. You can also replace the IRIS logo for clients who login via your chosen Sub-Domain (see General Details) the IRIS Logo is replaced there as well. We recommend an image that is 348 pixels high and 66 pixels wide to get the optimum presentation of the logo.

Browser Icon - upload a FAV icon to replace the IRIS icon. This is the icon the client’s browser will display when they bookmark/favourite the portal.

Show Header Bar Logo - this will place the practice logo at the top of the application instead of in the footer bar, when clicked this will display a small business card with practice contact details taken from the Settings tab.

Desktop Colours - change the colours of IRIS OpenSpace to match the practice branding, this section specifically deals with what users on desktop/laptop computers will see.  You can change the colour of additional items by creating a CSS file to upload into the advanced section. A sample CSS file can be downloaded from the IRIS OpenSpace Branding Guide page.

Mobile Colours - this section specifically deals with the colour scheme of IRIS OpenSpace when clients login on a mobile device.

Advanced - advanced is not supported by IRIS; it allows a website developer to fully customise all aspects of IRIS OpenSpace. This should not be carried out as part of the setup process.

Status - set to Live to turn on customisations; if set to Disabled then IRIS OpenSpace will use the standard IRIS branding and logo.

OpenSpace can also embed a website enquiry form into your website to capture enquiries from potential clients. These enquiries will then appear on their OpenSpace dashboard under ‘Website Enquiries’.

As with the login code option, simply copy and paste the HTML code provided into their website to enable the functionality. This should be provided to the web developer for correct formatting if the site is not maintained by IRIS.

Login Code

You can add a login box onto their website, using code provided within the customisation area within OpenSpace. This comes in HTML format and should be provided to their web developer to add. To find the code go to settings, customisation, login code.

If your website is provided by IRIS, this comes as part of their service.
