Templates – Header Customization

From the Template Panel, you can edit many aspects of a template including the Template Header.

The Template Header defines what happens in the top section of your Template and Experience.

Header Customization

There are three tabs at the top of the top of the Header Customization section: General, Text and Image.

Header Customization – General Tab

Under the General tab, you can adjust overall configuration and format details for the header of your Experience.

Header Height

Under Header Height, you determine the size of your header relative to the screen of the device that will display it. There are three options:

Auto – will determine the size of the header based on the contents that you add to the header. If you add a lot of text of a large logo, then the header will be adjusted to hold all of the contents.

Pro Tip – Adding too much information to the Header will lead important content only being reached by scrolling on a mobile phone which can limit the effectiveness of your experience.

20% – This will allocate 20% of the screen size for the header and only use that much data for the content.

40% – This will allocate 40% of the screen size for the header and only use that much data for the content.

Content Position

This setting determines the position of the content within the Header itself. You can choose Top, Middle and Bottom. Based on this setting any images or text will be positioned in that part of the header.

Upload Header Background Image

With this function you can upload a background image FOR THE HEADER ONLY. By clicking on the link, you can upload an image that will de displayed behind the header.

This function allows you to format the header background to provide an appropriate background for a logo or text while leaving the rest of the template background more plain for other content or information.

Our recommendation is to upload an image in .png or .svg format (no less than 250 pixels).

The system adapts any image size to the scale of the template. The higher resolution of the picture, the better result of future experience.

Choose Header Background Color

Choose a color for the Header background using the Color Picker.

Header Customization – Text Tab

In the Text Tab you can specify text that should be included in the Header.

Header Text

You can type any text in this field to be shown in the Header of the Template. Too much text will lead to scrolling in the header of the Experience which can limit the effectiveness of the content.

Font Family

The Font Family that will be used for the Header Text.

Font Weight

You have four choices of Font Weight that will change the look of your font: thin, regular, medium and bold. You will select the type you want from the dropdown.

Font Size

You can choose a number from the left dropdown and then a measurement from the right drop down. Measurements include: PX-pixels, PT-point and others. Changing these values will change the size of the fonts in the Header.

Letter Spacing

This changes the amount of spacing between the letters in the text. The larger the number the more blank space between each letter.

Text Location

The location of the text within the Header Window. Choices are Above or Below any image in the Header.

Text Alignment

You can choose Left Aligned, Centered, or Right Aligned for the test in the Header.

Text Color

Select the Color for any Text in the Header using the Color Picker.

Header Customization – Image Tab

In the Image tab, you are loading and defining how an image will be displayed IN THE HEADER ONLY.

Upload an Image

Click “Upload an image” to load an image from your local machine.

Our recommendation is to upload an image in .png or .svg format (no less than 250 pixels).

The system adapts any image size to the scale of the template. The higher resolution of the picture, the better result of future experience.

Image Alignment

You can decide if the image will be placed in the header in one of three alignments: Left, Center or Right.

Pro Tip – There are a variety of ways to achieve the look that you want in the header of your template. Depending on the characteristics of your images, text and overall goals, the software is flexible enough to support most options. You may not need some of the configuration options for a particular implementation so do not think that you have to use every setting.
