How to configure Service Portal display theme settings

Service Management provides a default display theme for the Service Portal. You can create a custom display theme to suit your company's look and feel.

For a quick guide describing the basic settings for the portal, see Quick guide to customizing the Service Portal.

Theme Settings page user interface

From the main menu, select Administration > Configuration > Service Portal Settings > Theme Settings.

Interface item	Description
Theme	The theme for the Service Portal that is displayed. By default, the out-of-the-box Standard (default) theme settings are displayed.
Theme selection	Click to display a drop-down list of themes. You may select a previously created theme, or create a theme.
	When you update a setting, you can click Preview to display the change. The setting is only previewed and not saved until you click Save. For more information, see Preview custom theme.
	When you have selected a theme other than the default, click More to display the following options: Rename - select to rename the theme. Delete - select to delete the theme. Enable - select to enable the theme. Only available for selection when the theme is disabled. Disable - select to disable the theme. Only available for selection when the theme is enabled. Set as default - select to set the theme as the default. Only available for selection when the theme is enabled.
Preview custom theme	You can select which part of the Service Portal user interface the theme settings are previewed on.
Settings tab	Area where you define the settings for the theme.
Audience tab	Area where you apply entitlement rules to select the audience for a theme.

For more information about how each field in the editor affects the Service Portal display, see the Service Portal display theme settings below.

Note The default, out-of-the-box display theme for the Service Portal is defined and saved in the system.

To revert to using the default display theme for the Service Portal, click List and select Standard.

To add a new theme

From the main menu, select Administration > Configuration > Service Portal Settings > Theme Settings.
Click and select + New theme.

The Create new theme dialog box is displayed.
Type a suitable name for the theme.
From the drop-down, select the theme to provide the initial settings that you want to customize.

For example, assume you previously created a custom theme named Alpha. You now want to create a similar theme, based on Alpha, but perhaps with changes to the text color, and background. First, you would give your new theme a name. Then, you would select Alpha from the drop-down list. If you wanted to create a theme based on the Standard theme, you would select Standard from the drop-down list.
Click Create.

The theme displays, but is disabled.
To enable the theme, click More, and select Enable.
Edit the settings as required. For more information, see Service Portal display theme settings.
Click Save.
To make the theme the default, click More, and select Set as default.

To set the audience for a custom theme

You can set the audience for a custom theme, so only that audience may see the theme, by using an entitlement rule.

You cannot use an entitlement rule with:

The out-of-the-box Standard theme
The currently selected default theme

Note If you want to use an entitlement rule with a custom theme that is the currently selected default theme, you must first select another theme as the default theme.

Ensure you have a suitable entitlement rule. For more information, see How to manage entitlement rules.
From the main menu, select Administration > Configuration > Service Portal Settings > Theme Settings.
If the custom theme you want is not already selected, click and select the theme.
Click the Audience tab in the left pane.
Click and select the entitlement rule from the drop-down.
Click Save.

Note You must enable a theme before it displays to users.
