3205475 - How to apply a custom theme on Learning sites

Customer would like to use a specific BizX theme customized for the Learning site, without modifying the global theme of internal users or using the native Learning user design.

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

1. When Learning-only users are registering on a site, their Learning page is using the default styles (either default theme from Theme Manager or the native Learning user landing page style) >
2. Customer would like to apply a different theme from Theme Manager to these Learning-only users, without overwriting any of the default styles.

The “enableLatestBranding” flag in Learning Administration was removed from the configuration permanently by Product Management. Therefore, create SAP SuccessFactors Learning brands if you use sites for your extended enterprise and you want to customize the experience for Learning-only users.

You can use the feature called Branding to apply a specific Platform theme to the Learning sites of your Learning-only users, without overwriting the design for your internal users.

Steps required (please read them carefully before starting, to make some decisions in advance):

1. Create a theme in Theme Manager you would like to use on this Site and remember its name >
   
   
2. Go to LMS Admin > Brands:
   
   
   1. Add New >
      
      
   2. Once created, open it and in the field SuccessFactors Platform Theme select the desired Theme from the dropdown >
      
      
   3. You can also select custom Introduction Panel IDs if you have created them before in LMS and define custom HTML Header and Footer if needed:
      
      
      • If you need these customized and would prefer some assistance with the process, please engage a certified Partner or Professional Services as explained in KBA 2149831.
        
        
      • However, if you need only the Platform theme to be applied and do not want to override it with further customization, just leave these fields empty.
        
        
      • Introduction panel:
        
        Controls the text that appears to users in the news panel. Set in System Administration > Application Administration > User Introductions.
        
        
      • Header:
        
        This is the content that appears at the top of the Site's page. You can include dynamic content, called "System Components." To see a list of system components and what each adds, choose the Show System Components link. You can also include inline HTML tags like <br> for break or <i> for italic text.
        
        
        Note

        If you define a header style, it overrides the theme completely. Any component that isn't specified here will use the default theming from the UI component. It’s highly recommended that you work with someone who has HTML expertise.

      • Footer:
        
        This is the content that appears at the bottom of the Site's page. You can include dynamic content, called "System Components." To see a list of system components and what each adds, click the Show System Components link. You can also include inline HTML tags like <br> for break or <i> for italic text.
        
        
   4. Go to People > Organizations and select the one which will be used on the Site for the registering Learning-only users:
      
      
      1. On field Branding Style, add the newly created Brand to associate them.
         
         
   5. Go to your Site and add the Organization ID if not done already >
      
      
   6. Test the results:
      
      
      • Note the followings:
        
        
        1. The theme will apply only to those who are included in the Organization, so if you did not have Organization added to the Site when some users registered, they would not see the Brand >
           
           
        2. When a new user registers, the automatic login is not using the Branding yet, it will be applied only on the first real login with credentials.
