Customising a workgroup

  • You have to be an Enterprise admin to customise User Interface (UI) elements such as the Action button at a workgroup level.

  • If you are a participant of workspaces owned by two or more workgroups, based on what you select from My Workspaces, respective theme and UI elements are displayed.

  • If a user logs in using the customised workgroup URL that you shared, they can see both customised login page as well as customised workgroup / workspace changes (after they select a workspace from the home page). Whereas, if they login directly to Objective Connect, they can only see customised workgroup / workspace changes but not the customised login page.

  • Customised workgroup URL that you share with your users is unique to each workgroup. This ensures that there is no overlap between customised settings of different workgroups.

As an Enterprise admin you can customise UI elements at a workgroup level:
