AdaptiveWork Profiles Overview

This page describes AdaptiveWork Profiles and includes the following sections:

About AdaptiveWork Profiles

AdaptiveWork Profiles allow you to manage and control the way the system is displayed for each user based on their association with a profile.

By creating multiple profiles, the administrator is further able to manage and control the way the system is displayed for each user based on their profile association to best tailor the system to your organizational needs.

The different display options allow you to control user access to various options, modules, field sets, and actions for better safety. It further permits you to create a better and more simplified work environment by allowing you to remove seldom-used actions and options as well as filter the available views to only those needed by a user for their work.

Each user can be associated with several profiles allowing the user to choose the view shown based on their current work assignment.

Note:

Profile Settings are only available to your AdaptiveWork Admin user.

Defining your Organizational Profile Needs

To best utilize AdaptiveWork Profiles in your organization, we highly recommend that you first take the time to map out the way by which you wish to divide the various profiles and display options. This can be done based on the following examples or in any other way that fits your needs as you see fit.

  • User types - Create profiles based on user type – e.g. Admin, Team Member, Financial users, External Collaborators, etc.
  • User Role - Create profiles based on user role – e.g. program manager, project manager, resource, help desk, etc.
  • Department - Create a profile for each of your organization’s departments with privileges and views based on the department a user is in
  • Market Segment - Create profiles based on market segments based on region, project type and size, goals set, etc.

Custom CSS

AdaptiveWork offers organizations the ability to customize the applications CSS (style sheet) to suit their organizations need.

Custom CSS allows you to have custom colors, fonts, icons and even backgrounds and can be applied across the entire organization using Base or for specific Profiles .

Below are detailed instructions on how to access the Custom CSS field and some examples of how you can update your organizations fonts, colors, and background.

Adding the Custom CSS Field to the Layout

To begin to customize the CSS of your AdaptiveWork account, you must first add the "Custom CSS" field into the Organizations profile card.

To add the Custom CSS field:
  1. Access the Profiles tab
  2. The Profiles setting window opens
  3. Select either the Base or a specific Profile to edit
  4. From the Module tree hierarchy (left-hand pane) select Organization
  5. In the module setting pane (right pane) open the Field Layout section
  6. Click
  7. Drag & Drop the Custom CSS field into the layout
  8. Click
  9. Click the Global Setting Tab
  10. Begin creating your CSS

Profile specific CSS

To configure and brand the user interface for a profile:

  1. As a System administrator, navigate to Settings > Profiles > Properties.
  2. Turn the toggle next to each property as desired.
  3. To apply custom branding, add the desired styles in the Custom CSS text area.
  4. Click Save.

Custom CSS Examples

Changing the background image

You can change the background image that will be used in the application by adding the following:

#siteWrapper
{
background: #000 url("http://www.hdwallpapers.in/walls/abs..._8016-wide.jpg") no-repeat right top;
-webkit-transition: none;
-moz-transition: none;
transition: none;
box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)inset;
}

Within the parenthesis after url you can enter an image hyperlink

To apply this setting on a specific profile (for example marketing) the code should be:

html.marketing#siteWrapper
{
background: #000 url("http://www.hdwallpapers.in/walls/abs..._8016-wide.jpg") no-repeat right top;
-webkit-transition: none;
-moz-transition: none;
transition: none;
box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)inset;
}

Changing the header font colors

You can change the header font colors by adding the following:

#orgName strong {color:#800000;}
#HeaderWrapper,
#headerWrapperWizard,
#TitleView {padding-left:0;}
#header {margin-left: 50px;}
#logo {margin-left: 0;}
.header-view-fl {padding-left:45px;}
.header-view-fl h2 {color:#FF00FF;}
.hd-btn {color:#FFA500 !important;}

Where:

#orgName strong {color:#800000;} - will change the org name color - in this case to maroon

.header-view-fl h2 {color:#FF00FF;} - will change the title of the subsystem (e.g. settings) - in this case to magenta

.hd-btn {color:#FFA500 !important;} - will change the masthead button colors - in this case to orange

You can also change the font and font size for each item, simply by adding "font-family" and "font-size" after the color, as indicated below:

.header-view-fl h2 {color:#FF00FF; font-family:Lucida Console; font-size:25px;}

The above changes will make the header look like this:

Changing colors and fonts across the application

You can change the colors and font across by doing the following:

.field-name {
color: #CA1650 !important;
font-family: cursive;
font-size:15px !important }
.prop-obj-name h3 {
font-size: 18px;
color: #F10000;
padding-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
font-family: cursive;
}
.prop-container .object-path a:link, .prop-container .object-path a:visited {
color: #999;
font-family: cursive;
}
.tab-holder li a {
font-family: cursive;
}
.tab-holder li.active a, .tab-holder li.active a:hover {
background: #CA1650;
color: #fff;
}
.det-obj-name .o-val {
font-size: 28px;
font-family: cursive;
}
a:link, a:visited {
font-family: cursive;
}
.field-value {
color: #333;
font-family: cursive;
}
body {
color: #333;
font-family: cursive;
}
.r-name {
font-family: cursive;
}
.item-counter {
font-family: cursive;
}
.relation-title {
font-family: cursive;
}
.feed-title {
font-family: cursive; }
.btn-default, .btn-default:link {
background: #CA1650; }
.g-ribbon-actions>li>a {
color: #CA1650;}

In the above, each element has to be specified and can have a different font/color as needed.

In this example, fonts were changed to "cursive" across the app, and the colors of certain elements, for example, the field names in property cards (.field-name) was changed to a maroon like color:

.field-name {
color: #CA1650 !important;
font-family: cursive;
font-size:15px !important }

Button colors for Ok, Save, etc., are also changed in the above example by entering:

.btn-default, .btn-default:link {
background: #CA1650; }

Adding the above, will change the application's fonts and colors to look like the image below:

Changing the navigation panel

You can change the navigation panel so that it will be a button on the masthead rather than a side bar by adding the following:

/* NAVIGATION */
.global-nav
{
left: -240px;
-webkit-transition: left .3s;
-moz-transition: left .3s;
transition: left .3s;
}
.nav-caption
{
width: 36px;
height: 36px;
bottom: auto;
box-shadow: none;
top: 5px; left:5px;
border-radius: 3px;
background: #fff;
transition-delay: 0s;
-webkit-transition: none;
transition: none;
}
.nav-caption:hover {background:#d2ebfc;}
.nav-caption-arr,
.nav-caption-arr:before,
.nav-caption-arr:after
{
background:#666;
width:20px; height:4px;
position:absolute;
display:block;
line-height:0;
content: ' ';
border-radius:5px;
}
.nav-caption-arr {top: 16px; left: 8px;}
.nav-caption-arr:before {top:-8px; left: 0;}
.nav-caption-arr:after {top:8px; left: 0;}
.nav-caption .flip-v {display:none;}

/* OPEN NAVIGATION */
.nav-op .global-nav
{
left: 0;
box-shadow: 3px 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}
.nav-op #siteWrapper
{
left: 0;
filter: gray;
-webkit-filter: grayscale(0%);
z-index: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.nav-op #TitleView,
.nav-op .container
{
padding-left: 0;
}
.nav-op #contentWrapper,
.nav-op #glAdminContent
{
left: 0;
}
.nav-op #logo,
.nav-op .obj-details
{
margin-left: 0;
}

.pop-content {color:#333;}

#contentWrapper
{
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
box-shadow: none;
border-top: 1px solid #333;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
}

This code is a bit more complex and should be taken as is. Please note that you can change the colors of the button background and the like as needed. Once updated, the navigation panel access will look like this:

Changing the Navigation Panel to a button will also require you to make changes to the header in order to move the logo on the top left to the right. Specifically you can add this piece of css, or update the existing header css (if already changed) as follows:

.header-view-fl {padding-left:15px;}
