Changing favicon

You can change the webpage's favicon (small icon displayed in the browser's tabs) by substituting the favicon.ico file with your own ico format file.

Changing logo

You can change the logo shown in the exported documentation. To do this, open the images folder and substitute the logo.png file with your logo in png format. The image should have at least 30px of height and transparent background.

To change the displayed logo size, edit the logoHeight value in the config.json.js file.

You may also need to edit padding. To do that add and edit as required the code below to user.css:

/* Logo padding configuration. */
.v-layout .v-side-nav .v-header { padding: 40px 10px; }

Changing font styles

You can edit the font style by changing contents of user.css file, using normal css syntax.

.v-layout {
    font-family: -apple-system, Segoe UI, Open Sans, Arial, sans-serif;
    line-height: initial;
    font-size: 14px;
}

This section alters settings for specific fields:

.v-content .doc-summary, /* table with object basic information */
.v-content .doc-actions, /* permlinks on the right side */
.v-content .doc-metadata, /* timestamps at the object bottom */
.v-content .table table th, /* table headers */
.v-content .table table td, /* table cells */
.v-content .doc-breadcrumb .v-item /* breadcrumb */ {
    font-size: 13px;
}

/* Headers font configuration. */
h1, h2, h3,
h4, h5, h6 {
    font-family: -apple-system, Segoe UI, Open Sans, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-weight: 700;
}

h1 { font-size: 22px; }
h2, .v-content .v-header { font-size: 15px; }

You can color of hyperlinks and their color on mouse hover by changing contents of user.css file. Open the file in any text editor, then find the section below:

/* Color of hyperlinks and their color on mouse hover. */

a:hover { color: #04589f; }

Hiding the Generated with Dataedo footer

You can remove the Generated with Dataedo text located in the bottom left-hand corner. To do this, simply open the user.css file in any text editor and paste the code below at the end of the file.

/*To remove the Generated with Dataedo footer. */
.v-footer {display: none;
visibility: hidden;}

You can add javascript code the the exported file (e.g. to add Google Analytics tracking). The code is run at the end of loading process. To do this, edit the user.js file.

Sharing custom templates
