Changing Banners in Axis LMS

Inside Axis LMS, there are several levels of banners you can set. When designing and selecting what banners to upload, keep in mind that the optimum banner size for page banners is identified on the screen when you upload them. A banner does not have to be any specific dimension however - any size will work. Most banners work best when treated more like a logo than a full width banner since the screen size and device size may be different depending on the user. 

The four page banners are listed below; if you are unsure about what banner your users will see, check the roman numeral beside the name - the highest value will always be the one displayed.

 

 

Default Banner / No Uploaded Banner (I)

When all else fails, Axis LMS falls back to this image. Until a new banner is uploaded, all users will see this image.

 

 

Learning Portal Banner (II)

When a user first logs into Axis LMS, this is the banner they'll be greeted with. If no banner has been uploaded, it will use the default banner. You can replace this banner by going to...

 

System > Site Design > Learning Portal Website > Edit Learning Portal Settings [gear icon]

 

Once here, clicking on the page banner's "Choose" button will prompt you to select an image file. Once the file is upload, all you need to do is "Submit Changes" at the bottom of the page.

 

 

Uploading a banner via the Quick Branding page will overwrite both the Learning Portal Website Banner, and the Public Website Banner

 

 

Usergroup Learning Portal Banners (III)

You may choose to make your learning portal more personalized and tailored to a specific group. In this case, usergroup learning portal banners will usurp an uploaded Learning Portal Banner (II), if that user is in a usergroup with a banner. Assuming you have already created the usergroups, you can upload usergroup specific banners by going to...

 

System > Site Design > Learning Portal Website > Edit Learning Portal Settings > Show Advanced Page Banner Settings

 

Once you click on the "Show Advanced...." button, all your usergroups will be listed. You can click on the pencil icon next to each group to upload a banner specific to that group.

 

If a user is in more than one usergroup with their own banner, the banner of the first alphabetically listed group they're a member of is the one that will be used.

 

 

 

Course/ILT/Certification/Learning Path Banners (IV)

The final banner types are the Course, ILT, Certification and Learning Path banners. Courses use the default banners as described above - but setting a banner for a course will override those. This banner can be replaced by going to...
