This article will help you with setting up your brand, noting some basic configurations and how to associate your brand to a different Homepage or Dashboard. When working with a new or existing brand, the tabs highlighted in orange are those that deal with the basics of configuring a brand.
Please Note: Any changes made to the areas discussed below will not go into effect until you Save them. Be sure to Save after making any desired changes to your brand.
Basic Information
The Basic Information tab is home to the following fields:
- Domains: The domain selector allows administrators to decide what domains this brand is connected to.
- Language: This dropdown allows administrators to set the default language for the brand.
- Brand Title: This field allows administrators to give the brand a title that will help distinguish it from other brands and allows for quick selection when editing the brand.
- Site Name: This field determines what is shown in the copyright text at the bottom of each published page in a Tovuti instance.
- Site Description: This area allows administrators to give a brief description of the brand to make it easier to identify. This field is only visible to administrators and can be left blank if the administrator chooses.
- Published: The published toggle is very important. By switching the toggle to Yes, the administrator can make a brand live and viewable by end users. Keeping the toggle on No allows administrators to work on the brand settings without it being visible to end users.
Site Details
The Site Details tab consists of fields mostly focused on the look and feel of the brand:
- Plans for Active Membership: This field lets administrators select which subscription plans are associated with the brand. By default, Registration will be shown here. If you have created other subscription plans, they will be listed as well. Administrators can select all plans by clicking on the top plan, holding the Shift key, and then clicking on the bottom plan. Individual plans can be selected from the list by holding the CTRL key and then clicking on each desired plan.
- Base font for brand: This dropdown lets administrators select the default font for the brand. Click on the dropdown and select a font.
- Language Selector: By default, the Language selector will be toggled off and can stay this way if your brand is available in only one language. If more than one language is associated with a brand, click the toggle to On and a language dropdown menu will appear at the top of the page for end users that allows them to select their language preference.
- Three Color Design: This toggle activates a global Three Color Design mode for the brand. Using Three Color Design is highly encouraged and is the quickest way to select a color scheme that matches your brand aesthetic. When Three Color Design is toggled on, it allows the administrator to choose a primary, accent, and base color for the brand. After the colors are chosen and changes have been saved, the brand will change color to represent the colors selected here.
If an administrator chooses to toggle Three Color Design off, they will need to specify a color for various items such as menus, module headers, and text throughout the system. - Primary Color (only visible when Three Color Design is toggled on): This field lets administrators select the main color for their brand. This can be done by inputting a hex code or selecting a color from the swatch.
- Accent Color (only visible when Three Color Design is toggled on): This field lets administrators select the accent color for their brand. This color is used for some fonts visible to the end user. Selection can be made by inputting a hex code or selecting a color from the swatch.
- Base Color (only visible when Three Color Design is toggled on): This field sets the base color for the brand and by default it is set to white. It is strongly encouraged that white remains the base color any time Three Color Design is in use.
Site Logos:
This tab consists of selecting the Favicon for the brand and then the Video Cover Image for the brand.

Follow the same process for selecting the Video Cover Image should the administrator desire to have an image that will display globally for every video uploaded to Tovuti.
Social Media:
The Social Media tab allows the administrator to add the URLs for each of the social media platforms utilized by the organization. Administrators can also add text to the header of the Social Media Homepage should they choose to do so.
Homepage:
The Homepage tab allows administrators to select whether a Landing Page or Login Page will be shown when an end user goes to the domain used by the brand.
If Landing Page is selected, a toggle will appear to select whether the page is multilingual. By default this is set to No.
The administrator will then select the Landing Page that will be used by the brand from the Landing Page dropdown menu. A new landing page will need to be created prior to selecting it from the dropdown menu. For a tutorial on how to create a landing page, please go here.
If the administrator chooses to toggle to a Login Page, then they will choose which login page to use for the brand from the Login Page dropdown.
Dashboard:
This tab allows administrators to choose the Dashboard that will be used for the brand. The dashboard is the page that users will see after they log into the platform. Simply select the desired dashboard from the dropdown menu. If a learner portal (dashboard) needs to be created, click here for a tutorial on how to do so.
