Incorporate Multiple Logos

Available from Version: -

Operating System: Windows

empower^® Add-in: Template Management


The logo feature of empower^® allows you to insert and even change a logo in a fixed location on the master. This way, you can, for example, work with a single master for the whole company, even though you have multiple subsidiaries using different logos in their presentations.
To enable the logo feature, the following requirements must be met:
Folder Logos – All desired logos have to be saved in a dedicated Logos folder placed in the section Corporate Design Templates – Pictures of the empower^® Library. If required, the folder can be added to a design folder. The folder has to be specifically mapped on the database. Logo graphics – Are saved to the folder Logos and named in accordance with a specific naming pattern. Logo placeholder – Is defined in the master template.

Note

If your empower^® Environment is hosted in the empower^® Cloud, the mapping on the database for the folder Logos will be performed by the empower^® Support.

If your empower^® Environment is hosted in your own Corporate Cloud or on-premises, reach out to your IT department.

If you have questions regarding this setup, contact you Onboarding Specialist or Customer Success Manager.

Note

Once the mapping of this folder on the database has been set up, renaming this folder via the empower^® Library does not affect the functionality of the logo feature.

Important

One Logos folder can be defined on a database for the logo feature.

It is not possible to add content to any subfolder in the Logos folder since it will not be taken into account via the logo feature.

Upload the logo graphics to the empower^® Library. For further information on how to save content to the empower^® Library, see Manage Content in empower^®.
When naming the logo graphics for the logo feature, the following requirement must be met:
Include #[logo graphic name] in the file name to later match the placeholder name.
To set up the logo placeholder in the master template, follow the following steps:
Navigate to the tab View and click on the button Slide Master. Add any shape, most preferably a rectangle, onto the primary slide.
Navigate to the selection pane by pressing the keys Alt + F10, select the shape and rename the shape (Figure 1586, “Rename Shape in Selection Pane”). MIO_LOGOPLACEHOLDER#[logo graphic name] – Names the logo placeholder. Replace [logo graphic name] with the logo graphic name you saved the logo files to the empower^® Library with.	Figure 1586. Rename Shape in Selection Pane
Select the inserted shape and navigate to the group Presentation Settings in the tab Slide Master (Figure 1587, “Group Presentation Settings”).	Figure 1587. Group Presentation Settings
Click on the button Logo Placeholder to expand the drop-down menu and choose the option Define logo (Figure 1588, “Option Define logo”). To confirm the shape as a logo placeholder, a message box appears and confirms the change (Figure 1589, “Message Box Successful Setup of Logo Placeholder”). The shape is now defined as a logo placeholder and the master is set up for the logo feature.	Figure 1588. Option Define logo Figure 1589. Message Box Successful Setup of Logo Placeholder
Click on the button Hide logo to hide the shape on the layout slides (Figure 1590, “Option Hide logo”). The eye symbol for this shape is stroke through now in the selection pane. Click on the button Show logo to reveal the shape at any time. If the logo should only be visible on specific layout slides, repeat steps 2 to 6 for each layout slide. If the logo should be visible on all layout slides, continue with the next step.	Figure 1590. Option Hide logo
Save the master template to the library. For further information regarding the master upload, see Upload a Master Template.
The logos are now available in the presentation settings for all empower^® Users.
