Welcome screen - Customization

All,

I have customized the DOORS 9.2 welcome screen Eg: Support link, Project doc's, Ask an expert related stuff to our own libraries.....

I would like to have this as a package and roll out to all my users.

Have any one done this before?

Please let me know how to do that, Thanks

Regards,
Muruga

I have tried to do the same. The link updates are automatically available for everyone, but I could not get the icons changes to other users. I believe the icon files would need to be uploaded to the server, but I don't know which server and which location.

Do you have more details about this ?

Best regards,

Servanne.

Hello,

you must modify html files in welcome directory. In my server :
(c:\program files\Telelogic\DOORS9.1\lib\html\welcome)

(i don't remember where i have nor where i have found documentation)

You can modify panels directly from DOORS client :
  • login as Administrator
  • right clic on database
  • Properties
  • Tab "Welcome Screen"
  • clic on "Documentation" or "Support" icon
  • You can modifiy text, and see in which file it is.
