General Settings

General Configuration Settings

• Fluid Tenant Name
  The name of the instance to appear on the login screen and all automated emails.

• Application Timezone
  The DEFAULT timezone for the instance. Time zones for individuals can be set on their individual account profiles so that they will see Meetings and receive meeting 

• Support Email Address
  By default, the support email address will be the Fluid Support team email support@fluid.work. If you would prefer to direct your Fluid user base to an internal support email within your organisation, you can update this to an email address of you choice.
  
  Some organisations choose to route initial questions to their own application administrators first and the application admins escalate questions they cannot answer to the Fluid team via our own support chat or email address.

Branding

• Branding Primary Color
  Your primary branding color (hex). We suggest selecting a darker color as a highlight, often used with white text.

  You will see this reflected in the:

  • Left side navigation bar at the top of each Fluid page, forming a gradient, blended with your secondary branding color.

  • Used for Section Headers throughout Fluid as an accent.
    

• Secondary Branding Color
  A secondary branding color (hex). We suggest using a lighter color to soften the UI.

  You will see this reflected in the:

  • Right side navigation bar at the top of each Fluid page, forming a gradient, blended with your secondary branding color.

  • In the background of your Fluid pages, but as a softer, less saturated backdrop.
    

• Email Branding Colour
  Your corporate colour to be included on automated emails and pdf minutes.
  

• Company Logo
  Your company's logo. This will be displayed on the login page, meeting minutes and can be used to build custom templates.
  

• Application Home Logo
  This will be displayed on the top left of the site navigation bar. This image should be in a .png file format, with a transparent background and have a 1x4 aspect ratio e.g. 100px high by 400px wide.
  

• Customise the home page image
  This should be rectangular (approx. h200px x w900px) and will be shown on the home page.

  You can extract information out of Fluid into Word and Powerpoint templates. The instance comes configured with some default templates - although you can create and upload your own under Export Templates (outlined below).

• Email Logo
  This will be displayed on email notifications sent out from Fluid, replacing the Fluid logo.
  
  The logo should ideally have a transparent background. In order to be proportionate within the email it is recommended that the height does not exceed 180px and width does not exceed 220px. It will be shown at the top of all emails.
