Branding & Buttons - Cool Customization Features

by Sarah Franklin

We have recently delivered features that allow custom buttons on forms and some basic branding of applications.  Custom buttons have been requested from many of you, and I recommend that you check them out.  The feature allows you to place a button on a form and then connect it to an action. You can connect the button to the standard actions (save, delete, etc.) or you can connect your button to any custom action you created.  I immediately added it into my project management application to display a button to send an email to the project team.  I was surprised how much more productive I am using the application from the addition of one little button! 

Basic branding has also been a popular request.  Now, you can upload a logo for your application that will display in the upper right of the application.  This feature is really cool for partners who develop apps that they want to sell, and incorporate their own branding.  Also, it is great for companies that just want to show their own logo to their employees.  As a side note -- you can also set a default application in an account, and directly reference your application via a url.  Very cool for funneling people directly into your app. 

Read up on the release notes for even more new features -- and let me know if the custom buttons and branding work for you.
