Community Settings—Login

This article briefly summarizes each aspect of the Community > Settings > Login Settings screen and how they appear in the Community.

Login Page Background Settings

For the login page display, there are two options to choose from:

• Use the same background settings as the community
• Use new background settings.

If you choose to create new background settings you will be prompted to choose a background color and upload a background image.

If you opt to use the same background settings as the community, the prompts for background color & image will not appear. 

There are two display options for the User Login page:

• Default: This means that the page title and description (Welcome Message) will always display to the right of the login fields.
• Slim: This means that the login fields always display and that the page title and description (Welcome Message) display to the user on their first visit as an overlay and then is minimized for subsequent visits.

You will also be prompted to add a page title, background image, and optional welcome text.
