As a JIRA Service Desk customer, I should be able to apply "advanced branding" to my support portal.

    • We collect Jira Service Desk feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Service Desk Server. Using JIRA Service Desk Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      We would like the ability to really brand the service desk portal to make it our own. The ability to apply custom CSS and other HTML assets in a way that is supported and would come along during upgrades. It could be as easy as giving us an area to inject items in the header and document the elements so we don't have to reverse engineer it.

      Hi all, 

      We are always looking for ways to improve the customer portal and have a few open questions around some of your branding/customisation requirements. We have created a quick survey to capture some of your feedback here: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/3335698/2017-Customer-Portal-Customisation

      Thank you again for all your continuous feedback!

      Atlassian Status as of 4th August 2015

      Hi everyone,

      Thanks so much for your votes and comments on this issue.
      JIRA Service Desk 2.5 has been released with the ability to customize the Help Center and we all hope you take it for a spin! JIRA Service Desk 2.5 contains lots of other goodness and you can read the full release notes here.

      After analysis of this issue we decided to move forward favoring ease of use by building an editor for the help center. The ability to add custom html/css is not something we can put on our short to mid term roadmap. Therefore we think it is only fair to not keep this issue as open and close it as "won't fix".

      We have also created two separate tickets to keep tracks of your other customization needs. Please vote on the suggestion you'd like to see first:
      Help Center Footer Customization
      Help Center Body Customization

            Hello all, (n.maehler)

            I was also struggling to find a way to adjust the portal CSS just a bit (font size, "Popular section" width, etc.). Other mentioned apps were absolutely too pricey for our use case.
            Finally, I found this low-cost app by Accxia: CSS Portal Styler for Jira Service Desk

            I hope it helps someone!

            I wanted to fill out the survey and unfortunately I have to agree with @Philip Colmer and @Rohan Fleming the survey does not help us.

            My wish is very tiny, because I just want to change one little CSS Rule but am unable to do so without a plugin

            And it seems I cannot mention others...

            rfleming@atlassian.com I agree with micah3. I went to fill out the survey and it is completely missing the point. There is nothing I can do with your survey that would give you any indication of what we actually want to do with the portal.

            Too often, Atlassian use their own products in ways that the customers cannot do without extensive re-coding or extensions. If you want to make your customers happier, allow us to use your products the same way that you do!

            Hey Rohan,

             

            Thanks for the survey, but unfortunately the survey is too shortsighted. Based on that you would not satisfy our needs.

            We want to be able to control the full experience. Similar to support.atlassian.com. The main landing page is a great example of this. With the ability to link into the JSD section and then within the JSD section then able to group different actual service desks.

            In addition to this, I think that the ability to control the actual way that the JSD section is laid out is super important. heders, footers, side bars, select what jsds to show.

            Hello,

            I created this plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.prontop.service-desk-landingpage/server/overview

             

            It may help you customize the Service Desk Landingpage/portalspage, such that you can add different information/html/macros, and even a categorized view of portals. Check it out

            It may help on the problem you describe. I'm open to implement features you need, e.g. like i18n macro constants!

             

            best regards from Pronto Plugins

            Hi Relihan,
            I'm fairly sure it's only against the TOS if you remove the attribution. There's no need to remove the attribution or links back to Atlassian. The solution/hack I've suggested is really just around more branding in the portal (colours, fonts etc.)
            Happy to be corrected on the TOS point and I do agree it'd be much nicer to be able to simply include some custom CSS in the product, but since it's been closed off as Won't Fix I figured a workaround would have to do.

            Nice work, however it would be ideal if we didn't have to hack things because unfortunately the method you proposed is against the terms of service. I got the following email from Atlassian:

            White labeling of Atlassian products is not permitted as per our End User Agreement section 4.6:

            4.6 Attribution. In any use of the Software, End User must include the following attribution to Atlassian on all user interfaces in the following format: "Powered by Atlassian", which must in every case include a hyperlink to http://www.atlassian.com, and which must be in the same format as delivered in the Software.

            Here's a hacky workaround if it helps anyone.
            http://www.glintech.com/blog/modifying-the-look-of-jira-service-desk-using-custom-css-nginx.html
            You can inject custom css using nginx as a reverse proxy (and probably other reverse proxies).

            Shouldn't the resolution be "won't fix" instead of done? This hasn't been done right? Im confused.

            I should also be able to remove whatever I want. I don't particularly like that I'm not "allowed" to remove the atlassain branding from the footers. Its one thing if I'm using the cloud version but if I'm hosting it myself I should be able to remove any and all links to 3rd parties. Or I should be able to use the software free for being an advertiser for atlassian.... you don't get to have your cake (us paying for the software) and eat it too (double dipping by forcing us to advertise your product.)

            Hi Guys, thanks for all your feedback.

            Although custom css/html will resolve most of our problems with portal branding. We want to provide you with a solution that is easy to use and will work today for future upgrades without destroying your styling. I have summarized a list of use cases that you've mentioned. Could you let us know if we've missed anything?

            1) removing round logo restrictions and styling.
            2) modify Welcoming message "Welcome to Help Center"
            3) modify colors of header bar/footer
            4) modify font type
            5) revert to default settings

            In SD version 2.3.3 any custom logo will be surrounded by a grey circle. This does not comply at all with our CD. I expect that a custom logo replaces any default styling options:

            .aui-avatar-project

            { background-color: #fff; box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #ccc;* position: relative; }

            The problem is that I have no access to the customerportal css file, i.e. therefore no chance to overwrite the styling,

            hi, we'd like to use the service desk portal as a one stop shop for all our customer needs. this includes a link to the product documentation and a 2nd link to the downloads location. would these 2 items be covered by the "custom html assets" discussed in this ticket?

            We are currently addressing this issue, some basic custom branding will be available for you soon.
            For the next iteration, you will be able to change the logo, text and color of Help Center.

            Having a announcement banner box (like Jira) or before body / after body hml boxes (like Confluence) for each portal that allow custom html / javascript is really important, then we could do the same customizations we do to other Atlassian products.
