:* '''Logo''' - The image needs to be a web facing url using https - (eg. https: //www.mycompany.com/images/mycompanylogo.png).  The image needs to be either a .png or .jpg type. The URL referenced must point directly to the image, i.e. the image has to be hosted in such a way that the URL only presents the image, not an entire web page.
+
:* '''Auto Login''' - This toggle switch is only applicable if Single Sign On (SSO) has been enabled. It determines whether or not a customer will always arrive at the main portal home page, or whether they are taken directly to the "My Services" page. If Auto-Login is set to "ON" and SSO is configured, the customer will be taken straight to the My Services page.
A possible solution is to create a new directory in the same location to where your company website images are hosted. The advantage here is that the location is already publicly available and in creating a new suitably-named directory, this should indicate what the images are used for.

:* '''Allow Profile Update''' - This toggle switch governs whether the "profile" tab in the Hornbill Portal is read only. If this is set to "ON", a customer will be able to update their details via the Profile tab.

In Service Manager it is possible to configure the Services you provide to your customers, and define which of your customers are subscribed to these Services.  Customers will only see the Services they are subscribed to when using the Service Portal.  When defining your Services it is possible to assign each service a specific icon, this icon will then represent the service on the Service Portal.  See '''[[Services]]''' for selecting the icons you wish to use per service, this can be configured in the '''Service Details Section''' from a library of available icons.
