Logos from reports
All reports (printouts) have the possibility to store a logo in the upper right corner. The logo must be stored as an image file in 2:1 format (width x height). There are several possibilities to deposit an optimal image.
Variant 1: No major quality requirements
Open a file of your logo and resize it to the ratio (2:1). The ideal size has proven to be 400px x 200px. Now save the file in JPG or PNG format and upload it to the ems under the system images.
In this variant, white backgrounds are sometimes not displayed correctly or are given a beige or slightly grayish background.
Variant 2: Medium quality requirements
Proceed as in variant 1. But save the file as 256color BMP. The easiest way to do this in Microsoft Paint is to use Save As “… Do BMP with 256 colors”.
By reducing the colors, individual colors in the logo can be distorted. However, the advantage is that the white background is displayed correctly.
Variant 3: High quality requirements
Maximum quality requirements are achieved in emf or wmf (Windows Metadata File) format.
To save images in this format, there is a trick. Open Microsoft PowerPoint and import or copy your logo into the report. Adjust the image to 2:1 format as well. To avoid losses, you can enlarge the picture to the size of the presentation. Now to save the image file, open the context menu above the image, select “Save graphic …” and save this in emf format.
With this variant, transparent backgrounds are also adopted.
Presentation of offer and invoice documents
Position of the sender address
Determine the position of the sender address. Only the predefined selections are possible. The logo is always imperatively positioned on the top right.
Window position
Yes, depending on the envelope used, this option can move the address from the left side. Infogle of the space required by the address is always recommended to use the address on the left.
Print logo
Determine if the logo should be printed on the report or if you use letterhead with pre-printed logo. The quality of the logo printed by the system is always worse than a preprint on paper. Electronic receipts (PDF) are always printed with logo and do not affect this setting.
Symbols (icons)
ems Web (desktop application)
With the introduction of layout version 3, the icon set from Phosphor is used. Phosphor icons can be stored in various settings. Phosphor icons are always highlighted with ph-… are always highlighted. For example, “ph-trash” for the waste bin. An overview of the icons can be found on this page:
Important note
Up to version 2, user-defined images were used as icons instead of an icon set. Some of these are still visible in the settings. These will remain valid until the complete replacement of version 2, after which the above-mentioned phosphor icons must be used.
ems Mobile (Mobile App)
ems Mobile uses the material icons from Google. All icons are permanently integrated into the system and cannot be customized.
