White Labeling Sisense in Windows

Sisense enables you to white label (rebrand) Sisense with your company's branding by using either the Sisense web application or the Sisense REST API to replace existing icons and images with your own.

White labeling is a premium feature and must be enabled in your license. Contact your Sisense representative or open a request through the Sisense Support Portal.

To apply your branding to automatic emails that Sisense sends, see Rebranding Sisense Automated Emails in Windows. In addition, Sisense offers a premium white labeled version of the Sisense Mobile app that can be customized according to your branding, for more information see Rebranding Sisense Mobile.

White Labeling Sisense Using the REST API

You can use Sisense ’s REST API to white label Sisense and the automated emails sent by Sisense .

There are two steps to white labeling Sisense :

  1. Place your branded content into the Sisense branding directory where Sisense is installed. For a list of the files you can white label and their specific dimensions, see White Labeling Configuration Options.

  2. Access the Sisense REST API, where you can embed your content directly into Sisense and modify text displayed to customers.

Note :

Go to the REST API playground to explore some of the REST API calls.

To white label Sisense:

  1. Create a subfolder with your brand name in this directory (on the computer where Sisense is installed): “...Program Files\Sisense\app\resources\<YourBrand> ”.

  2. Upload and save your branded files in this directory. The following files are supported.

    • Desktop Logo (for example: Logo-Desktop.png/.jpg) – This is the main icon that is visible at the top left of Sisense.
    • Tablet Logo (for example: Logo-Tablet.png/.jpg)
    • Mobile Logo (for example: Logo-Mobile.png/.jpg)
    • Favicon (for example: favicon.ico)

      Note :

      Optimal dimensions for logo images: 92 × 26 pixels.

      Note:

      Logos for viewing the Sisense web application on tablet and mobile devices are only supported via the REST API.

  3. In Sisense , open the Admin tab and click REST API.

  4. At the top of the screen, click 0.9, which opens V0.9 of the REST API.

  5. Click /branding and then click the POST operation /branding.

  6. To get the required JSON format for the request, click the sample model schema to place the sample text in the body parameter.

  7. Replace the sample values with your required values. For an explanation of the parameters and how they modify Sisense , see White Labeling Configuration Options .

    Note :

    Make sure to delete parameters you don't want to change before running the call. Leaving "string" values will overwrite the Sisense default configuration.

  8. Click RUN .

  9. Refresh the Sisense page to view your changes.
