IRIS OpenSpace can be fully branded with the practice’s logo, colours and other information such as SMTP server and website integration.
The IRIS support team do not support branding. It is clearly defined that once you apply branding to the OpenSpace portal and begin to customise the system, we cannot support issues with colour matching, website integration etc.
To access the customisation menu:
Click Settings and Customisation. A set of tabs will then display on the left-hand side of the screen. The first of these is General Details.
Portal Name - input the name for your client portal, this will be used in the title bar of the browser and instead of the IRIS Logo if one is not uploaded.
URL Type - select from either a sub domain of irisopenspace.co.uk domain or External Website.
Sub-domain allows practice name to be prefixed to "irisopenspace.co.uk", so that a logo can be displayed on the login page.
URL - input your chosen sub domain or external website URL.
Entries in this field will affect the links that clients receive in the automated notifications, therefore if not correctly setup those links will not work correctly.
For URL type sub domain simply enter the prefix to appear in front of IRISOpenSpace.co.uk (andrewsandbrown for https://andrewsandbrown.irisopenspace.co.uk)
Log Out Return URL - this is the URL that a client will be sent back to after they log out of IRIS OpenSpace.
Custom Folder - the unique reference for any customised CSS.
Practice Logo - upload an image of the practice logo to replace the IRIS logo on the login screen and in the footer bar. You can also replace the IRIS logo for clients who login via your chosen Sub-Domain (see General Details) the IRIS Logo is replaced there as well. We recommend an image that is 348 pixels high and 66 pixels wide to get the optimum presentation of the logo.
Browser Icon - upload a FAV icon to replace the IRIS icon. This is the icon the client’s browser will display when they bookmark/favourite the portal.
Show Header Bar Logo - this will place the practice logo at the top of the application instead of in the footer bar, when clicked this will display a small business card with practice contact details taken from the Settings tab.
Desktop Colours - change the colours of IRIS OpenSpace to match the practice branding, this section specifically deals with what users on desktop/laptop computers will see. You can change the colour of additional items by creating a CSS file to upload into the advanced section. A sample CSS file can be downloaded from the IRIS OpenSpace Branding Guide page.
Mobile Colours - this section specifically deals with the colour scheme of IRIS OpenSpace when clients login on a mobile device.
Advanced - advanced is not supported by IRIS; it allows a website developer to fully customise all aspects of IRIS OpenSpace. This should not be carried out as part of the setup process.
Status - set to Live to turn on customisations; if set to Disabled then IRIS OpenSpace will use the standard IRIS branding and logo.
To send the IRIS OpenSpace email notifications from
a practice email domain complete the SMTP Settings section with the customer’s
email server details:

Port - enter the port number required by the outbound email server, for example, 25.

Error messages displayed when sending testing emails from the SMTP Settings area will have come from your email server, you will need to look at the email server logs to successfully diagnose any issues encountered.
If you need to 'white list' the IRIS OpenSpace IP addresses on the email server to allow email notifications to come through, please add the following: 168.63.8.45 and 65.52.144.68.
Configuring the practice OpenSpace notifications to be sent from an email server is not supported by the IRIS support team.
You can tailor the setup of the email notifications, including altering the wording, layout and information held within the notifications.
Custom Disclaimer - enter the practice email disclaimer here, this email disclaimer is appended to all email messages sent by IRIS OpenSpace. When messages are sent using the practice SMTP server the standard IRIS disclaimer is removed.
Email Header - upload image to go at the top of each email notification; the recommended size is 820 pixels to avoid image being displayed incorrectly with a height of 110 pixels.
Email Footer - upload image to go at the bottom of each email notification; the recommended size is 820 pixels to avoid image being displayed incorrectly with a height of 90 pixels.
Status - set to Live when you have confirmed the SMTP settings are correct.
The IRIS image(s) will be displayed in all email notifications unless they are both replaced, a blank image is supplied in the Sample Files.
The content automated emails generated by IRIS OpenSpace can be edited in the Email Templates section:
Template - select the email that you want to edit. A description of the template is displayed on the right hand side of the drop-down.
Email Tags - available tags for the selected template can be added to the subject and body of the email notification.
Subject - change the subject line of the selected email notification.
Message Body - edit the contents of the selected email notification with a WYSIWYG editor.
Send Test Email - send a sample of the edited email to your email address prior to saving.
Reset to Default - undo your changes and revert to the standard template.
The 'Multiple Files Added...' templates have two templates; the one labelled 'Body' contains the message before the individual files are listed using the other template which just contains ##FIle_Name##.
OpenSpace can also embed a website enquiry form into your website to capture enquiries from potential clients. These enquiries will then appear on their OpenSpace dashboard under ‘Website Enquiries’.
As with the login code option, simply copy and paste the HTML code provided into their website to enable the functionality. This should be provided to the web developer for correct formatting if the site is not maintained by IRIS.
Adding login code and enquiry form HTML code to a website is not supported by the IRIS support team.
You can add a login box onto their website, using code provided within the customisation area within OpenSpace. This comes in HTML format and should be provided to their web developer to add. To find the code go to settings, customisation, login code.
If your website is provided by IRIS, this comes as part of their service.
When a document is uploaded to IRIS OpenSpace for approval, the system will insert a coversheet. If you would like to use the practice logo on this coversheet, they simply need to set this option to ‘Live’.
