2.3. Width & height

Supply maximum allowed Width & Height of visual within layout. Make sure your logo file has exact size or less than both dimension limitations. Otherwise, system will automatically shrink logo that exceeds limits set.

i.e. If logo file is 500px width, it will be reduced automatically to 350px as per limit set. Constraint proportions.

It is recommended to upload logo in same dimensions as it should show up on the job board application front-end because some browsers do coarse resize.

Adding a favicon

Favicon is a website icon, displayed in a browser tab and used by web browsers to show a graphical representation of your site. Usually these icons are 16×16 pixels (sometimes 18×18 or even 32×32). If you don’t have your own favicon to represent your job board, there are various 3rd party services that allow you to generate (create) these from your logos or other images.

In order to add a favicon, navigate in admin to

Settings: Appearance: Favicon

Click “Choose file” to select a favicon from your computer and upload it to the site. Click Submit Changes.
The following file types are allowed: .jpg, .png, .ico

Please note it could take several hours for cache to clear and for the favicon to be displayed in the browser tabs.
