tsm customise

You can use the tsm customize command to customise the look and feel of the Tableau Server client browser experience.

The image files you use should be in GIF, JPEG or PNG format.

The background colours on the header and sign in page are not the same. If you use the same image for both locations (if you use the --logo option, for example) your logo might look different depending on where it appears in the server interface.

As part of your disaster recovery plan, we recommend keeping a backup of the customisation image files in a safe location off of the Tableau Server. The image files that you add to Tableau Server will be stored and distributed to other nodes by the Client File Service. However, the files are not stored in a recoverable format. See Tableau Server Client File Service.
