Registration Group - Create - Step 4 - Layout

The Layout step of the self-registration group creation process allows you to configure the look of the self registration page. You can customize HTML above and below the self registration form fields. You can also add a background image and a transparent color block around the form fields, as well as define the font color of the form fields.

To create a self-registration group, go to Admin > Tools > Core Functions > Organizational Units > Manage Self Registration Groups. Then, click the Create New Self Registration Group link.

Background Image

This option enables administrators to upload an image that will fill the background of the self registration page. Administrators can select an existing image from the drop-down or click the Choose File button and upload a new image.

When uploading an image, the accepted file types are .gif and .png files up to 1MB.

Form Color Block

This option enables administrators to add a semi-transparent colored box centered around the self registration form fields. Administrators can enter the hex value for the color in the text box or click the Select Color button to select a predefined color.

If an image is not used for the page, then the colored form color block displays without transparency.

Note: If the color white (hex value = ffffff) is selected to display over a background image that includes color within the parameters of the form color block, then the transparency effect still displays over the colored areas.

Best Practice: As a best practice, it is recommended not to use color blocks with a strong red hue. Such hues can obscure the red error messages that display to users on the self registration page.

Form Text Color

This option enables administrators to define the font color for the self registration form fields. Administrators can enter the hex value for the color in the text box or click the Select Color button to select a predefined color.

Below Form

This option enables administrators to add valid HTML that will appear in a fixed rectangle below the self registration form fields. The size of the rectangle is 90px x 728px (or a 1:8.08 ratio).
