As a Master administrator, you have the ability to specify custom stylesheets and graphics to meet your company's needs. The system uses cascading stylesheets to specify the fonts, colors and styles used for the pages.
HRMS Employee Self Service also includes 173 x 119 pixel graphics on the top left corner of the logon page, the message center page, and each top-level menu item. You may replace these photos with a graphic of your choice (such as your company logo).
Custom stylesheets and custom graphics are placed in the CustomFiles folder on the web server where HRMS Employee Self Service is installed.
About stylesheets
You can use only one stylesheet for the logon page, but you can use a separate stylesheet for the system pages for each employer you want to customize. To change the color scheme or other items consistently throughout the system, you must modify both the logon page stylesheet and the system pages stylesheet.
The following table shows the default stylesheets delivered with the system. They are located in the ...\Web\CSS folder on the web server where HRMS Employee Self Service is installed.

Open the copied .CSS file in an editor (such as Notepad or FrontPage), customize it, and save the file.
Note: The stylesheet must contain all styles, regardless of whether the styles are to be used for Employee Self Service or Benefits Enrollment.
