# Branding Settings

<div class="ng-access" markdown>
**Who can do this:** <span class="ng-badge ng-badge--superuser">Superuser</span> <span class="ng-badge ng-badge--admin">Admin</span> &nbsp;·&nbsp; **Where:** Dashboard → Settings → **Branding Settings**

Make NorthGrid look like *your* company — the app's name and colors, your logo, and how generated PDF reports are titled, colored, and footed. One **Save Settings** button applies everything; blank fields fall back to sensible defaults, so you only override what you care about.

<!-- SCREENSHOT: branding-settings-01.png — identity, colors, logo, and PDF report cards -->

## Tenant identity

- **Application Name** — shown in the top navigation on every page. Leave blank for the default.
- **Footer Company Name** — appears as `© <year> [Company Name]` in the page footer.

## Field labels

- **Tag # Field Label** — rename the tag field everywhere it appears (forms, detail pages, reports). Blank uses the default *"Tag #"*. Handy when a client's world calls it "Asset ID" or "Panel ID."

## Colors

Pickers for **Primary Color**, **Secondary Color**, **Header Background**, and **Footer Background** set the app's palette for your tenant.

## Logo

Upload a **PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, or SVG** up to 5 MB (recommended max width 400px). The current logo previews on the card; uploading again replaces it. The logo flows into the app header and onto generated reports.

## PDF reports

- **PDF Footer Text** — printed at the bottom of every generated report page.
- **Report Title Color** — the color of headings like "Site Report" and "Equipment Detail." Leave blank (or press **Clear**) to inherit your Primary Color.
- **Report Accent Color** — the accent bars beside section titles and the band under page headers. Blank/**Clear** inherits Secondary Color.
- **Site Report Intro Page** — write a title and body once, toggle it on, and every site report opens with your intro page.

## Deficiency workflow

Two timing knobs for the deficiency lifecycle:

- **Archive interval** — how long after a deficiency is **resolved** before it's archived out of the active view (default 6 months).
- **Review interval** — how often open deficiencies should be re-reviewed, in days (default 90); the form shows a live "≈ N weeks / months" translation as you type.

*(If these controls show a migration notice instead, the deficiency-archive database migration hasn't been run on your tenant yet.)*

## Troubleshooting

**My logo upload was rejected.**
:   Check the type (PNG/JPG/GIF/WebP/SVG) and size (max 5 MB). Very wide images work but 400px is the sweet spot for the header.

**Reports still show the old colors.**
:   Colors are read at generation time — regenerate the report after saving. If a *Report* color looks wrong, remember blank report colors inherit Primary/Secondary; use **Clear** to intentionally fall back.

**I renamed the Tag # label but old PDFs still say Tag #.**
:   Already-generated PDFs are snapshots; the new label applies to reports generated from now on.
