Implementing the New Design

Implementing the New Design

Overview

Starting October 1st, our new design is available for all users. The new design includes improvements for all modules, streamlining the use of FireWorks. As a first step, both designs will be available for users. This document will cover moving between designs, setting default designs for certain users and profiles, and best practices in implementing the new design in your agency.

Transitioning between designs

To help you explore and compare the differences between the designs, we've added an option to switch between them, using the Old Design and New Design buttons. These buttons appear in the drop-down menu under the profile icon at the top right corner, as displayed below:

Setting default designs

You can configure a default design view for specific users and profiles. It is recommended that the new design be initially set as the default for administrator users only. After the administrators have become familiar with the new design, you can gradually set it as the default for all other users.
Note: The default design view determines what users see when launching FireWorks. It does not disable the option to shift between designs, as described above.
The following procedure explains how to define default designs:
This procedure demonstrates setting default designs for user profiles. To set default designs for specific users, go to Management > Staff Settings > Users & Permissions, double click the user for whom you want to set the default design, and then skip to step 3.
  1. In the Back-Office, go to Management > Staff Settings > User Profiles.
  2. Double-click a user profile.

  1. Click Web Settings.

  1. Set the Default FireWorks Design to New Design, and then click Exit.


Note: This procedure is the same for both users and profiles. If you define a default design for a profile, all users with that user profile will share the default design you defined for the profile.
