The Customization tool is an application that you start from the BIG-IP admin console. With the Customization tool, you can personalize screen messages and prompts, change screen layouts, colors, and images, and customize error and other messages to specific languages for policies and profiles used on BIG-IP Access Policy Manager.

The Customization tool provides three views.

Basic Customization (Quick Start)

This is the default customization view. Use this to configure basic look and feel for pages, and common text labels and captions for resources on the webtop.

General Customization

This view provides a tree structure for configuration elements, and more detailed methods to configure and customize objects.

Advanced Customization

This view provides direct access to PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files that you can edit to control the display and function of web and client pages in Access Policy Manager.

The General and Advanced Customization views provide two form factors, that you can use to customize different access policy features.

Full/Mobile browser

Use this mode to configure pages that are viewed in a web browser or on a mobile device.

BIG-IP Edge Client

Use this mode to configure the appearance and messages that appear in the BIG-IP Edge Client for a platform or device.

In the General Customization view, for each form factor you can also choose to customize Branding or Text by selecting the tab at the top of the Form Factor column.

Branding

Customization controls the look of the user interface, such as fonts, images, colors, and general layout.

Text

Customization provides personalization for the text and messages that appear for each language specified in an access profile.
