Configure your company identity

  • Updated

A consistent branding strategy across all customer contact is vital for any companies marketing strategy. This is why IXON provides several ways to configure your company identity for the IXON Cloud. You can make it look as if it is your very own IoT Platform.

We distinguish two levels of custom branding: basic and premium branding. Basic branding enables you to apply your own company identity (Company logo, custom colour scheme, etc.) to the IXON Cloud. Additionally, premium branding enables to make the IXON Cloud even more your own. You can set a custom URL and change the support information to your own product support department. All IXON logo's will be removed if you choose to use premium branding, allowing you to market our service as if it is your own.

Basic branding

Basic branding is available free of charge for all IXON Cloud users. Basic branding enables you to set your own company name, logo, favicon, mobile app touch icon and colour scheme. Your custom branding setting will be applied through all apps of the IXON Cloud, emails by IXON and the IXON mobile app. You can make changes to the company branding by following the steps described below:

  • Go to the IXON Cloud Admin which is accessible from the Apps menu in the top right corner if you are currently in a different IXON Cloud app.
  • Open the main menu , go to Identity , then select the branding entity you would like to customise.
  • The table below contains a list of the entities you can change. 
  • Press [confirm] to apply the changes.

Premium branding

Premium branding enables additional branding options, essentially making it your very own IoT platform. You can set your own custom IXON Cloud URL, for which we'll automatically generate the necessary SSL certificate. Additionally, you can create your own custom terms of service and privacy statement, or edit ours to flavour them with your own name in the IXON Cloud.

You can activate premium branding via activation code, purchasable by sending a purchase order to sales@ixon.cloud (this enables you to add a project specific reference to your order).

Custom URL

Please contact our support department to set up your custom domain name.

Custom legal documentation

Required role

You need to be a platform administrator to edit the legal documentation. If you have a different role, this option will not be visible.

When you create an IXON Company account, you have to accept the Terms of use, this is a legal contract between IXON and the platform administrator that creates the company account. This person, hereinafter referred to as the account owner, is responsible that all users in the company account won't infringe these terms of use.

Additionally, the privacy policy will be mentioned to all users. This is not a legal contract but does inform users what happens with their data.

To help the account owner with his task of enforcing the terms of use, IXON requires all users invited to the IXON Cloud company of the company owner to accept IXON's standard terms of use. When you have premium branding activated, you can fully customize the Terms of use or Privacy statement of your IXON Cloud company account. These terms of use will form a contract between the user and the company mentioned in the terms of use. This contract does not affect the terms of use between IXON and the account owner.

Please follow the steps below to change the type of legal document that is applicable between the account owner and the users:

  • Go to the IXON Cloud Admin, which is accessible from the Apps menu in the top right corner if you are currently in a different IXON Cloud app.
  • Open the main menu , go to Identity , and choose [Edit] at either Terms of use or Privacy statement in the premium branding section.
  • Select what type of documentation you would like. You have the following options:
    • Standard: The standard legal document from IXON
    • Custom: A customized version of the legal documentation.
    • No applicable document: No active legal documentation between the account owner and the users.

If you selected the custom version of either the terms of use or the privacy statement, you can use the button to edit the document. You will go to a markdown page where you can change anything you want to change to the document. Changes have to be made in markdown. Please refer to this markdown guide for information on how to use markdown.
