Overriding templates can have unexpected consequences - such as disabling actions, breaking layouts or preventing users from accessing your registry. Only make changes if you are confident in what you are doing.

To do this you will need the following permissions:

  • Allow user to manage and change templates

You will also need intermediate web skills using HTML or CSS to use this feature,

  1. Select Edit templates from the top right

  1. Select "Create new template"

  1. From this page, you can enter the template name that will be overriden and add custom HTML to be use to override the specified template. For example template names, see below under Default customisation templates
