Overview

These instructions explain how to embed the SmartSimple login process within your website.

  • Connecting the SmartSimple login to your website makes it easier for people to remember where to go. It also increases the exposure of the company's website to people using SmartSimple.
  • Every organization using SmartSimple can log into the system using the standard login (http://alias.smartsimple.com) entry point.
  • Alias is the short form reference that you create in the company settings page.

These instructions assume that you are familiar with HTML and have access read/write to the web page on which you wish to enable this feature.

The following examples show how these login pages can look:

Step by Step Instructions

1. Use your Web Page Editor to open the website page to which you wish to add the SmartSimple login.

2. Paste or type the following code into the required location on the page.

3. Replace xxxx with the company Alias.

4. Save the page.

5. Add any additional formatting as required.

6. Test the page to ensure you can login successfully.

Returning to the Custom Login Page when Logging Out

When a user logs out of SmartSimple they are returned to the generic "Alias" login page – not a login page that you have established using the technique shown in this document.

Use the following technique to take a user back to your web site login page when they log out.

You should not make this change until you are sure your login page is functioning correctly, otherwise you will not be able to log into SmartSimple. If this happens please contact the help desk.

7. Click the Configuration, Company Settings link.

8. Select and delete all the content in the Login screen content text box.

9. Add the following script.

10. Replace the hyperlink reference with a reference to your custom login page.

11. Click the Save button.

Users now logging out from SmartSimple will be redirected to this page.

Note: you can redirect users to any page that you wish, not just the custom login page.
