- Simplified design that fit within client's budgetary constraints, but can be used as a base for more dynamic and feature rich enhancements in the future
- Extremely simple Skin Management UI that non-technical users assigned to perform tenant administrative tasks can use to adjust their skin look
- Skin configuration changes must apply immediately and not require a server restart
- Skin configuration changes apply immediately to all servers in a cluster without administrative intervention
- Approach that can be used in non-tenant situations to allow for simple, basic adjustments to a general uPortal skin experience, hopefully growing more sophisticated over time
- Leverage if possible the same skin technologies used for Respondr
- Do not require duplication of Respondr skin files to allow for configurable skinning to ease long term maintenance.
- Be able to handle a large number of tenants, upwards of 800+, with reasonable system resource impacts.
The Skin Manager is NOT intended to significantly alter the skins as would be done for a typical University deployment where the University's staff would generally copy Respondr's default skin and modify the source files to achieve the desired skin appearance.
