Instructions to Change the Header Images in SSP and MyGPS

Updated: 10/12/2014

Applies to SSP v2.5.X or later

Purpose: 

Standard images displayed at header in SSP and MyGPS are provided in the source code.  T'he images can be swapped out in the source code so deployments will include an image to represent the implementation.  Most commonly, implementers swap the default image with the institution/organization logo.
