OM6.5: Admin > CMS > Static files

Note: CMS access is limited to customers on Pro and Enterprise Editions.

Static files are images, icons, fonts, and other files used in your portal's custom pages and layouts — files that aren't assets in your brand library, but are part of the portal's visual design.

Navigate to Admin > CMS > Static files

What static files are for

Static files are design elements that support your portal's appearance. Examples include:

• Logo images used in custom page headers
• Background images for hero sections
• Icons used in navigation or content blocks
• Custom fonts

Unlike library assets (which users browse and download), static files are used behind the scenes to build your portal's UI.

Note that you can use library assets for portal site assets as well - but sometimes you don't want your site assets to be downloable/shareable by users. In this case use Static Files.

Uploading a static file

1. Admin > CMS > Static files
2. Click Add Static Files (you can upload one or multiple files)
3. Select the file from your computer or fran and drop it onto the upload panel.
4. That's it —you can now copy the files URL to use it in your Portal design.
5. Optionally you can add alt text to each uploaded file (recommended)

Once uploaded, the file is available to reference in your portal layouts and pages.

Using static files in layouts and pages

Static files are typically referenced by URL in CMS layout and page configuration, or directly in your theme CSS. The URL for each uploaded file is shown in the Static files list.

Tips

• Use web-safe file formats like jpg, png, webp, svg, mp4, pdf, etc
• Keep file sizes small — static files load on every page view, so large images slow down your portal.
• Use SVG format for logos and icons where possible — they scale without quality loss.
• Organise your static files with clear, descriptive names to make them easier to find later.
