Tableau Server on Windows Help

You can use the tsm customize command to customize the look and feel of the Tableau Server client browser experience.

Logo	Option flag	Minimum size/Maximum size, in pixels	Recommended size, in pixels
A - Window tab logo	cannot be changed	cannot be changed	cannot be changed
B - Server name	--server-name	does not apply	does not apply
C - Header logo	--header-logo	32 by 32 min, 160 by 160 max	48 by 48
Not shown - Sign in logo	--signin-logo	3000 by 3000 max
Header logo/Sign in logo	--logo	32 by 32 min, 160 by 160 max	48 by 48
Not shown - Logo shown when navigation pane is minimized	--compact-logo	32 by 32 max	32 by 32

The image files you use should be in GIF, JPEG, or PNG format.

The background colors on the header and sign in page are not the same. If you use the same image for both locations (if you use the --logo option, for example) your logo might look different depending on where it appears in the server interface.

As part of your disaster recovery plan, we recommend keeping a backup of the customization image files in a safe location off of the Tableau Server. The image files that you add to Tableau Server will be stored and distributed to other nodes by the Client File Service. However, the files are not stored in a recoverable format. See Tableau Server Client File Service.
