Wavelink 1.34.10 / Company branding & reports
One profile in each project
In the browser, open Administration > Company branding. In desktop Admin, choose Company branding in the existing sidebar. A current named project administrator is required. Each project has its own saved company identity.
Separate customer and software identities
The company logo, company name and chosen header/footer identify the report owner. Wavelink remains the software identity in a small generation marker. The app interface, sign-in screen, installer and publisher details are not rebranded.
Start deliberately
Existing projects retain their default appearance until an administrator enables company branding. Choose Edit company branding, enter the company name and select the generated PDF report types that should use it.
What you can set
Company name; company address on an optional cover; company email, phone and website; header/strapline; footer note; classification wording; report accent colour; left/right logo position; and an optional cover page. The accent decorates the report frame; safety/status colours in the data remain unchanged.
No change to saved evidence
Branding is applied at export time. It does not change the saved checklist, task, fault, signature, approval, reading, original document or record number. A newly exported report may therefore use a newer company profile than an earlier downloaded copy.
Set up and preview your identity
Choose logo > edit company details > preview > confirm and save
Upload a real company logo
Choose one PNG or JPEG up to 2 MB, 4096 pixels per side and 8 million pixels. Wavelink decodes and normalises it, strips image metadata, and preserves its aspect ratio. Transparent PNG is suitable. SVG, animation, external image URLs and arbitrary file paths are not accepted.
Preview before saving
Download unsaved PDF preview in the browser, or Preview PDF in desktop Admin, generates fictional sample content with a continuation page. An enabled cover setting adds a cover. This does not create a checklist or task, save the logo/profile or publish any operational record.
Confirm one project-wide change
Supply a reason, review the report-type selection, tick the confirmation and choose Save company profile. The saved profile has a revision, author and UTC time. Recent changes are shown in the workspace. Changes are checked again against your current authority.
Remove or disable without deleting records
Remove the logo from the draft and save to use text-only branding. Disable company branding and save to return future PDFs to their default appearance. Deselecting one report type leaves that type on its original layout. No existing exported PDF is edited or deleted.
Conflicts and interrupted saves
When another administrator saves first, reload and review rather than overwriting their profile. A retry of an unchanged save uses the same operation reference. After an uncertain save, retry unchanged or export the draft before discarding and reloading. Never assume a timeout means nothing was saved.
Reuse profiles without changing records
Portable company settings, not a project-data import
Export a reusable profile
Export saved profile creates a .ajbrand file containing company settings and the normalised logo. It does not contain user accounts, passwords, tasks, signatures or the profile audit history. Export draft retains an unsaved proposal instead; it is not proof of a saved change.
Import into another project
Open Company branding in the destination project and choose Import company profile. The file is validated and staged as an unsaved draft. Inspect the destination, company details, classification wording and report types. Preview and save explicitly. It does not automatically overwrite the saved profile.
Keep project backups
Full-project backups and full-project transfers include the saved company profile and its change history. Selected workspace/template transfers do not silently import branding; use .ajbrand for that purpose. Protect profiles because company contact information and the logo are included.
Work in one authorised account
Browser edits are held only in the current page memory. Same-account re-entry can resume wording after expiry; a different account cannot take it over. Closing/reloading can lose unsaved work. Desktop edits stay in the current application session. Neither interface adds an automatic offline save queue.
Practise with fictional examples
The example folder 15_Company_Branding includes enabled demo profiles, a disabled blank starter and a sample preview. Use them in an isolated training project; replace all fictional identity details before producing company deliverables. Importing a profile never certifies the company or a logo licence.
Know the output boundaries
Branding is presentation, not evidence editing or access control
Generated PDF coverage
Selected checklist records, inventory-verification reports, Tasks, maintenance work orders, certificate-register records, toolbox talks, published handovers, Fault Reports, shipment manifests and operations-log PDFs use the common company envelope. Continuation pages repeat the company header/footer.
Kept outside this first increment
Raw Excel/CSV/JSON data, original uploaded files, reusable checklist definitions, backup/transfer formats, QR labels and software documentation are unchanged. The company address appears on the optional cover. This is not a drag-and-drop report designer or arbitrary per-template layout editor.
Keep records recognisable
Mandatory statuses, warnings, saved authors, approvals and results are not configurable branding fields. Table semantics and safety/status colours stay intact. Wavelink generation details, company-profile revision and page numbers remain on branded outputs. No signature is fabricated by a logo or footer.
Language and document security
Company text currently uses Western European characters supported by the built-in report font. Other scripts can appear in the uploaded logo; broader multilingual fonts are pending. A confidentiality label is printed wording, not encryption or recipient enforcement. Existing source permissions still control export.
Update safely
Back up the project, preserve unsent work in every browser/window, stop the hub and close Admin. Update in place without uninstalling or clearing storage. Use 1.34.10+ on the machine generating branded reports. The unsigned online installer is not a Windows acceptance test; verify installation and representative company outputs before operational deployment.
