Open OnDemand is built with Ruby on Rails which uses partials
+to build the web pages that are ultimately served to the clients.
All partials are held within dashboard’s views folder. These
+are the default partials that get distributed when you install
+the package.
Open OnDemand provides a facility to override any of these partial
+pages by supplying new files in /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/views.
Let’s look at an example where a center can provide a different,
+specialized, footer for the bottom of the page. Overriding the
+partial that has been distributed.
First, you would need to find the original partial that is being
+distributed.
We can find this file’s location at layouts/_footer.html.erb
+(relative to the dashboard’s views folder).
To override it, we simply provide a new file of the same name
+and path in the /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/views folder.
So, the full file path would be /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/views/layouts/_footer.html.erb.
+By providing a simple html file like the one below, placed in the location in the
+previous sentence, your center has now provided a different footer than the one
+distributed by the Open OnDemand package.
<div class="text-center h-5 my-3" >
+ My center's custom footer.
+<div>
+These URLs can be specified, which will appear in the Help menu and on other locations of the Dashboard. We recommend setting this in /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/env.
