# Customization Settings

> Customize the Client notification logo, recording-in-progress icon, report branding, email subjects, blocked-user message, and 2FA login instructions.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Customization Settings">
    Click **Configuration**, then select the **Customization** tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Custom Logo Settings

<Warning>
  **NOT AVAILABLE IN SAAS.**
</Warning>

Select **Use a custom logo instead of the Syteca logo** to replace the default logo shown on the Client during secondary user authentication, blocking, and similar prompts. Click **Choose File** to upload it.

<Note>
  Must be `.bmp` format, no larger than 525 × 40 pixels.
</Note>

## Custom Icon When Recording Is in Progress

<Warning>
  **NOT AVAILABLE IN SAAS.**
</Warning>

If [Display icon when recording is in progress](/docs/session-monitoring/recording/recording-indicators) is enabled, select **Use a custom icon instead of the Syteca icon** to replace the default always-on-top recording indicator with a custom graphic.

<Note>
  Must be `.bmp`, `.jpg`, or `.png` format, no larger than 800 × 240 pixels.
</Note>

## Custom Reports Settings

Add a custom **Header Text** and **Footer Text** to generated reports (up to 1,000 characters each), and optionally select **Use a custom logo instead of the default logo** for reports.

<Note>
  Must be `.bmp`, `.jpg`, or `.png` format, no larger than 300 × 85 pixels.

## Custom Email Subjects

Define the subject lines used in Syteca's email notifications.

For single-alert notifications, use these variables: `#name` (alert name), `#user` (user name), `#pc` (endpoint name), `#priority` (alert priority), `#OS` (endpoint OS).

For multiple-alert notifications, only `#number` (count of alerts) is available.

Click **Restore Default** to revert to the default subject lines.

## Custom Login Message for Blocked Users

<Warning>
  **NOT AVAILABLE IN SAAS.**
</Warning>

Define the message shown in a pop-up on the Client machine when a user is blocked. Default: **"You have been blocked. Contact your system administrator."**

## Two-Factor Authentication

<Warning>
  **NOT AVAILABLE IN SAAS.**
</Warning>

Define the instructional message shown in the QR code pop-up the first time a user logs in after [2FA is enabled](/docs/administration/access/two-factor-authentication) on their Client - only shown to users not manually added on the Two-Factor Authentication tab of User Access. Default: **"Two-factor authentication is enabled on your workstation. Open your authenticator app (Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) and scan the code before closing this window. On login, you will be prompted to enter the code from your app."**

## In Multi-Tenant mode

A tenant admin sees only two of the sections above:

* **Custom Email Subjects** - same as described above.
* **Two-Factor Authentication** - same as described above.

The logo, recording icon, report branding, and blocked-user message settings are system-wide and only configurable by the built-in default tenant's admin.
