====== About ======

This section describes ways to 

  * Globally override virtually any CSS on any page for all users, example usage is to show/hide page elements like buttons or logo/text
  * Fetch and display jobs/tasks from another system than FFAStrans or multiple FFAStrans Systems


===== Global CSS override =====

Technical information for HTML aware developers: all pages in webinterface attempt to load the override.css file. If you open the browser debug tools F12 you will typically see a 404 error for override.css (unless you did create it as described here).

  * In the root folder of webinterface, create the folder "alternate-server"
  * create the subfolder /alternate-server/css
  * create the file override.css

**Example: hide the "play" button on job submit page:**

Content of /alternate-server/css/override.css:

<code css>
[id*="player"] {
    display:none !important;
}
</code>

Tipp: Typically you can just use the Browser F12 debug tools to locate the HTML Elements properties you need to know in order to locate and alter it in the override.css
===== Fetch Jobs and Tasks from external Systems =====

You can use Webinterface to import/display jobs from any System that works similar to FFAStrans, having jobs and tasks. 

For Example: most Enterprise Transcoding, QC, Archiving and similar systems or a mix and multiple of them.
