Settings You Need to Know About
These settings are accessed by clicking Settings on the ELM main menu.
You can easily customize the system logo that appears in ELM System in the header of the login screen and ELM System pages. Simply click the Change Logo link and upload the image you want to appear.
You can upload or change the default image that appears for your primary ELM System contact in the upper right side of ELM System pages. For example, this could be an image of your Poll Worker Coordinator or Supervisor of Elections.
This displays the contact information and Login information for the primary ELM System administrator. The values from the Name, Job Title, and Email address appear next to the main contact image in the upper right side of ELM System pages.

These settings are maintained by VR Systems.
