The process involves configuring lobby settings, themes, banners, head offices, and categories.

Follow the steps below to add a template:

  1. Access the Lobby Dashboard page in Lobby CMS. This should be the default page upon login.

  2. Click Add Template to begin creating your custom template; To edit existing templates, click the three dots in the top-right corner of a template and select Edit Template.

  3. Customize the Lobby Settings as required, then click Save to confirm.

Lobby Settings

Lobby Settings define the core behavior of the template.

  • Login Type and Layout Type are locked after the template is saved.

  • Login-type–specific options:

    • Kiosk: Enabling Remember Me displays a checkbox on the lobby login page that allows login credentials to be saved.

    • Non-Kiosk: The MG Rewards icon can be enabled or disabled in the navigation bar of the lobby.

Theme Settings

Theme Settings control the visual appearance of the lobby, including colors and layout styling.
