In the interim, Task Management and Report Management may offer some of the functionality to view what your users see, and the Explorance Customer Support team is here to assist you. ### Login page background image Blue 9's new foundation offers improved security and a simplified login process for users. If users are part of multiple datasources, they no longer need to select one of these datasources upon logging in. Instead, a pop-up window will replace the full-screen login process. The login background image has been removed, however, clients can customize the pop-up window by adding their logo. ### Homepage message (subject and default) The option to display a homepage message to users with a subject or default role has been removed. In return, you can now showcase an advisory message to all users on the new Blue 9 homepage which can still convey important information to your users. In Blue 9, you also gain the capability to display [designated custom launchers](blue-9-transition-guide-from-blue-8-to-9) on the new homepage. ### On-premise solution The option to deploy Blue on-premise is no longer being supported. Blue 9 will be offered exclusively as an Explorance hosted platform. This will ensure that clients have access to new features and services such as the Blue Dashboard, SMS invitations and reminders, QR codes, short links, and completion certificates.
