Removing the login form from your support site

The login form is enabled by default on Support Center sites.

Every user who interacts with you in GFI HelpDesk is automatically registered, and they receive login credentials via email. Registered users can log in to their support account to keep a track of their tickets and manage their account.

This form also has a Subscribe option that allows any visitor to subscribe to your company's newsletter and get emails for mass updates published through your GFI HelpDesk.

If your organization does not require its end-users to log in or subscribe to news and you want to free up space on your Support Center site, you can remove the Login Form by modifying your site's template.

Below are the steps for removing the login form from support site:

1. Log in to the GFI HelpDesk Admin Panel.
2. Click on Templates on the navigation bar.
3. Click Groups and then select the template group for your site from the list.
4. Click on General to expand the category.
5. Click on header to open the header template, which contains the code responsible for rendering the Login Form.
6. Select the code below, and delete it from the header template:
