We have a client that is running 8 different Ignition gateways, and constantly adding more. We have been requested to add in some text onto the home page to identify which gateway they are connected to. I don’t need to have a new launch page altogether, just slightly tweak the existing Home Page so that the customer can easily distinguish what they are accessing.

I saw this here:  
[https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2547&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2547&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a)  
but it does not seem to be current as the web.html file mentioned does not look the same. Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks!

You can try adding a description to the project from the webpage config:

Go to: [localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088) (or wherever ignition is)  
Click Configure  
Login  
Click Configuration -\> Projects  
Click EDIT on the right for your project  
Type in a Description and click SAVE

You can change the system name under Configure\>Configuration\>Gateway Settings. It is the first property. This will change the system name and it will appear on the web browser tab.
