Compliance Pattern

Classification Banner

A top classification label for highly controlled materials, paired with a restrained footer.

classification-bannerOPF extension pending

Use Case

Security, policy, legal, or regulated decks where the classification must be visible before content.

When to Use

Use only when policy requires classification before the viewer reads the slide content.

When to Avoid

Avoid for ordinary confidential decks; a banner consumes attention and visual space.

OPF Config Options

Slide numbers: Enabled
Slide number format: {current}
Date format: Not used
Logo position: Not used
Legal line: Handle according to company policy
Classification line: Internal Use Only
Header content: {classificationLine}
Footer content: {legalLine}
Hide on title slide: No

Best Practices

Use the exact approved classification vocabulary.

Keep banner height small and consistent.

Reserve accent color for the classification label only.
