I've been reverse engineering this and I have found what I need to change. The BMC engineers have used minify to condense files down into two files - views.min.js (\ux\current\myitapp\scripts) and myit.min.css (\ux\current\myitapp\styles\css).
In case you're not familiar with it minify is just a way to make files smaller and/or packaged together. Many times files are just zipped so the http request is much smaller. In this case they are not, but the source files are all lumped together into one file so instead of the http server needed to send 10+ files it sends one file. This helps web page load times stay fast. If you get crazy into optimizing web page load speed you always want to minify everything you can and cut the number of http requests to a minimum. Anyway...I can edit those files and have the changes show up. I am very close to having this working, but it is very, very finicky - any small error and I have to restore the backup of the file and restart the Smart IT/My IT service. Finally - I am also 100% sure this is not the right way to do this. Minify-ed files are usually built using a script or a process based off of the source files. The correct way to do this is to edit the source files and re-build the minify files. I have asked BMC what the correct process is to re-build the minify files. I have no idea if they are going to tell me or if they are just going to stonewall me because I'm probably well past the point where they want people making changes.

My IT is archtected....uniquely. Doing this in Smart IT was as easy as adding something to the CSS and an onBlur uppercase to the HTML source. I need help finding the appropriate file to alter the login for My IT 1.4.00 The "view source" of the login for My IT shows these properties for the user name input: <input class="login-form__input default-input ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid" type="text" autofocus="" placeholder="User Name" ng-keypress="handleInputKeyPress($event)" ng-model="loginForm.username" name="username"> However, that's not from the URL that you start with at MyIT - it's cobbled together from a bunch of other places. If I could find it the CSS could just be altered to add the "text-transform: uppercase;" CSS to it. However, due to the chaining of the source files on the server I can not find the appropriate file. I THOUGHT I did, but apparently not....or there's some caching going on...
