# Journal Component

If you want to get up and running quickly with a proven Chart of Accounts (real-time balance sheet), General Ledger, and accounting report UX that matches your colors, fonts, and branding, then the Embeddable User Interface is your best bet.

## 1. Initializing the Embedded Experience

To initialize the Tight Embedded experience in your project, follow the instructions on [Embedding Tight's white-labelled UI](/v5.0/getting-started/quickstart/embedded-ui#2-embedding-hurdlrs-white-labelled-ui-hurdlr-sdk).

## 2. Adding the Journal to your app

To render the Journal, you will need to provide the `elementId` parameter, which is the HTML `id` of the main `<div>` where you would like the Journal to render. When your user taps on your "Journal" navigation CTA, you simply need to invoke the following line of javascript:

```javascript theme={null}
Hurdlr.renderScreen(elementId, 'journal');
```

## 3. Customizing the UI to match your branding

Tight's API team can quickly customize the UI to match your branding. Please follow the instructions on [Customizing the embedded UI to match your branding](/v5.0/getting-started/quickstart/embedded-ui#1-customizing-the-embedded-ui-to-match-your-branding).

Some examples of customized experiences are shown below:
