Editing icon Lists

For certain types of entity, you might want to allow the icon to be selected from a list rather than providing a single icon. You can edit icon lists to determine which icons you can select when using an Icon type field.

About this task

Not all icon fields use the same list. The name of a list should indicate the intended use. For example, the 'Crime Icon' list might be the list for the 'Icon' field of 'Crime' entity type records.

The icon lists, and the fields they apply to, are defined in the database design. Your system administrator may restrict who is allowed to edit icon lists. The Name can only be changed in iBase Designer.

In the Icon List dialog, the left list contains all the available icons from the Icon List file as set up by the system administrator. The right list contains the icons in this icon list.

Procedure

  1. Select New > Code List > Icon List.

  2. Enter or edit the description.

  3. Click to select an icon in the left Items list and note its preview to the right of this list. If you want it to be available in the icon list click Add to move it to the right list.

  4. Click to select an icon in the right list and note its preview to the left of the list.

    Tip: It you want to remove it from this icon list click Remove to move it to the left list.
