Editing an Icon List

Icon lists determine the icons available for selection when using an Icon type field. The left list contains all the available icons from the Icon List file as set up by the system administrator.

About this task

The right list contains the icons in this icon list. Your system administrator may restrict who is allowed to edit icon lists.

  • Not all icon fields use the same list. The name of a list may indicate what field(s) it is used by. 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.
  • The Name may only be changed in iBase Designer.
  • Icons can have a different shading color applied on a record by record basis. The icon shading shown in this dialog is the standard (default) color, which will be used in iBase unless you change it.
