Customize Other alert icons

The system contains over 150 icons you can use to represent Other alerts. You must add these icons to the Alert Icons reference table to make them available. This way, you can control the types of Other alerts users can create. Other alerts are grouped by the icons users select to represent them.

Users select the icon they want to use at the Icon drop-down when creating an Other alert.

To add icons to the Alert Icons reference table:

  1. Log on to the District view.
  2. Click the Admin tab.
  3. Click the Data Dictionary side-tab.
  4. On the Data Dictionary side-tab, click Reference. The list of system reference table appears.
  5. Search for and select the Miscellaneous Icons reference table, and click Codes on the side-tab. The list of available icons appears.
  1. Copy and paste the name of the icon you want to add to your reference table for Other alert icons.
  2. Click the Reference side-tab.
  3. Search for and select the Alert Icons reference table, and click Codes on the side-tab.
  4. On the Options menu, click Add. The New Reference Code page appears.
  5. Type or paste the icon name in the Code field:
  1. In the Description field, type a name that describes this icon. This is the name that appears in the Icon drop-down when a user creates an Other alert and is also its hover text.
  2. Click Save. Now, this icon is available for users to select when they create an Other alert.
