  • 1.  Dashboard Tab Icons

    Posted Tue September 24, 2024 05:50 AM

    Am I missing a trick for adding my own dashboard tab icons? I find the included icons aren't very generic business at all, and struggle to use these in my dashboards as most of them aren't really business related.  I'm trying toof a scenario that I would want a bowler hat, a bee a paint pot or even two different speakers as tab icons. Not a single trend line, pie chart...

    Maybe I need to build a dashboard for the Honey Paint Music Company,

    I have submitted an ideas request asking for more generic business icons. If anyone wants to vote:  Give us better Tab Icons | IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers

    The free version of CogBox has a Custom CSS widget for dashboards. One of the features is adding icons to dashboard tabs



    At the moment I haven't found a way to allow you to modify multiple tabs with a single css widget, so if you want to modify multiple tabs you'll need to import multiple widgets.

    If you want we can have a call and I can walk you through it.

    Hi Marc,

    One workaround would be to insert a emoji. During text entry, type Windows logo key  + . (period). The emoji keyboard will appear.

    For instance, you might have the following:

    @Patrick Neveu Great Tip! Thanks.

    @Paul Mendelson The site I work out is a pure vanilla only install, I'll see if i can get them to look at extensions. Thanks.
