So in dashboards we can add tab icons which is cool. However, the choice of available icons isn't very good. I wonder if there is a directory somewhere on the install where you can add your own icons. I want to be able to customize these to suit our needs. Has anyone done anything like this before? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi Eric,

I believe it is not possible to customize this list. However, one workaround would be to add a emoji in the title.

Press "Windows logo key" + . (period). The emoji keyboard will appear.
Select an emoji with the mouse.

Note: this is a Windows only solution.

It would look like below:

Best regards,

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Your solution does work but what I can get out of emoji doesn't fit into the style I'm after. Its a shame that IBM decided to make this so restrictive. Cognos Paul built this functionality into the CogBox, however there is a bug with this and it kills all of our drill reports, they just run and never complete so I had to uninstall that extension.
