I have a column that shows the progress in a book pulled from my Kobo devices. I then use multiple icons to show more status. A tick for finished, a book for reading, a star if I want to rate it somewhere and a couple of other things. I think there can be five icons.

To do this, the icon rule has to be either "composed icons w/no text" or "composed icons with text". Two of the rules are:

Code:

Advanced Rule: set composed icons w/no text for column Kobo % Read:
<pre>program:
	test(
		or(
			cmp(field('#kobo_percentread'), 100, '', 'Y', 'Y'),
			str_in_list(field('#status'), ',', 'Finished', 'y', ''),
			field('#read')),
	'ok.png',
	'')

That puts the tick in the column if the book is 100% finished or a couple of other conditions (which I should remove). The column #status is populated by a reading list. It also means the value isn't displayed.

Code:

Advanced Rule: set composed icons w/text for column Kobo % Read
program:
	str_in_list(field('#status'), ',', 'toRate', 'rating.png', '')

Which puts a star in the column if the book is in the "To rate" list.

When I finish a book, I connect the device, fetch the status and put the book into the "to rate' list. The tick and the star are displayed with no text. When I move the book from the "to rate" list to the "Finished" list, the star disappears.
