How do I create a icons only custom column?

pleiadesc · 09-22-2017, 11:18 PM

Hello,

I created a custom column named "Type" with values like Comic Book, Reference

I also created a custom column for "Read" using the Yes/No, I like the icons of the Yes/No column and wondering if I could maybe create custom columns with only icons in them

I like to make the "Type" column as icons, Comic Book value will be changed into the face of the Joker (the Batman)

Thank you!

@pleiadesc - Preferences->Look and Feel->Column icons (far right)

Rule would be something like Type is Comic

@pleiadesc - whoops, I forgot the 'only' part

If you want the icon in a discrete column, add a 'place holder' custom column. I use an Integer with a Header Name of I1, I2 etc. So the Set clause would look something like

Set the icon with no text of I1 to black_lightning if the . . .
