Configuring Siebel Business Applications > Configuring Menus, Toolbars, and Icons > Customizing Icons > Example of Using Icons to Represent Values in a FieldThis topic describes one example of using images to represent a field. You might use this feature differently, depending on your business model. An icon map is an object type that allows you to represent the values in a control or list column as icons. Each icon map includes a collection of child icon objects. Siebel CRM associates these icon objects with a bitmap object, which defines the image for the icon, and corresponds to a specific field value. The Icon Map property of a control or list column allows you to define the icon map that Siebel CRM uses to render the values in a field. The example in this topic uses the Status list column on the Activity List Applet. Assume that the Status field can include the following values: You must configure the Status field to display an icon for each of these values. NOTE: If you must use a custom icon in a list applet, then you must size the icon according to the row font size of the list applet. For example, an eight point font is typical for Siebel CRM. If you use an eight point font, then the icon must be 23 pixels wide by 14 pixels high. If you change the list applet row font size dynamically, or if you place an icon that is larger than 23 pixels by 14 pixels in a row, then Siebel CRM scrambles the list applet rows.

Using a Default Icon in an Icon MapIf you use icons to represent values in a field, then the Siebel Web Engine renders the image that the bitmap references if the field value matches one of the icons you define. If the field value does not match any of the icons you define, then the Siebel Web Engine renders the actual field value in text. You can create an icon named Default in an icon map. If the field value does not match any of the icons, then Siebel CRM uses the Default icon to represent values in the field. This feature is useful to create an icon that Siebel CRM uses if a field might contain different values, such as URLs. To use a default icon in an icon map
