Customizing Processor Icons

It is possible to customize the icon for any processor instance in EDQ. This is one way of distinguishing a configured processor, which may have a very specific purpose, from its generic underlying processor. For example, a Lookup Check processor may be checking data against a specific set of purchased or freely available reference data, and it may be useful to indicate that reference data graphically in a process.

The customization of a processor icon is also useful when creating and publishing new processors. When a processor has been published, its customized icons becomes the default icon when using the processor from the Tool Palette.

To customize a processor icon:

1. Double-click on a processor on the Canvas
2. Select the Icon & Family tab
3. To change the processor icon (which appears at the top right of the image), use the left side of the screen.
4. To change the family icon, use the right side of the screen (Note that when publishing a processor, it will be published into the selected group, or a new family created if it does not yet exist)
5. For both processor and family icons, a dialog is launched showing the server image library. You can either select an existing image, or create a new image.
6. If adding a new image, a dialog is shown allowing you to browse for (or drag and drop) an image, resize it, and enter a name and optional description.

Once an image has been created on a server, it is added to the server's image library and available whenever customizing an icon. The image library on a server can be accessed by right-clicking on a server in the Project Browser, and selecting Images...
