In the portal, the standard icons that appear
next to entries help identify the class to which the entry belongs.
To better identify an entry among several similar entries, you can
replace the standard icon with an alternative icon.
When
you specify an alternative icon, use a screen resolution of 16 x 16
pixels to ensure that the icon is properly aligned and spaced in the
portal.
Customizations, such as alternative icons, are not
maintained automatically. As a result, alternative icons must be ported
manually upon upgrade.
Procedure
- In IBM® Cognos® Connection, locate the entry you want
and click the set properties button.
- Click the General tab and next to Icon,
click Edit.
- Click Specify an icon, and in the
edit box, specify a name for the image, for example, myicon.gif.
The image must exist in the folder c10_location/webcontent/ps/portal/images.
- Click OK.
Results
Wherever the entry appears in the portal, the alternative
icon appears instead of the standard icon.
