Adding and Removing Custom Icons

Training demonstration related to this topic (click to start): Dashboard Menu, Icons, and Custom Icons (5:45)

You can add custom icons to the GlobalWare icon toolbar to access functions or reports you use frequently, but are not accessible already by the system-default (standard) icons. Custom icons are removable.

Note: All changes to the icon toolbar are applied only to your personal GlobalWare profile.

Adding a custom icon

To add a custom icon to the icon toolbar:

1. Right-click on the submenu function or report for which you want to add an icon.

2. Click Create New Icon.

   Note: If Create New Icon does not appear, the function or report is already associated with an icon on the icon toolbar.

   Windows Explorer displays the GlobalWare menu icons folder (Gblware\MenuIcons). (You indicated where the Gblware folder should be located on your computer when you installed GlobalWare.) The MenuIcons folder contains all image files for standard and custom icons.

3. In Windows Explorer, choose the desired icon in either of the following ways:

   • Select the icon image file and click Open, or
   • Double-click the icon image file

   The icon toolbar displays the custom icon to the right of the standard icons (to the right of the ? icon).

Removing a custom icon

Remove a custom icon from the icon toolbar in either of the following ways:

• Use the icon toolbar to remove the icon.

  1. Right-click the icon in the icon toolbar.

  2. Click Delete Icon.

• Use the menu to remove the icon.

  1. Right-click on the submenu function or report for which you want to remove an icon.

  2. Click Delete Icon.

     Note: If Delete Icon does not appear, the function or report is a standard icon on the icon toolbar. It cannot be removed from the toolbar in this way. To remove a standard icon, see Adding, Removing, and Resetting Standard GlobalWare Icons.
