I am looking to show an arrow icon on a report when a certain answer is chosen in a custom field. In the Advanced Options, there are only smiley face, flag, or colored circles options. Does anyone know if its possible to put a custom icon in (i assume in text mode) and how it can be done? Thanks!

Has anyone been able to do this recently? I am following the steps outlined, but I am not getting it to work. I am wondering if the changes in images being "on demand" have rendered this obsolete. I would love to know if there is a current working solution.

    There was a handout at Leap that a tutorial on doing this. The code they used was:

    displayname=Alert

    image.case.0.comparison.icon=true

    image.case.0.comparison.leftmethod=plannedCompletionDate

    image.case.0.comparison.lefttext=plannedCompletionDate

    image.case.0.comparison.operator=between

    image.case.0.comparison.operatortype=date

    image.case.0.comparison.righttext=$$TODAY-9d

    image.case.0.comparison.righttextrange=$$TODAY-4d

    image.case.0.comparison.truetext=https://WEBADDRESS

    image.case.1.comparison.icon=true

    image.case.1.comparison.leftmethod=plannedCompletionDate

    image.case.1.comparison.lefttext=plannedCompletionDate

    image.case.1.comparison.operator=between

    image.case.1.comparison.operatortype=date

    image.case.1.comparison.righttext=$$TODAY-3d

    image.case.1.comparison.righttextrange=$$TODAY

    image.case.1.comparison.truetext=https://WEBADDRESS

    image.case.2.comparison.icon=true

    image.case.2.comparison.leftmethod=plannedCompletionDate

    image.case.2.comparison.lefttext=plannedCompletionDate

    image.case.2.comparison.operator=between

    image.case.2.comparison.operatortype=date

    image.case.2.comparison.righttext=$$TODAY-3y

    image.case.2.comparison.righttextrange=$$TODAY-10d

    image.case.2.comparison.truetext=https://WEBADDRESS

    linkedname=direct

    namekey=plannedCompletionDate

    querysort=plannedCompletionDate

    shortview=true

    textmode=true

    1valuefield=plannedCompletionDate

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It doesn't display any icons. I tried my private web site, I tried the URL from an image in a project, I even tried inserting the Amazon links to the gif files. the icons never displayed.

    As far as I can tell it's not possible to get the custom icons to export and be visible. Even if you save them in the a Workfront project and use the Current Version ID as the target for the "image.case.0" line in text mode. John Mitchell Eyefinity

    Hi just wondering if anyone has been able to get this to work? I need the icons to print on a report or PDF. Also, where do you find the URL for the image when it's stored under "documents" in workfront? Theresa Gibson Reed Technology and Information Services Inc.

    Just in case anyone else finds this item later - the URL can be found here (taken from page 103 on Advanced Reporting.PDF

    1. Upload the image as a document on a project.

    2. Preview the document and copy the complete URL located in

    the browser.

    Below is the Text Mode from the report where I use the custom icon. Note that you have to upload the image of the icon somewhere within Workfront for it to work image.case.0.comparison.icon=true image.case.0.comparison.leftmethod=DE:IMO Trending image.case.0.comparison.lefttext=DE:IMO Trending image.case.0.comparison.operator=in image.case.0.comparison.operatortype=string image.case.0.comparison.righttext=Trending Up image.case.0.comparison.truetext=https://sbhcs.attask-ondemand.com/document/preview?versionID=573b5b5c00599fc292cdd2f577e9151e&ID=573b5b5c00599fc1e2fe2fb948aea537 image.case.1.comparison.icon=true image.case.1.comparison.leftmethod=DE:IMO Trending image.case.1.comparison.lefttext=DE:IMO Trending image.case.1.comparison.operator=in image.case.1.comparison.operatortype=string image.case.1.comparison.righttext=Trending Down image.case.1.comparison.truetext=https://sbhcs.attask-ondemand.com/document/preview?versionID=573b5b5c00599f93dd5bdb770c07b799&ID=573b5b5c00599f921e3703e1b3b53c15 linkedname=direct namekey=IMO Trending querysort=DE:IMO Trending textmode=true valuefield=IMO Trending valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString width=75

      Hi - I tried to do this and wasn't successful in showing the custom icon. Not sure if it was a size issue or a URL issue. Would you mind showing me the text mode line with your custom URL so I can rule that out? Thank you!

      I would also like the ability to add in a custom icon, and have read through the other comments/questions. Has anyone else tried to use custom icons and been able to get those icons to show up in a printed version of a report?
