USE CUSTOM ICONS FOR YOUR ACTIONS

Custom icons in actions or format rules

I have always wanted to use different icons in some of my actions, icons that made more sense or maybe in some format rules situations and I figured out that this is possible if you do some workaround.

  1. I create a virtual column and in the formula: "Text you want " & “
  2. Replace the bold pieces of text above to the ones you want, you need to use an icon or image url
  3. Set this VC as l****ong text and choose the option HTML
  4. Create an action and set this as inline and set this action to the virtual column you created
  5. You can ommit the system icon you want by just clicking in it 2x

See my example below:

If you want this in a format you can use this virtual columns with IFS() this way you can set the columns depending on certain conditions you want.

This way I use one custom icon in my column and I my app is more beautiful and customized.
I hope it may help somebody.

I’m not totally understanding your instructions that you have on this. Is there any chance you could go more in depth on this? Could you show the formula for the virtual column that you used in the image you shared? And I’m not sure what you mean by l****ong text as opposed to long text as well as the part about some HTML option.

I use this to significantly improve UI usability. Here are a few examples.
