Display custom icons instead of values in list views

Posted on by

Hello,

I found and article which describes how to do that at the following link.

This article says that it applies to the following versions of CRM :

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

But I tried to implement this with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2016 Update 1 and it does not seem to apply to this specific version.

Does anyone can confirm that this strategy is applicable to this version ?

My need is exactly what is described in the article. Be able to display custom icons instead of values in list views.

If not applicable, does anyone could suggest me a solution to suit my need ?

Thanks very much in advance,

Emmanuel Barache

    Hey @VirgilO

    Were you able to figure this one out? My icons are not displaying in Unified interface as well. Were you able to figure out why?

    Under the Classic interface the icons are working fine as described in the documentation. However, if I switch to Unified Interface they are not displayed anymore. 

    Inspecting the page (visually and in the generated html) it looks that the space is indeed reserved for the image as DIV. So I suspect the code behind the page is not able to find/retrieve the images when in Unified Interface even if I supply the full URL of the picture.

    Did anybody else encountered similar problems when moving from Classic to UI interface?

    We are in an on-premise installation.

     Thank you!

    Hi Guido,

    Is there a way to show custom icons for custom views?

    This is just a webresource method on any particular column in grid to swap the text (for ex picklist) with cool icons for extra cosmetics. If the related record attribute is in that view then rowdata can be massaged to display based on that.

    This is somewhat similar to SharePoint extension - Field customizer.

    Is it possible to access data of columns from related entities and add logic on values from related entity?

    This is for people referring this link in future :)

    "Tool tip" is mandatory for displaying the icons. Make sure you add tool tip for the icons to be displayed in the view. Else the icons will not be displayed.

    Hi Emmanuel,

    There's no supported way to do this.  But check out below site.  This add-on changes colours and style of grid rows.  I have never used it but you could give it a try.

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks very much for your contribution.

    I was also asking in my initial post (in case of not applicable to sp1) if there was a solution to suit my needs and replicate 8.2 feature in 8.1, including some custom dev eventually or using an external ISV solution ?

    Thanks for your feedback,

    Best regards,

    Emmanuel Barache - CRM Consultant (Novulys)

    Hi Emmanuel,

    This is a new feature in Dynamics 365 (8.2).  It is a bit misleading when on the top of the article it says the article Applied To Dynamics CRM 2016.  But in the specific section "Display custom icons instead of values in list views" it specifically says "Add custom graphics and JavaScript as web resources in Dynamics 365".
