Table Icons

Give each table its own icon from the menu next to its name, so the tables in a solution are told apart at a glance.

Written by Emma Montgomery

Each table in a solution can carry its own icon beside its name. Icons help members tell the tables apart at a glance.

Here is the test: do your table tabs look alike? Give each one an icon that shows what it holds.

Example: in an Enterprise Risk Management solution, the Risk Register gets a warning icon, Risk Domains a folder and KRIs a chart. Members find the right tab without reading every name.
