This is a Field Service managed package feature.
The Gantt is chock-full of information. Icons are a great way to share information without cluttering your screen. While icons are set at the individual appointment level, you can set up triggers to populate the Gantt Icon field on appointments of a certain type.
- Add the Gantt Icon field to service appointment page layouts.
- Navigate to the service appointment that needs the icon.
- In the Gantt Icon field, enter an icon URL. The URL must end in an image suffix, such as .png or .gif. We scale the image to 16 x 16 pixels, so square images look best.
- Save your changes. Dispatchers can see the icon on the appointment in the Gantt and the Classic Dispatch Console map. Images with a transparent background appear with a white background.
In the appointment list, you can also include columns that show Gantt or custom icons. For example, set up a formula field that selects an icon image. Add the fields to show in the Service Appointment List Columns field set.
Add an ice cream icon to an appointment that’s next to your favorite ice cream shop. Find a URL that leads to an ice cream icon, and paste the link into the appointment’s Gantt icon field. (Of course, we recommend scheduling a snack break after the appointment.)
