Add custom icons to service appointments on the Field Service Gantt, map, and
appointment list so dispatchers can quickly identify appointment characteristics. For example, use
a custom icon to indicate that an appointment is for a VIP or first-time customer.

Read and Edit on service appointments
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.
Example
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.)
