Replacing Pictograms on Area Group Pages and Area Pages 

Use

On the area group page, the system displays a pictogram (graphic) of 48x48 pixels for each area. This pictogram is also displayed on the area pages. This makes navigation between the services more intuitive for users.

We deliver a suitable pictogram as a graphic file for each area included in the standard delivery. However, you can replaces this file with your own graphics. You can also store graphics for customer-specific areas.

Prerequisites

The graphic formats .GIF and .JPEG are supported.
