Customizing icons


An icon can be displayed for each item and category in the Catalog. You can use custom icons from the following integrated applications:

  • BMC Service Request Management
  • BMC HR Case Management
  • BMC Digital Workplace Catalog

In addition, you can use icons installed with BMC Digital Workplace or you can upload custom icons in BMC Digital Workplace. If icons are not provided from the integrated applications and you do not specify the icon, then a default icon from BMC Digital Workplace is used.
