To upload custom icons in BMC Helix Digital Workplace

If your custom icons do not come from integrated applications, you can upload the icons to BMC Helix Digital Workplace. In addition, you can override icons from integrated applications with custom icons.

1. Prepare your custom icons.
   Image files for custom icons have the following restrictions:

   File size	Less than 500 KB
   Format	jpeg, png, or gif
   Dimensions	Optimal dimensions are 300 x 300 pixels. There are no restrictions on dimensions; if you are not satisfied with the appearance in BMC Helix Digital Workplace, you might use a graphics program to crop or resize the image to the optimal dimensions.

2. In the BMC Helix Digital Workplace Admin console, go to Service Requests > Category and Requests Properties.
3. From the SRD Categories list, select an SRD category.
4. From the Available Requests list, select a specific SRD.
   If you do not select a request, the icon applies to all SRDs in the category.
5. Click Choose File, and browse for a file with an icon. 
6. Click Upload new image to add the custom icon to the icon library.
7. Click Change to modify the default icon used for the selected category or request, and click OK.
8. Save your changes.
