6.8.1 Customizing Processor Icons
It is possible to customize the icon for any processor instance in EDQ. This is one way of distinguishing a configured processor, which may have a very specific purpose, from its generic underlying processor. For example, a Lookup Check processor may be checking data against a specific set of purchased or freely available reference data, and it may be useful to indicate that reference data graphically in a process.
The customization of a processor icon is also useful when creating and publishing new processors. When a processor has been published, its customized icons becomes the default icon when using the processor from the Tool Palette.
To customize a processor icon:
- Double-click on a processor on the Canvas
- Select the Icon & Family tab
- To change the processor icon (which appears at the top right of the image), use the left side of the screen.
- To change the family icon, use the right side of the screen (Note that when publishing a processor, it will be published into the selected group, or a new family created if it does not yet exist)
- For both processor and family icons, a dialog is launched showing the server image library. You can either select an existing image, or create a new image.
- If adding a new image, a dialog is shown allowing you to browse for (or drag and drop) an image, resize it, and enter a name and optional description.
Once an image has been created on a server, it is added to the server's image library and available whenever customizing an icon. The image library on a server can be accessed by right-clicking on a server in the Project Browser, and selecting Images...
