File icons

Beneath File icons you can decide what icons to use on the website. If you do not make any settings the SiteVision icons for for instance pdf, word and files will be used.

There is a small and a large alternative of all the icons. The large icons are used in portlets like Search and Fileshare. The smaller icons are used as link icons in the Text and Table portlet.

Use default


Beneath File icons there is a list for the mapping of file icons. By default the alternative Use default is checked. There is a small icon and a large icon for each file extension.
Use default icon
Some types of files or folders only have a large icon by default:
default icon for folder
This means it currently does not have a link icon. The small icons are only used as link icons in the text and table portlet (if you link to another type than html).

No icons


If you select this alternative there will be no icons for this type of file. If you choose to not display any icons on for instance a .bmp there will be no icon when adding that type of file in the fileshare.
No file icons
When you choose No icons you will have an exclamation mark on that type of icon in the list so you can see it has been changed.

Custom settings


Here you can make custom settings for the types of files where you would like a specific icon. Choose Custom settings and locate the icons by clicking the Select button.
