Adding an Icon

To add an icon:

1 Type a name for your icon in the Name field.
2 Click

. The file browser window appears.

3 Select your desired icon file and click

.

NOTE:

The icon file must be in .png format and 16x16 pixels in size. If the icon file

does not have proper transparency set up in the alpha layer of the file, it may not

show up correctly on maps.

Adding a Filter

To add a filter:

1 Type the string of the filter to use in the Filter String field.

NOTE:

You can use * for wild card strings and ? for wild card single character.

2 Select an icon, that you want to associate with the filter, from the Icon

dropdown and click

.

Sorting Filters

Select the desired filter and click or to move the filter up or down

the list. The printers use the icon of the first matching filter.
For example, printer XYZ-237 with a description of Dell 5330 + 2 Trays

is posted on a map. In the filter list, you have four entries in this order:

5330

Dell

*5330*

*Tray*

According to this list of priorities, the first matching filter would be *5330*

and the printer uses the icon for the filter names *5330*. The reason for this

is the first two filters do not utilize wild card characters. Without the

wildcards, the utility assumes that you want items labeled exactly 5330 or

Dell, and not strings containing these words. The search doesn't proceed

beyond *5330* to search *Tray* as the filter named *5330* has a higher

priority rating.
