Hello forum!, I have a problem embedding an icon in my ignition table. this is my setup for the fourth column where I want to put my icon on (sadly it's not being shown). ![Screenshot 2024-10-29 at 22.35.12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/b/3bdfd0a52776df7c7170e70f31e1021b08bab965.png) render: view and I m putting the viewPath to my icon view and here is my icon view ![Screenshot 2024-10-29 at 22.36.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/a/ba0c61a2dd47b97e1f22538772e5e3a60394f347.png) thank you for helping me. another thing is that after solving this (showing the static icon on the table), I want to do a binding of the data to a dataset memory tag and to put icons dynamically (red or green), how can I do that in the transform script on the tag binding in the table please? Thank you. ---

Are you passing in the viewPath into your Icon view as a parameter? Or did you just statically define the icon path for now, to test? ---

What does `props.data` look like? Do any of the rows of the table have an `icon` property defined? In other words, your `props.data` should look something like ```json [ { "city": "", "country": "", "population": "", "icon": "" }, ... ] ``` at the very least. In other words, you need at least one of the objects to have an `icon` key for the icon view to appear. ---

for now I m not passing params, I m testing statically yes ---

Oh! that's true, thank you!. I modified my data to include that icon and now I m seeing the icon, but the naming is ugly no? is there any way to override it? you seen the screenshot here ![Screenshot 2024-10-29 at 23.44.38](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/8/c855d1e7b4644073feae57216f451df3671a4e23.png) and after that for the binding with the dataset (memory tag) how can I do it when transforming the dataset in the transform function ? Thank you ---

What do you mean by "the naming is ugly"? Also, what data does your dataset tag hold? Where does it fit into the picture? Does it hold state information from a device that you want to use in the icon column? Also, are you planning to bind the Table's `props.data` to the dataset tag? ---

the naming is ugly I mean in the table that I want to create for example the name will be Status not Icon and I want to show a green/ red icon there. and for my dataset, yes I will bind it to a memory dataset, this memory dataset will be refreshed by a gateway event script. After that I will bind the props.data to the dataset tag and do the transform in the following way: ```python def transform.. dataret = [] for row in range(value.rowCount): row_object = {} asset_name = value.getValueAt(row, value.columnNames[0]) for col in value.columnNames: col_obj = {} col_obj['value'] = value.getValueAt(row, col) if col == 'Status': #put the icon here in a good way in the dataset dataret.append(row_object) return dataret ``` I hope that it's clear ---

If that's all you're wanting to do, you could do without a transform (unless I'm misunderstanding you). Suppose your dataset tag starts with 3 columns: ```python city | country | population ``` The first thing I would do is to add 2 more columns: ```python city | country | population | iconPath | state ``` with the `iconPath` column holding your icon's path, and the state column holding either a text or a numeric `state` value (in your example, you only have two states - green and red, which probably corresponding to running and error/stopped). Then, in your Icon view, you would create some view params, namely, one called `rowData` - this object gets automatically passed into your Icon view when you render a column as a view. The `rowData` object will contain this row's data. So for instance, for row 0, the `rowData` object will be all of the fields in row 0, something like ```json { "city": "", "country": "", "population": "", "iconPath": "material/hello", "state": "running" } ``` Then, in your Icon view, you can read this `rowData.state` property and use it in a binding to set your icon's color. Similarly, you can also have a dynamic icon path, using the `rowData.iconPath` property. The last few points I want to make is that the `iconPath` and `state` columns can be set to `visible: false` and those values still appear in the `rowData`. The last thing is that you can change the `icon` column's `header.title` property to set the column text to `Status`. This would be much easier to show - a bit harder to type out. Let me know if you have any questions about what I said or if I'm way off! ---

Thank you, yes good idea but I want transform to do some filtering because I also have a dropdown with the table, so in the transform I ll read the dropdown value and filter rows and I ll render the icons like you said. Just last thing, I m not being able to change the icon header.time as you can see in the screenshot. Also this is somewhat off topic but I will insert many columns (10 columns) in the table and I tested that it can only show 7 columns after that it's starts to need to scroll right and left, anyway to make it really flex? and to show all columns always? Thank you. ![Screenshot 2024-10-30 at 01.02.19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/6/569f32b010ee4903979d7d9f221938d67a4bc183.png) ---

it worked like a charm, thank you.
