Hello,
I have found QuickBase Clip Art Icons and have used this:
"<img src=\"https://images.quickbase.com/si/16/221-point_red.png\" title=\"PAST

But, I need to have at least 25 different colored buttons to use as identifiers on reports.  How would I create more buttons? 
Please note: I have no programming skills!

Thank you
Lynne H

Hi Lynne,
I was in your shoes about a month ago. A great resource that requires very minimal programming skills is Kirk Tratchy's magic button app within QuickBase. If you search for magic button you should be able to find it fairly easily, then from there his app has more buttons and button functions than most people will ever need. You can look at each button and copy past the code it makes buttons very easy. And even better he has a YouTube channel that help walk you through some of them.

I hope that helped,
Hank

Hi Lynne,

If you are looking for a library of icons you can use and an example of how you set up the formula you might find this article Colorful Icons make Quickbase more Productive a helpful resource. It links away to an accessible library of images you can call out to in Quickbase and gives an example of the set up since you aren't looking to have the images link away to anywhere you are just trying to display images correct?

You can do that with a formula rich text field and a formula like this as an example:

Case ([Status],"Not Started","<img src=\"https://images.quickbase.com/si/16/227-rect_red.png\">>",
"<img src=\"https://images.quickbase.com/si/16/229-rect_yellow.png\">>",
"<img src=\"https://images.quickbase.com/si/16/228-rect_green.png\">>",
null)
