Hi,

If you are familiar with Dan's famous IOL technique then, you can easily achieve this.

Please let me know in case you are not familiar or need any help to implement this.

Thanks,

Gaurav Sharma

Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for your reply.
No, I'm not familiar with Dan's IOL technique. What exactly is it?

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for the info. I see it will be some work for me to get familiar with it. I will keep this for the optimizing phase after the app has launched, and in the meantime describe the colors in the description.
Thanks,
Yo�l

What do you mean by this "describe the colors in the description"?

Intended = red, Requested= orange, Approved= yellow, ... 
So what I want to achieve is to not have to write the colors, but show the actual colors with a colored icon.

Refered the Solution posted by Dan and added the code, I didn't get orange icon, i think you can change it by loading that icon to a table and replacing the URI

 $("#descriptionInFacets").html("Intended <img src= 'https://images.quickbase.com/si/16/221-point_red.png'> Requested <img src='https://images.quickbase.com/si/16/220-point_gray.png'> Approved <img src='https://images.quickbase.com/si/16/223-point_yellow.png'> ");
