SharePoint Online, List Progress Icon?

Dear All,

Watching a video from Microsoft:

edit-list-items-dac1a1c3-a80b-4082-ba57-715cf613d0f7

I saw these "icons" within the columns called "Category, Progress, Priority". Unfortunately, I am not sure, what is the correct term for them? I tried to find a guide, how to implement them but was not able to find anything, due to the lack of understanding, what I am searching for.

Can someone help and guide me, where I can find such instructions or how to implement those "icons"? I would like to use them in a small list I am preparing and find it convenient.

Thank you very much,

Mike

    Hi, @M S ,

    The "icons" are simply generated by SharePoint Column JSON formatting. We can use it to customize how the columns look like.

    In SharePoint Online now, when you create a new column (like choice column), you can directly choose some basic formatting. And when you click the column header, navigate to column settings>format this column. You can apply JSON formatting to edit the style, adding conditional rules via UI or with JSON code directly. You can try with the UI approach by yourself.
