They say a picture is worth a thousand words \u2013 and the same can be said for an icon. Icons are simple images that communicate a clear and simple meaning. They can attract immediate attention to areas that need action,\u00a0<\/span>convey information and identify the status of something.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using Arcade (new in the ArcGIS Dashboards Beta), we can display different icons in an indicator based on conditions in your data. For example, displaying a check mark when values are in the \u201cgood\u201d zone<\/span>\u00a0and a\u00a0<\/span>warning icon<\/span>\u00a0when values are in the \u201cbad\u201d\u00a0<\/span>zone, or<\/span>\u00a0displaying an upwards arrow when counts have gone up and a downwards arrow when<\/span>\u00a0counts have gone down.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A good example is monitoring incoming call volume.
