Portal icons

There are many settings in Xpand Portal CMS that allow you to choose a different icon for a control on a page instead of the default icon that was chosen by the development team.

An empty setting where you configure an icon normally means that the default icon will be used.

If you decide to configure a different icon, Xpand Portal suggests several icon libraries to choose from. However, these icon libraries have different purposes - some of them are meant to be used will controls shown on the front end, and other - are only for CMS.

  Important

If you choose an icon from an incorrect icon library (for example, an icon for a front end control from an icon library meant for CMS), this may cause bugs or visual issues on the page.

After you have selected an icon library, you can use the search field to filter icons available for selection by your query.

Icon libraries for CMS only

The umbraco-icon library is used only for CMS; do not choose it when configuring a page element that is displayed on the front end.

Icon libraries for front end controls

The following icon libraries are meant for front end page elements:

  • Font Awesome - The default icon often use this library.
  • Flag Icon - This icon is mostly suited for localization-related controls.
  • Kendo icons - The icon library provided by Kendo.
  • Flat icons - Alternative icons for front end.
  • Xpand icons - Icons with custom design tailored to Xpand Portal. These are primarily created for toolbar commands.
