To provide users a quick, visual reference for employee attributes in the Matrix Grid Reports, you can add icons to represent certain field values. For example, you may want to indicate each employee's risk of loss as low, medium, or high by assigning a specific icon to represent each of those values for that field.
When the icons are changed for the Matrix Grid Reports, the same icon sets are used for both Performance-Potential and How vs. What reports.
Note
The icon settings that you make for the Matrix Grid Reports do not affect the icons used in the Succession Org Chart. However, the icons available to choose from are the same.
For a consistent user experience, consider updating the icons for both the Matrix Grid Reports and the Succession Org Chart so they match. If you've designed your Succession Planning talent card to use any of the same fields as your Matrix Grid Reports, then the icon settings you make for the Matrix Grid Reports are also reflected on the talent card.
To configure Matrix Grid Report Icons:
- To navigate to Matrix grid report icon configuration, use Action Search.
The fields and icons currently being used in the Matrix Grid Reports display.

Once icons have been added to the Matrix Grid Reports, they can be changed at any time. To change Matrix Grid Report Icons:
