Thank you @jetisco4u for your question!

It seems that it has been answered here in a similar topic post:

Custom Icons for Tracking Turtles Implementation

Hello, I would like to know if there is anyway to define your own/custom icons, apart from the predefined icons that DHIS2 is built in. Is this possible? Maybe to put them in some folder? What about file type and pixels of them? I have also seen that many of the icons come from “Healthicons.org”, but it seems to me that not exactlly all of them are imported in DHIS2. Is there reason for this? Thanks a lot for your time. Regards.

Thanks for the reference. The solution discussed there doesn’t address my concern because the process will be tiring for every icon/image I want to add to the data elements. I think I will create a separate table and connected to aws-s3 to store images. Then create an api to fetch the image with each data element.

Interesting approach! I hope you can make it happen and share about your experience in the CoP. I saw your other post about aws s3 and I hope you find a way. Please continue to share your challenges and innovations with the community.

Thank you!
