In addition to the system SmartIcons that come with Notes, and which cannot be modified, Notes provides the ability to create custom SmartIcons. This article shows administrators and developers how they can create individual custom SmartIcons, or customize entire sets of SmartIcons, and deploy them to users, to be installed with a single button click. Accompanying files, including a library of useful SmartIcons and functions for distributing and installing the SmartIcons automatically, can be downloaded from THE VIEW’s Web site.
