Icons can be a great alternative to using text; they can convey the same message to a user as a button but take less effort to understand.
How to use the Icon element
You can select the Icon Element by dragging it from the sidebar onto the page.
In the Find an icon box in the Main section of the settings panel, you can either delete the text in the box to scroll the list of icons, or start typing in the name of the icon you are looking for, and the dropdown menu will be auto-populated with options.
Once it's on the page, you can then style and size the icon to your preference with the other controls in the Main section: Height, Alignment and Color. Use Add link to link the icon to another page.
For accessibility, add an Aria label that describes the icon for screen readers.
You can browse Font Awesome's Icon library and check out all the great icons you can now use in Shogun here:
Frequently Asked Questions
I don't see an icon I want. How do I add it?
At present it's not possible to add user-uploaded icons or obtain icons not found in the foundry version seen above. However, you can always upload icons you find on the internet or used elsewhere to the image element to place alongside the ones we do have.
