Hi @rrossi ,

Does this require any particular set of WebUI site versions?

Does this apply to baselines?

Thank you!

Hi,

  1. new default icons can be added directly into the config folder of SSA or you can use SSA configuration page in the WebUI (SWD site 52 or above).
  2. Yes, the Multiple Action Group icon applies to the baselines.

Thank you! I didn’t realized at first that it’s only the default icons. :slight_smile:
