Dear friends:

Here again, this is a very simple query, i found this template called “Property Manager”, as you can see in the two screenshots that I attached, there is a column with text and colored icons. I can’t understand how I can create the same thing for my app.

That is an if-then-else column. If you edit the column, you will see how it works. It looks like it returns a different emoji + text based on the payment status.

Dear Darren, that’s right, but where does the icon come from? Search all the tables, and of course the value is the text but also accompanied by the icons. Should I add CSS? Yes I understand the If Then Else functions, but what about the icon?
