In the Graphic Display tab you can specify which symbol is used to display the database in the program and the address on the map. This may be a custom symbol, or a standard symbol already available in the program.
If you use a standard symbol, you can create a graphical address filter. Addresses are displayed in different colours on the map according to different criteria (e.g. sales) by means of a graphical filter.
You also have the option to specify how addresses should be labelled on the map.
Upload the symbols you wish to use for displaying the database and the addresses on the map.
Tip: At a later stage, you can assign different symbols to individual addresses (see Assigning different symbols to addresses). You should therefore upload all the symbols you wish to use to the database.
Select 
Edit > 
Address Display on the toolbar above the list.
Select the option Use custom symbol in the Symbol tab.

Notes: Graphics files of up to 48 x 48 pixels can be displayed as symbols in the program. You can upload graphics of up to 256 x 256 pixels; these will be reduced to the size of 48 x 48 pixels. The graphics file must be in an appropriate format.
