Updating the Primo VE Feedback Tool Icon

Ex Libris covers many aspects of their Primo VE Feedback Tool in their documentation, but how to change the Icon is not covered. Libraries have asked about changing the Icon because it often looks too similar to the Chat icons that many libraries already have in place.

In response to a query by the PALS Office, Ex Libris provided the following instructions for changing the Feedback Tool icon:
  1. Go to Alma --> Configure Views. choose your view and click on 'edit'
  2. Go to 'Manage Customization Package' and download your current View Customization Package.
  3. Inside the package, drag your desired icon to the 'IMG' folder.
    NOTE: The icon should be in SVG. You can use the following website to convert your image: https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-svg
  4. Navigate to the CSS folder and open the 'custom1.css' file.
  5. Search for 'md-svg-icon="primo-ui:exclamation-mark' you're going to see the following field:

  6. Change the ending of the URL to the name given to your icon image.
    For example if your icon img name is "test-icon" the URL should be something like this:
    https://mnpals-tst.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/custom/44BCU_INST-44BCU_INST/img/test-report.svg
  7. Reupload your customization package. The icon will the image you chose.
