Customize (color code) folder/doc set icon in grid view of library
One of our departments has a document library with a document set for each course in their program. They'd like to color-code them by the type of course (seminar, studio or elective) in the tile view...
I've never seen a document library look quite like that before. What version of SharePoint are you using and do you happen to have any metadata associated with the folders?
We're using O365 and SharePoint Online. This is the default "tiled" view of the document library, but it's got document sets instead of folders (hence the different icons). There are several metadata columns in the library, but not the "Course Type" field (which would be used for controlling the icon color).
- I don't think you are going to get this working with a Field Customizer...I would say your choice here is to create a SPFx WebPart that you could add to either a classic or a modern SPO page
That's what I was afraid of. Wishful thinking, I guess. Considering this site is going live to an accreditation review committee in a few weeks, a custom web part is out of scope at this point.
