Customize Icons

Customize KaiNexus with Font Awesome 5 icons.

When creating or editing an Attribute Value, Level Type, Title, Position, Employee Type, or Certification, you have the option to include an icon to appear in the system alongside it.

What icons can I customize?

Select one of the default icons available or copy and paste the code of a specific icon from the Font Awesome library. KaiNexus offers Font Awesome 5 which will support all icons on the site including those marked with PRO.
