Dashboard Text Node : Can we use a font awesome icon as a label

[Dominic Giles]

Before I go down the template route can some tell me if its possible to use a font awesome icon as a label?

The template approach looks ok but it would save a bunch of time if I could use the Label filed rather than coding CSS for each item I want to display.... 

Thanks Dom.

you mean a bit like this ?

Sort of.... But this focuses just on the value... I thought it would still be of value to specify the icon in the label... You'd then still have control over positioning without changing code...

Did you try just putting the html in the label ?

Thanks Dave...

I was confused by the fact that whilst Value has "Value Format"... Label just has the description "Label"

Inserting just the html in the label field gave me (as you rightly pointed out) the correct layout.

<font>
  <i class="fa fa-thermometer-empty fa-2x"></i>
</font

Which in turn gave me

Many Thanks

Dom

Great. Don’t think you need the font tag either. But meh.
