Hi Team, I have 2 questions, 1. How to emoji or symbol or small images in dashboard? Will Markdown tile help here? 2. I want to create a dashboard like: Main Menu Tab (on top) & need to display the metrics on second tab with the chosen topic under Main Menu. Main Menu: “App” “Infra” “User Experience” Metrics: Here I need to see the Metrics for “App” if I choose “App” form Main menu. is this possible? Thanks, Prabu Balaji.S ---

I went through some notes and find how to add images with Markdown tile > **[Markdown Reference](https://commonmark.org/help/)** ---

Hello [@Prabu S.](https://answers.dynatrace.com/users/37096/view.html), You can read more about the custom dashboards and tiles (and emojis as well) in this question from the forum: [Customized Dashboards/Tiles](https://answers.dynatrace.com/spaces/482/dynatrace-open-qa/questions/232893/customized-dashboardstiles.html) Andreas Grabner also wrote a blog post about this topic: [Unleash the power of the Dynatrace Markdown Dashboard Tile](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/unleash-the-power-of-the-dynatrace-markdown-dashboard-tile/?_ga=2.213340630.313817504.1582534699-1229378446.1573204340) and we have a documentation page on it as well: [Markdown tile](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/tiles-markdown) On this page, you can view the markdown emoji cheat sheet (but I’m not sure if all of them will work in the Dynatrace - could someone confirm this?): [Emoji cheat sheet](https://www.webfx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/) ---

HI I tried to add some emojis in a markdown tile, but using e.g. ‘😄’ doesn’t work. Do I have to use image files and include the images? ---

If you use Windows Key then Period you have access to Emojis. You can even right click and select Emojis ---

Hi Chad Bingo, thanks a lot. I tried with ‘😄’ and similar markdown syntax which doesn’t work here. ---

[@Malaik](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/23195) The support, in general, depends on the font the browser itself is using. ---

It would be nice to have support for emojis in dynatrace dashboards directly, maybe by adding a font if it is missing, and to have support for markdown too, e.g. ‘😃’ for a smiley inserted in a markdown tile. ---

Hello [@matthias\_dillie](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/11732)  Can you please copy here an example of how you made it, I tried multiple options without any success. BRs, ---

Hi Malaik For me it works pressing the keys \\<.\> when in the edit window for a markdown tile. Then an emoji window opens and I can select and insert emojis by clicking on them. Another way is to copy/past e.g. from: [Complete list of github markdown emoji markup · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/rxaviers/7360908) Kind Regards Matthias ---

Thanks [@matthias\_dillie](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/11732) Copying the emoji it self is ok for me. But eh shortcut not working, I will check. Thanks and have a good day. ---
