How do I display an icon in a report specific column?

Question

I have a report that displays the adaxes logs for a specific scheduled task initator. One of my report-specific columns runs the following script:

$logRecord = $Context.ReportItem.LogRecord
if ($logRecord -ne $NULL)
{
    $executionLog = $logRecord.GetExecutionLog()
    $firstError = $executionLog.FirstErrorEntry
    if ($firstError -ne $NULL)
    {
         <# Todo if $first error, show icon indicating error #>
    }    
}

I currently have the data type set to text. Is there any way in the PowerShell to access the icon from index 30 or something equivalnt to that? My goal is to have some sort visual when an error is thrown in the execution log.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility. An icon is something that belongs to the entire report item and it is included into the Name column. To achieve the desired, you can update the Adaxes log built-in report to only include log records for the operations performed by a specific scheduled task. By default, the report is located in container Reports\All Reports\Miscellaneous\Logging.

That make sense. Thank you. Any chance the report supports passing back basic html into the $Context.Value of a text type column? Otherwise I guess I will end up just going with $Context.Value = "(E)"

Hello,

What exactly do you mean? Please, describe the desired behavior in al the possible details with live examples.

Sure, sorry abou that. The output of my report is this currently.

The value calculation for the report-specific column named icon is this:

$logRecord = $Context.ReportItem.LogRecord
if ($logRecord -ne $NULL)
{
    $executionLog = $logRecord.GetExecutionLog()
    $firstError = $executionLog.FirstErrorEntry
    if ($firstError -ne $NULL)
    {
       $Context.Value = "(E)"
    }    
}

I'm just looking to see if I can make the value currently set is (E) more visual. Would the report allow me to pass html back in the context value and display that?

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying. Unfortunately, there is no such possibility. However, thank you for the suggestion. We forwarded it to the corresponding department for consideration.
