Support New Icons
A new set of icons for the SMART data model items are being developed.
CyberTracker Support
To support these icons in CyberTracker we would need to upgrade SMART to allow images to be mapped to data model elements (categories, attribute tree nodes, attribute list items). Then when creating a configurable model SMART would provide the option to use the default data model icons or supply a custom icon. When exporting the configurable model to CyberTracker the svg images would be included, SMART already provides support for jpeg/bmp images with the Configurable model, so we would only need to upgrade this to support SVG.
Issues: we would need to figure out how to upgrade images in old configurable models
The old version of CyberTracker requires bmp/jpeg images, Justin suggests the new version would support svg images (these scale better), so I would suggest in SMART use svg images and when exporting to the old CyberTracker SMART automatically converts the svg images into jpeg.
SMART Support
SMART could be updated to use the data model icons in any location where the data model icons are used.

SMART Styling Updates
- It is currently possible to use the SVG icons in SMART maps styles. However to do this you must link directly to the file ("C:\mycomputer\images\icon.svg"). If you share this style with a user on another computer it is unlikely they will have the icons in the same directory and the style will not work on this computer. To resolve this we need to modify how the styles work and provide a library of images that have relative paths and are shared with the SMART application. This library may be fixed (provided by SMART and the user cannot change it) or modifiable by the user, allowing the user to import/export images to the library
- Another feature would be to provide a collection of default map styles that automatically map data model observations to the data model icons. Such a feature would allow users to easily style the query results with the data model icons.
