Hidden Images Available on Salesforce Servers

Hidden Images Available on Salesforce Servers

Did you know that there are secret images hidden on Salesforce servers that are intended for use in IMAGE() formulas? They are all found under *.salesforce.com/img/samples/ and are shown here:

Image	File Name
	color_green.gif
	color_red.gif
	color_yellow.gif
	flag_green.gif
	flag_red.gif
	flag_yellow.gif
	light_green.gif
	light_red.gif
	light_yellow.gif
	priority_1.gif
	priority_2.gif
	priority_3.gif
	priority_4.gif
	priority_5.gif
	rating1.gif
	rating2.gif
	rating3.gif
	rating4.gif
	rating5.gif
	stars_000.gif
	stars_100.gif
	stars_200.gif
	stars_300.gif
	stars_400.gif
	stars_500.gif

What can you do with these? Suppose you were using the Account Rating field which has values between 0 and 5. You could provide a visual representation of this value with a custom formula field:

CASE(TEXT(Rating), '5', IMAGE('/img/samples/stars_500.gif', '5 Stars'), 
'4', IMAGE('/img/samples/stars_400.gif', '4 Stars'),
'3', IMAGE('/img/samples/stars_300.gif', '3 Stars'),
'2', IMAGE('/img/samples/stars_200.gif', '2 Stars'), 
'1', IMAGE('/img/samples/stars_100.gif', '1 Star'), IMAGE('/img/samples/stars_000.gif', 'No Stars'))

Which gives us a graphic representation of the field:
