Icons under Items - Machines

[michael_stefani]

So in vRA6 I'm pretty sure the icons under the machines tab matched the icons you selected in the catalog.  In vRA7 I noticed that my deployments show the correct icon (Windows vs Linux), but under Machines I see that generic green and yellow icon.  Is that just me or is everyone seeing the same?  Anyone know of a way to change that so the machines show the appropriate icon?

That icon just denotes the type of machine, vSphere in that case. If you had a blueprint that contained an AWS EC2 instance, the icon would reflect that machine type.

That makes a little more sense.  So only the deployment tab shows the icon based on the catalog item.  Machines shows the icon based on the type of resource (vSphere, AWS, etc.).

Correct, because it's entirely possible (and necessary in some cases) where a single deployment encompasses vSphere and public cloud machines of some sort along with networking and maybe XaaS components. All receive a different icon to signify to the user the pieces and parts included in a given catalog item.
