Icons and symbols
In the event definition editor, icons are images used to invoke actions. Symbols, by comparison, are images that simply represent workbench elements and they are not used to invoke actions.
For example, you can add a property to an event definition by clicking the Add Property icon 
. However, you cannot perform any action by clicking
the parent property symbol 
.
The event definition editor icons and symbols are described in the following table:
