Reference the FontAwesome 5 icon codes from https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&m=free .

You can also view the FontAwesome icon codes names (example "fa-arrow-up") in the CSS source files in your Joget DX "[Joget folder]\apache-tomcat-8.5.41\webapps\jw\js\fontawesome5\css\" folder to know which icons are supported.

Add Your Own Fontawesome Library

You can add your own FontAwesome library into your app if you need a version that is newer than currently available in Joget DX, using the following syntax in Userview Custom Header (change the href="" url accordingly).
