Hello all,
First of all thank you all the CPians that answered months ago a related question. I've been working 14 to 16 hours a day and have not been able to answer you all, but thanks for your suggestions and messages! ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
I've reduced the choice of monitors to those two:
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-30-usb-c-hub-monitor-u3023e/apd/210-bdsn/monitors-monitor-accessories[^]
Dell UltraSharp 27 Inch Thunderbolt™ 4 Hub Monitor - U2724DE | Dell USA[^]
In both cases I'd get two of them.
This said, I own a Thinkpad P14s Gen 2 with USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (NO THUNDERBOLT). Would both monitors work with that laptop?
Would it be possible to daisy chain the two monitors using USB C or Display Port?
Nowadays I have two QHD monitors connected to a dock station that works using that USB C 3.2 Gen 2 connector and it works well... but I am tired of the dock failures (I must reconnect both displays every time I get into the office).
As always thank you in advance!

We have an internal web-based dashboard that shows the current or last state of most of our automation apps and their tasks. Each app is listed and color-coded to indicate its state: green for okay/information only, yellow for an error, red for a critical error. I want to add symbols to aid in quickly determining these states without resorting to colors for any folks with a color vision deficiency.
Is there a standard or widely used set of symbols that represent those three states? If not, what symbols would you suggest?
Edit: If only I could spell 'state'...

Those could work. Hmm...

Good. No symbol
Ill. Yellow warning triangle ⚠️
Terminal. red X (in a circle or not)❌

Thanks. I was considering the warning triangle for errors, and debating the use of either a fire or a fire extinguisher for criticals. Currently no symbol means the app hasn't reported anything.

You might use an XXX for no communications, and a picture of a dumpster fire for Critical...

I don't know if there is a standard but here's what I have used in the past :
check mark = OK
exclamation = Error
big X = Critical Error
I used these because there are icons in a variety of styles and sizes available for all of them, such as for the message boxes in windows.

Thanks. Those are also available in various HTML character sets which are easier to use than image icons. I'm using the check mark elsewhere, so I might need to find an alternative for one case.

Um, how about words? In the past icons used to make sense, but now they are often times just a symbol that no one can initially decipher (hence your question).

The dashboard already lists the typically long app names of which there are currently about 15; I think more words would clutter it up and take more mental effort to see the status words.

I'd look at MesageBox icons, they're universal and most people get the meaning.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

And you can allow the user to select the colors/background/etc. For extra points.
