In Constellation, adding a custom icon directly into a standard table column header is not supported OOTB. Constellation table headers are generated by the framework, and header content is generally limited to the configured column label and built-in behaviours rather than arbitrary header markup or custom icon injection.

If the goal is to indicate that GenAI processing is completed, I’d recommended to show the status in the column cells instead of the header, e.g. by using a status field, badge, or icon-based value in each row. Pega does support icons in the design system and custom icon registration, but that does not mean every Constellation header area is authorable as a custom icon container in standard view configuration.

If having an icon specifically in the header is a strict UX requirement, this would likely need a custom DX component or deeper front-end extension rather than simple App Studio configuration

Icons no, but the outcome is understanding which were GenAI Processed? For that there are some options:

# **Emojis**

Closest to your ask but not my number 1 recommendation Adding Icon’s are not supported (@RaviChandra’s response above) but emoji’s can be added to text fields.

I have seen this used in both column headers and inside the list of results (using some post processing to prepend the required emoji)

**Conditional Formatting**

In Infinity '25, you can use conditional formatting to highlight things (in an accessible way)

**Grouping**

You could use Grouping of data to group those done by GenAI and those not.

Hope that helps.
