About P4V icons

P4V uses a variety of icons and badges (decorations) to depict Perforce objects and their status. The following table describes commonly-encountered icons.

P4V displays file icons in the the Tree pane and throughout the user interface, with file status indicated as shown in the following table. Note that file icons might be displayed with multiple "badges" (for example, check marks, lock indicators), each indicating an aspect of the file's status. This table does not list all the possible combinations. Note that red badges indicate actions taken by you, and blue badges indicate actions taken by another user. To display a tooltip containing more details about a file's status, hover the mouse pointer over the file.
