Storage Compatibility and Custom Hazard Graphics are managed on the Configure Graphics page, accessed via the Graphics link on the System page. The two types are created via a single process, with the single difference being the specification of a Type, which can be set to either Hazard Graphics or Storage Compatibilities.
