There are three user-configurable graphic sets available in CISPro Global for the purpose of indicating specific hazard characteristics of materials on the Hazards tab. They are Pictograms, Storage Compatibilities, and Hazard Graphics.

Pictograms and Storage Compatibilities graphics sets are pre-defined by CISPro Global. You can define your own set of Hazard Graphics to signify a concept that has internal meaning to your users. (See the Graphics topic in the Configuration section of this help system for instructions on defining and modifying a graphics set).
