# Enabling Icons to show in a Grid

Xyicon Users

Including xyicons and catalog items as icons in a **view** can be a great way to visually represent assets within a **grid**. This approach can be particularly useful when searching for a specific asset since users often have to scroll through a list and read off the attributes of each xyicon or use the search bar to find a unique identifier for the asset.

## Before you Begin

Make sure you have permission to see Catalog Items in the **Catalog Panel**. User permissions are managed by your organization's Xyicon Administrator.
