Authoritative source explaining FIELDS list icons

Question

Hello,&nbsp;Is there a Microsoft document/link that explains the meanings of different ICONS in FIELDS list in Power BI Desktop?&nbsp;&nbsp;For example, the below is from "Retail Analysis Sample PBIX". The attached screenshots have many different icons in the FIELDS list.&nbsp;1) Sales tables is seen as a calculator icon. What is this? this is not a calculated table.2) Traffic light symbol is supposedly KPIs but I can't find which Microsoft Power BI document describes it.3) District.[DM] --&gt; What is this icon supposed to mean? If these are meant for UNIQUE fileds, what do&nbsp;they actually do?&nbsp;I know some people may guessed the meanings of these and others may have heard them on the grapevine, but, isn't there a standard microsoft source explaining what these are?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;URL below attemps to do this, but only partly. There&nbsp;are no links to further explain meanings of these, and&nbsp;many icons are missing.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-the-report-editor-take-a-tour#what-do-the-field-icons-mean&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;v-lili6-msft,&nbsp;I think it is inappropriate to mark this question as "answered" because it gives a wrong impression that there is an authoritative source explaining FIELDS List icons. I understand that you cited links to community questions and answeres, however, they are not authoritative and are not in one place.&nbsp;When the Power BI team updates the documentation, please let me me know so that I can mark this as "answered".&nbsp;I appreciate your efforts in trying to help.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With the update of the field list, there is an MS Docs article that explains it:&nbsp;Using the Field list in Power BI Desktop (preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

hi,&nbsp;SuraMan
It seems that there is no other&nbsp;official documentation to explian&nbsp;Fields list icons.
But here are some&nbsp;explanations&nbsp;for you as a reference:
1) When you create&nbsp;multiple measures in a table and then hide all the columns of this table. save and reopen the pbix file, and it will
change to this icons.

2)&nbsp;This symbol indicates a KPI which is a calculated measures you could create in Power Pivot or SQL Server Analysis Service.&nbsp; When you import the data to the Power BI Desktop, it may look like a Traffic Signal indicator.
