Thanks rajendraongole1 for the reply!

I'm still trying to work some things out. I was experimenting with date tables and came up with the following. In the below example, the Date icon for "Fiscal Year Table" and "Fiscal Year TableX" are different, though I don't think I did anything different when trying to replicate the former. Could you explain why the icons might be different? Thanks.
