A favicon (short for Favorite icon), also known as a shortcut icon, Web site icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon, is a file containing one or more small icons, most commonly 16×16 pixels, associated with a particular Web site or Web page. A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a Web site (or Web page) by several means, and graphical web browsers will then make use of it. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar (sometimes in the history as well) and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page's favicon next to the page's title on the tab, and site-specific browsers use the favicon as desktop icon.

Many graphics applications are able to save to the ICO format required for favicon.ico creation, as well as a number of online applications, such as http://www.favicon.cc/
Once you have created your favicon, you can add it to your iEBMS web pages, however you will need to have access to the web server where your iEBMS is installed.
There are a number of ways to add the favicon, although this is the most common method:
- Name your favicon file as 'favicon.ico'
- Go to your root folder of your iEBMS website
- Copy your 'favicon.ico' file to the root folder of your iEBMS website
- Optionally, add the following code to your iEBMS Structure page, within the <head /> section:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico" />
Now when a user visits your iEBMS pages your favicon should be visible.
If your iEBMS is hosted by Enterprise and you do not have access to the root folder of your iEBMS website, please contact Momentus Support Services for further assistance.

Are the steps the same for a v20 favicon.ico? Just add the file to the root of the v20 installation?

Hello Jason,
The steps described here should work for v20 as well. If you look into your v20 files at the root folder, you will probably see a favicon.ico file already in there. This is the default icon file for the entire v20 Ungerboeck application. You will also find other favicon.ico on different application folders throughout the Ungerboeck site, which lets you set a default icon for different client facing applications without having to replace the main Ungerboeck icon.
Let us know if this information is useful and please share your experiences if you try this on your local v20 installation.
