The icons you see in MainBoss are often constructed by combining the icons above.
For example, a demand for an item on a work order combines the demand icon with the item icon.
In addition, many icons may have a red X written over them if they refer to "hidden"
records (e.g. records that have been deleted).
For example, a reference to an employee record may have a red X on the Employee icon
if the original employee record has been deleted.
Icons may also be "struck-out" with a red line across them if the associated
text comes from a hidden record that is not the "main" record associated with
the icon; for example, an Employee icon may be struck-out if the associated
text is the employee's name and if the Contact record that gives the
employee's name has been hidden (deleted).
