Adding Icons to charts

I used the previous facility in AS to set the relevant census flag and then added a series of conditions in the Diagram Options/Boxes/Record Flag to display the correct icon.
Now the facility is no longer available in AS, I browsed the AS forum and there was a post mentioning a series of 7 expressions in the Knowledge Base to set the census flags. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it.
Can someone point me to it please or give me a steer on how to do it.
Thanks

there is a section headed 'Worked Examples' on this page:
Using Icons
In particular it gives this example for a census:
%INDI.CENS[year=1901]% will match a Census Event with a Date in 1901.
However you may need to refine this further if you have censuses for different countries in the same year.

FYI: I tried searching for that help and found it very difficult to find. It is going to be a popular topic.
Searching with the word icon or words box icons or diagram icons did not get anywhere.
Only a search for diagram box icons listed Using Icons article.

KnowledgeBase home page under
Diagrams and Charts and chose >
All and
Using Icons is listed there
