By default, the menu icon will be the same as the GravityKit menu:

![Dashboard menu with items: Forms, GravityKit, Internal Views, Supplier Directory, Internal Applications](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-Q0TFKrZjBV.png)
To modify the icon, you can use the `gk/gravityview/dashboard-views/admin-menu/icon-url` filter, like so:
```
add_filter( 'gk/gravityview/dashboard-views/admin-menu/icon-url', function( $icon_url ) { 
  return 'dashicons-privacy';
} );
```

```
add_filter( 'gk/gravityview/dashboard-views/admin-menu/icon-url', function( $icon_url ) { 
  return 'dashicons-privacy';
} );
```

This will update the menu to use the Dashicons 'Privacy' icon.

The filter allows the same values as the `add_menu_page()` function in WordPress. [See the add\_menu\_page() documentation](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_menu_page/) for more information.
