## Before you begin

   The Mobile App Builder opens in a new browser tab and displays the application scope selection screen.
2. Search for the application scope you are working in and then select the name of the application scope.  
   The Mobile App Builder categories home screen displays.
3. Select the Cards \& icons category, and then select New.
4. In the Create a card or icon dialog box, select Icon, and then select Continue.
5. In the Icon form, enter a Name for the icon.  
   Make sure you choose a name that makes it easy to identify the icon.
6. From the Type drop-down list, select User.
7. In the Set appearance section, enter the following information in the Style and Value fields to configure the user icon.  
   {#config-user-type-icons__table_r1r_cdp_vwb__entry__2}

   | Style | Value |
   |-|-|

   [ ]

   {#config-user-type-icons__table_r1r_cdp_vwb}
8. Select Save.

## What to do next

To use the user type icon, you must configure a header function in the launcher screen that enables users to navigate to an employee profile. For more information, see [Configure a launcher screen header](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/swTgG0JEg5DSRFM5vhmkbA "Create a launcher screen header to define how the title of the screen appears.").
