This PR has a conventional title that includes the implementation ticket number.
This follows the existing OpenMRS home dashboard icon pattern; no new design is introduced.
The change is validated by the repository pre-push checks.
Summary
Adds standard OpenMRS icons to the existing native home dashboard links for Appointments, Service queues, Patient lists, and Wards. This lets distributions use the upstream links directly without registering replacement links solely to provide iconography.
The icons are added through each app’s existing dashboardMeta object:
Appointments: omrs-icon-calendar
Service queues: omrs-icon-message-queue
Patient lists: omrs-icon-group
Wards: omrs-icon-hospital-bed
Screenshots
Not attached. This declarative metadata change uses the existing DashboardExtension rendering and standard OpenMRS icons without changing layout or interaction.

Thanks for the good work @ekemboi29 ,
Clean and minimal — nice use of the existing framework icon prop. Two small asks:
Could you add a screenshot showing the icons rendering on the home page?
Should appointmentCalendarDashboardMeta also get an icon, or is it not a home link?
Hey @ekemboi29 Really nice work here. This is exactly the kind of change that makes it cool like ..small, focused, and solves a real problem.
I like how you thought this through. Adding the icons declaratively means distributions can actually use these out-of-the-box now without having to override them, and that's genuinely useful. The icon choices make sense too calendar for appointments, a queue icon for service queues, that kind of thing just works.
Also the consistency across all four modules is perfect, ..no overthinking, just a solid improvement to the codebase.
