What is a Card?
Before getting into the configuration, it is important to explain that Cards are small summaries for any of your Apps. Each card contains relevant information about them. But they don't need to stay this way. You can completely customize the information they show to suit your needs.
Where are Cards Used?
Your card configuration will show in every view where Cards can be found. The Rolodex & Board Views are perfect examples, you will also notice the Cards in the Related List on the right side of the screen and in the mobile app.
Cards are smart, as they will adjust their size to include only the information available for each one of your Records. And the best part of it all is that they look exactly the same across all your views in the system.
Navigate to Card Configuration
Open the menu and go to 'Admin Settings' to display the available options, then click App Setup to display even more options. Then select your desired app and click on 'Card Configuration'. You can also use the search function to get there faster, just start typing 'Card Configuration'.
Customize your Card Configuration
If you need to see different pieces of information for each of your Apps your best option is to customize the Cards.
To edit the configuration, you can switch the currently shown fields for any of the available ones when you click on them. There are a bunch of different options for you here: Add a Cover image and show it as a Thumbnail or in Landscape. Select the most important fields for you in the Card Body and decide if you want to show additional information in the Card Footer.
You will see a preview of your Card on the right side of the screen and it will show you in real-time all the changes you make to the Card. Once you are done selecting your field, click the 'Save' button.
Now that you know that the Cards are completely customizable you can get the most relevant information for you condensed in a simple yet powerful card!
