Fields on Front of Cards

Card fields show record data directly on cards in the Board view. Each database has its own card settings. Every Board view of the database uses them.

Open the card settings

1. Open Workspace Settings.
2. Select Databases at the top of the side navigation.
3. In Database, choose the database.
4. Select Card Interface.

The page shows Available Fields on the left and Card Fields on the right. Preview shows an example card. Blue saves each change immediately.

Add a field

1. Find the field in Available Fields. The list contains the fields that are added to the database.
2. Optional: Enter a field name in Filter fields… to filter the list.
3. Select the field. Blue adds it to the end of Card Fields.

Remove a field

1. Find the field in Card Fields.
2. Select × next to the field. Blue moves it back to Available Fields.

Change the field order

In Card Fields, select ↑ or ↓ next to a field to move it up or down.

Reset the card fields

Select Reset in Card Fields. Blue replaces the configuration with the first six fields of the database.

Card size

Under Card Size, select one option:

• Use account default: Each person sees the card size from their own settings.
• Compact: Smaller cards for all users of this database.
• Normal: Standard cards for all users of this database.

Cover images

Under Cover, select Show cover image to show a cover on the cards. Then select Cover or Contain for the image fit. See Cover images.

What a card shows

• The record name is always at the top of the card.
• The comment count appears when the record has comments.
• A configured field appears only when the record has a value in it.

Adding more fields makes each card taller. Put the most important fields first, and include only the fields needed to identify records.

Example configurations include deal value, stage, and close date for sales records. Other examples include priority and severity for bugs, publishing details for content, and onboarding progress for new employees.
