About this task

The anatomy of a text card is as follows:

Card tooltip

A tooltip provides extra details about the data that is displayed on the card.

A field provided to add text.

Footer link

A clickable field or link with a label, for example, View all.

You can use the Card builder to create a text card.

1. From the navigation menu, click Card builder.
2. Click New card.

On the General tab, define the card:

3. Assign a name to the card.
   The card is referred to by its name in the card library.
4. Select the card type.
   Select Text as the type of card.

On the Data tab, add data to the card:

5. Optional: You can use source editor to configure the size, header, footer, and data displayed on your card. To edit the card source, click Edit source icon.
   Source editor allows you to copy the card's data and style configurations that you can duplicate for other cards.
   Note: Any modifications made to this code overwrite the configurations made on the Style and Data tabs of the card editor.

On the Style tab, define the style of the card:

7. In Dimensions, increase the width and height of the card.
8. In Header, modify the card title.
9. Expand Footer and set Footer link to on and assign a label and enter a page ID.

   You can add a page ID in the field or you can select a page from the library. To select a page, click Select from libaray. Alternatively, you can add an external link to the footer. When clicked, this link opens in a new tab.

   Note: Some pages are flagged with This page requires context. warning. That means these pages require context variables to render content correctly on the page and these variables are missing in the page context. To add page context variables, see Configuring page context variables.

   After you select the page, you can add template variables to make the page content dynamic. That means you can use the same page multiple times with customized content according to the variables.
