Specify Attributes for the Object Card

In the portal, the names of directory objects are displayed as links. When a user hovers the mouse over this link, a card is displayed, showcasing information about the object. For a user object, for example, the card displays the name, email address and phone number. It is as:

usercard

For each object type, you can specify a different set of attributes to display on this card. For a group, the card is as:

groupcard

Notice that the card has three sections, namely:

  • Header - The card template allows for four attributes to be specified for display in the header. When a specified attribute does not contain a value, NA is displayed on the card.
  • Body - You can specify any number of attributes for this section. When you do not specify any attribute, this section is not displayed.
  • Footer - This section has the Add To Contact and Send An Email buttons. You can choose whether you want to display these buttons on the card or not.
