Fields on Front of Cards

Overview

Board cards display key information about your records directly on the card surface, allowing you to scan through your work without opening each record. The Card Fields configuration lets you control exactly which fields appear on your cards and in what order.

By default, cards show essential fields like title, due date, assignees, and tags. You can customize this to include custom fields, time tracking, and other metadata that matters most to your workflow.

Field Visibility

Fields only appear on cards when they have data. For example:

Comments only shows when commentCount > 0
Checklist only shows when the record has checklist items
Due Date only shows when a due date is set
Tags only shows when tags are assigned

This keeps cards clean and focused on relevant information.

Use Cases

Sales Pipeline — Display deal value (Currency field), stage (Single Select), and close date on opportunity cards.

Bug Tracking — Show priority (Star Rating), severity (Single Select), and reporter on issue cards.

Content Calendar — Display publish date, content type, and author directly on content cards.

HR Onboarding — Show start date, department, and completion progress for onboarding tasks.

Tips

Prioritize scannable data: Put the most important fields near the top
Use custom fields wisely: Only add custom fields that help differentiate cards at a glance
Consider card density: More fields mean taller cards — find the right balance for your workflow
Combine with cover images: Use Cover Images alongside card fields for visual recognition
