Display Cards define a visual representation of a record in a nicely formatted way. They are essential in xDM applications to make the user experience more intuitive and user-friendly. This article explains what is a Display Card composed of, and how display cards are used in the application.
| Note: Display cards are automatically created by the Create Application Components wizard. |
Display Cards Composition
Display Cards are defined directly within each entity.
You will find 4 major elements on Display Cards :
- Primary Text Expression: main title used every time the Display Card is referenced
- Secondary Text Expression: subtitle optionally used to add some more information about the reference
- Primary Image: picture used for grids.
- Avatar: picture used in a round shape for lists.
For more information about the display card properties, please refer to the documentation.

More generally, you will be able to define the display card used in the Display properties menu from each user interface element.
