About the search cards

Enrich the search cards by adding the most important custom metadata fields in the search cards. This gives users important context about the resource as they browse through the resource lists. You can add freeform fields, select fields, date fields, but not Relationships as fields.

Elevate your search experience by enriching the search cards with the most important custom metadata fields. This enhancement provides users with crucial context about each resource while browsing through resource lists, making navigation and discovery more intuitive and efficient. You can incorporate various field types, including freeform fields, select fields, and date fields. However, please note that relationship fields cannot be added as part of this customization.

Use this feature to ensure that key information is readily accessible at a glance, significantly improving user engagement and resource management, by tailoring the user experience to meet specific needs, whether it's displaying project status, important dates, or any other critical metadata.
