The small card view of each custom object type can be configured to show or hide properties on the card. You can decide exactly which properties are displayed and in which order they appear.

You can set a default card for the object type, or overwrite that layout for one view or query.

Default card for the object type

To set the default card, go to Settings > Object Type > select your object type > Configuration > Card view and linking.

You can also open object type settings from the three-dot menu (...) on any object of that type.

The title is always on the small card. You can show or hide any other property. Vote here if you would like to hide the title. That is not planned right now.

Customize a single view or query

Open the customize menu in the top right of the view or query. Use default uses the layout from the object type settings. You can overwrite that with a card layout for this view or query. Card view is in that menu.

On a task or a daily note, Collections is not in the list of card properties.

Reusing the object type default elsewhere

When you use the object type default, that layout applies across the wall view and gallery view for that type, and on the small card when an item is embedded in a page.

The gallery will show all selected properties even if they are empty, whereas the wall view hides those properties until they are filled, keeping the view more compact.

Gallery view displays all selected properties, even when they are empty

Wall view hides empty properties

Most properties are editable directly on the small card, which allows you to quickly fill out dates or object select properties. However, number, Content, and text properties cannot be edited on the small card.

FAQs

Why can’t I see card view customization options? You are probably using a basic object type (such as page or weblink). Their small cards cannot be customized. Only custom object types support small card customization.
