About this task

Data from your records is displayed on your cards using text elements. These elements can display either the label of a field or the value of a field from a record.

In this example, the top three text elements display the values of the State, Number, and Short Description fields. Under these elements, you can see pairs of text elements to display both the label and value of the Opened by and Priority fields. The dotted outlines around these fields are containers used to organize the text.
