14. Visuals and Their Formatting
14.14 Card, Card (new) and Multi-row Card
| Visual | Use for | Field wells |
|---|---|---|
| Card | One big KPI number | Fields |
| Card (new) | One or several KPIs in one visual, with reference labels and images | Data (one or more measures) and options depending on version |
| Multi-row card | Several values listed per category (e.g. per city) | Fields |
Examples: Card = Total Sales (₹). Card (new) = Total Orders, AOV, Avg Delivery Time and Cancellation Rate side by side, with a reference label "vs last month" under each. Multi-row card = City, Total Orders, AOV.
Key formatting: Callout value (font, size, colour, Display units Auto/Thousands/Millions, decimal places), Category label (on/off, text), for Card (new): Layout (arrangement, cards per row), Callout values, Reference labels (title, value, detail), Cards (background, border, accent bar), Image. Every colour has an fx button for conditional formatting (Module 20).
Card label trick
Turn off the Category label and use the General › Title instead, with fx for a dynamic title (Module 20.2).
