Using the Template Creator, you can add different fields to the card and change the dimensions of the added field and the card itself.

Security and access

Only a user with a minimum Box admin security role can access and manage the Box configuration.

To edit the Card Views, go to Box configuration > Risks type module (Risks is the default module name used) > Card Views.

This configuration page will not be visible if the Risks type module is deactivated or the inheritance mode is set to "Inherited only."

Adding new Card Views

Click the  "Add new Card View" button to add a new layout and fill in the fields marked with an asterisk. Set the visibility to public, so other users will be able to select the view from the Card View drop-down.

Active Card View

Inheritance mode

The Card Views can be inherited by the sub-level Boxes when the Inheritance mode is set to "Inherited only" or "Own with inherited" in the Box type configuration. This way, every time you create new views or edit the existing ones, all available view will be updated in the sub-level Boxes as well.
