Selecting Fields for Hover Cards

You can decide which of the short fields from people's profiles are displayed on the cards that are shown you hover over a person's name or avatar in the community.

Fastpath: Admin Console > People > Settings > Hover Card Settings
Your hover card fields are a subset of the Profile Fields you have defined in People > Settings > Profile Settings, and the visibility of each field is determined by what you've defined in Profile Settings. You can select up to five fields to be displayed on the hover card. The following field types can't be displayed on the hover card:
  • Fields with the Large Text format (like Bio)
  • Fields that are based on a multi-select option
You can change the order of the fields on the card from top to bottom by dragging and dropping. If your community is integrated with Lync or Webex, you'll see the associated links in a fixed location on the card. You also won't be able to move some other information, such as status levels and points.

Note that if a field you selected for the hover card does not contain any information, neither the field nor its label will be displayed.

To set the hover card fields:

  1. Make sure the hover card fields you want have the correct visibility set in People > Settings > Profile Settings.
  2. Go to People > Settings > Hover Card Settings.
  3. Drag fields you want included on the hover card view from Available Fields to Hover Card Fields. Drag any of the fields you don't want included off the Hover Card Fields list.
  4. Decide if you want the field names to show on the hover card as well as the field values. You can do this by toggling Show Label on and off. For example, if you want to the card to show Department: Manufacturing, keep the Show Label column checked, which is the default. If you want to just show Manufacturing, click the check mark in the Show Label column next to the Department field to remove it.
