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 when 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 on the Global Profile Settings page, 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 can also 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 is displayed.

To set up the hover card fields:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to People > Settings > Global Profile Settings and make sure the hover card fields you want to add have the correct visibility.
  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.
    You can add up to five fields to the hover card.
  4. Drag any of the fields you don't want included off the Hover Card Fields list.
  5. Toggle Show Label to hide or show the field names on the hover card as well as the field values.
    For example, if you want the card to show Department: Manufacturing, keep the Show Label column selected. If you want to just show Manufacturing, clear the check mark.
