Default Card View Always Show Field Labels Caret Toggle

Bob Bellamy

How can I force Card View to always show the field labels associated with data on all cards?  I don't want to require users to click on the little caret symbol that toggles labels to display on each card... I want all field labels to always show on all cards all the time.

Hi,

I'm not sure how many columns/fields are in your sheet, so this answer may not completely meet your needs. You can display up to 10 fields in a card. To do this, start in Card View and do the following:

1. Click the Fields button in the upper-right corner of Smartsheet.
2. Check or uncheck field names that you want to display on cards.

You'll find more information about working with fields and cards in the help article "Card View: Creating, Editing, and Sharing Cards."

Thanks Gwyneth.  I'm able to select the fields of interest, but it's the associated labels that I want to always have displayed together with the data.  So far as I can tell, the only way to display the labels is by toggling the caret symbol on each card... but if you leave the Card View then return later, you again have to toggle the caret on each card to see the labels.  Screenshot attached to illustrate.

Oh! I understand now. The best I can offer you right now is Spacebar (expand or collapse card) to save some scrolling/clicking time!

Please do open an Enhancement Request (see the Quick links section here in Community) if this is a request that would save you some time.

I would also like this feature.  It would make the card view much more useful if I could show more information at a glance and collapse/expand all as needed.  Currently, users can see the cards but have no idea what the data means because the labels are hidden by default, and can only be revealed one card at a time.

Has the Enhancement Request already been submitted?

Did this get raised as an enhancement request? We are using card view a lot now for Kanban and expanded view is a must.

We too would like to see the ability to expand all fields in the card view without having to click the caret symbol each time.  Functionality that would allow us to expand all (similar to that in the grid view at the column level) would be very helpful.  Has this been raised on an enhancement request?

I'd like the expanded view as well.
