Setting up Certinia Card Panels

The FDN Cards Panel component enables you to add a single component containing multiple highlight and KPI cards to an object's Lightning record page.

You can clone and rename existing component configurations in the Cards Panel Configuration Builder. You can also delete your own configurations. You must have the Certinia Configuration Builders permission set assigned to you to use the Cards Panel Configuration Builder.

The configurations that you create in the component builder are displayed in a list in the Lightning App Builder for the component.

To set up a cards panel configuration:

  1. From the App Launcher, select Cards Panel Configuration Builder.

    In the Cards Panel Configuration Builder, existing card panel configurations are displayed on the left and the Cards Panel configuration preview pane on the right.

  2. To create a configuration, click New. The New Configuration window opens.
  3. Enter a unique label for the panel. This is displayed in the My Configurations list and you can select this configuration when adding the component to the record page.

    When you click outside this field, the API Name field is populated.

  4. [Optional] Edit the API name. This must be a unique name.
    Note: The combined character limit of the Prefix and API Name fields is 40 characters.
  5. Click Save. The panel's configuration pane opens.
  6. Select an object that the cards display metrics for.
  7. Click Add Card in the empty card. The Add Card window opens.
  8. Select the type of card to add. The relevant card configuration window opens.
  9. Set up the card. See the related topics for information on how to set up each card component.
    Note: You can set dynamic thresholds for Highlight cards that use number and currency fields. This compares the card's value against a percentage of a reference field's value, and then applies the relevant threshold color. This is not available for KPI cards in the panel, nor any standalone cards of any type.
  10. To add more cards, either:
    • Clicking Add Card in the empty card.
    • Click between the cards.
  11. [Optional] To reorder cards, drag a card to a new location in the panel.
  12. [Optional] To edit a card, hover over the card and click Edit, or double-click the card.
  13. [Optional] To delete a card, hover over the card and click Delete.
  14. Click Save when you have completed the configuration of your panel.
