Explanation

Information Cards can be used to view additional information in IFS Applications pages. Using Information Cards make information more accessible and can reduce the number of mouse clicks it takes to find the information you need. For example, on the Customer Orders page you can create an information card with Delivery Terms, Payment Terms or any other information related to customer order. When viewing the Information card you don't need to go to tabs or other pages to find it.

There are some options to change the layout of the Information Card, change font and add empty rows. The changes you make are personal and stored in your user profile.

In order to view an Information Card is must be configured, read about Configure Information Card.
