Cards Overview

Content Designers are encouraged to include visuals on the card front whenever possible.

Card Fronts: Each card should have a title describing the content on the back of the card. It is best practice to not exceed

140 characters (including spaces) for the card title. The text will dynamically reduce in size to fit on the front of the Card.

Card Backs: While the text copy on the back of the card is scrollable, it is not recommended to exceed 4,000 characters

including spaces. For best practice, we recommended keeping copy under 3,000 characters including spaces.

Different Card Type Templates

Displayed below are available Card types with their descriptions. It is important to know that card types have some built-in

formatting features and a WYSIWYG that helps in the creation of content.

These Card templates are designed with a singular action feature in mind, e.g., video, question, etc.

When you click the Create Card button, you will be shown this menu to choose your template from. Simply click on the one

you would like to build, and you will be taken to its editing screen.

Card Front Features:

The front of the Card's options and features are the same for each of the templates.

Fill entire front: You can choose for your image to fill up the entire front. This is the full-bleed option.
You must check this box first before uploading your full-bleed image. The size for this image is 700px X 1133px.
- If you choose not to check this option, the default image size is 700px X 438px. This is referred to as the
  golden image, as its size is determined by the golden ratio.
Use circular mask on card front: You may choose to crop your image in a circle. This will automatically create a
pre-determined circle from the center of your image.
Select Image: This will open up a window for you to locate an image from your computer. *More detail below.
Create Image: You can create a basic graphic for the front (text, shapes, and icons). **More detail below.
Title: This is the area to add your text for the front of the Card. Keep in mind that the text does size dynamically
depending on how many characters there are, i.e., the more text, the smaller the size will be. The best practice is
to stay around 140 characters. A basic WYSIWYG is provided for some small editing. You can also choose to show
the title at the top of the back of the Card.

*Select Image Option

Choosing this option will allow you to upload an image from your computer. The best practice is to

have the image sized at the recommended aspect ratios.

When you upload your image, you will have the opportunity to crop it. You will only need to crop if

your image is not in the recommended aspect ratio. The crop is set to the aspect ratios.

Once uploaded, you have the option to add simple graphics and text as an overlay. To do so, click
on

the edit icon at the top right of the image.

You will be taken to an image editor screen.

The bottom tool features include: Shape, Filter, Text, Flip, Draw, Icon, Mask, and Rotate
Send Item: Move graphics/fonts above or below other objects
Apply Flat Background: This option will overlay a solid color on your image. This option is not recommended
when you have an image as the background.
Select Font: You can choose different fonts.

You will not be able to edit your image once it has been saved

**Create Image Option

When you choose this option, you will be taken to the editor screen.

In the editor screen, you have the ability to create simple graphics and add text.

The bottom tool features include: Shape, Filter, Text, Flip, Draw, Icon, Mask, and Rotate
Send Item: Move graphics/fonts above or below other objects
Apply Flat Background: This option will overlay a solid color on your image.

Admin General Card Features:

When you are in the Card editor screen, you will notice quite a few options on the far right side of the screen. Below are these options listed out and detailed so you can get familiar with them. Feel free to experiment with them when creating your Cards.

Breadcrumb: This is located at the very top left of the screen. You are able to go back to the Deck editor screen.
Preview in Emulator: This is located at the very top right of the screen. This button will launch a simulated version of
the app.
Previous Card: This is located at the very top right of the screen. This will navigate to the previous Card in the Deck.
Next Card: This is located at the very top right of the screen. This will navigate to the nextCard in the Deck.
Active: This toggle will visually turn the Card on/off.
Dark mode: This changes the Card's background to a dark grey and inverses the font colors. Note: if you have
imagery on the back of a dark mode card, you will need to make sure the image's background matches, or is a
transparent .png.
Exclude from Index: Toggling this on will not show the Card in the Index Card. This can be useful if you decide to
make a divider Card and do not need it to be listed in the index.
Show Front Only: Activating this will prevent the Card from flipping.
Mark as new: Adds a "new" flag on the front of the Card, as well as highlights the Card in the index.
Search/Create a connection: Every Card needs a connection to be visible. This is where you can search for existing connections. Best practices are to search for existing Connections before having to create a new one.
Add/Create a Deck: Typically you should never need to create or search for a Deck if you follow the top-down
approach of building content. However, if you have created a Card by itself, it will need to live within a Deck.
Best practices are to add to an existing Deck before having to create a new one.
Tags: You can manually add a tag to a Card one at a time, or choose the Auto-tag option to add multiple AI tags,
powered by Watson. Tags help with the search. The best practice is to use the Meduim Auto-tag feature.
Card statistics: We provide you with data about the Card; its template type, owner, when it was created, and last
updated.
View admin audit: See all activity from admins who have worked on the Card.
This is a special permission for Super-Admin.
Copy link for App: Copies a direct link to the Card onto your clipboard. You can then add that link to email
communications or however, you would like to share the link. This is a special permission for Super-Admin.
Duplicate Card: Creates a copy of the Card. You will also be able to carry over the connection from the original Card.
Delete Card: You do have the opportunity to delete Cards, however, you will need to remove any and all connections
and remove the Deck first.

Specific Card Type Features

We will dive into each Card template and their specific features. The focus will be on the back of the
