Use different card types to enhance the way in which users consume data.
For example, use a KPI card to emphasize an important figure; or use a grid card to display sales figures over time.
A card is an interactive component that page builders can add to a page.
Boards consist entirely of cards, which can be rearranged and resized.
On worksheets, cards display in the Insights panel on the right of the screen.
Anaplan's mobile app supports the use of most card types. Exceptions are highlighted below. For more information on how cards are used on the mobile app, see Cards on mobile.
Action card
Use an action card to display a set of actions that enable users to complete a business goal.
Each action displays as an action button on the card. When the action button is clicked, a pop-up window displays the actions a user can trigger.

In the example image, the card may contain three buttons to complete a process: one to import accounts, one to add a new account, and one to export the updated list of accounts.

Chart card

Note: Anaplan's mobile app does not support gantt, scatter plot, and bubble charts.
Field card
Use a field card to publish one or more line items to a page.
Field cards focus attention on selected line items. If the line item is editable, the data can be changed. The changes are reflected throughout the app, and any other app that is linked to the same model.

When a new value is entered, the data is updated instantly. The change is reflected in all places the value displays or where it's used in a calculation. Charts are also updated in real-time along with any conditional formatting that may be in use.

Grid card
Grid cards display data directly from a module.

Grids help present the underlying data in modules to end users for planning and analysis.
Note: If the main component you want to present on a page is a grid, use a worksheet.
