Add a text card to a board - Anaplan Technical Documentation

Use a text card to add text to a board.

This is useful for providing end users with further information to contextualize their data.

For example, you could explain the relationship between the different cards displayed on a board.

Add a text card

Open the board in designer mode.
In the Add card section of the Cards panel, double-click the Text tile, or drag it onto the board.
By default, the card displays, full-width, at the bottom of the board.

On the text card, click Configure text.
The Card designer screen displays.
Optionally:
- on the Overview tab, enter a title in the Title field.
  A default title generates from the name of the view, but you can overwrite it.
- enter a description of the card in the Description field.
  The text you enter displays when you hover your cursor pointer over the information icon (i) on the published card.
- link the grid card's title to a page from the Link to a page dropdown menu.
  When the page is published, the title is hyperlinked to the page you select
- on the Text tab, enter your text in the Body text field. Once published, this text displays on the text card, as written.
- toggle Display card background to display the card background or to remove it.

Optionally, you can format the style, alignment and color of the text in your text card:

select a text style from the Style drop-down list to format the text as: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Normal, or Instructions
select how you want to align the text from the Alignment dropdown list
select a color for the text from the Color dropdown list.
