Hi Adarsh,
Please find below details related to information cards.
Information Card:
Information cards is a custom objects concept that makes it possible to show additional information with standard form pages, displayed to the user in a separate floating panel. The idea with the concept of information cards is to provide direct access to information that is missing or not immediately available in the standard page layout.
Create information card attribute:
The first step to create information cards is to extend a logical unit with Information Card attributes.
- In IFS Enterprise Explorer, open the Information Cards page in Solution Manager and you can search for the logical unit that corresponds to the application page where you want to add a information card or navigate to the relevant page you want to add a information card and select Custom Objects -> Information Cards from context menu.
- In the Attributes table, add a new record to start the Information Card attribute wizard to configure the Information Card to your liking. For mote details see the sub sections on Read Only and Local Attributes respectively.
- Approve at least one of the attributes and the logical unit.
- Publish the logical unit.
- Optionally add Translations to your Information Card attributes.
Add Information Cards to Application Pages:
- In IFS Enterprise Explorer, open the form page where you want your information card
- For performance reasons, all window layouts are cached by the client. Therefore to make any configuration changes visible in the client, open the context menu on your window, click Custom Objects -> Reload Configuration.
- Click the Information Cards toolbar button to open the Personalize Information Card dialog.
- Add one or more of your Information Card attributes to the fields to be shown section.
- Optionally, additional labels and empty rows can be added among your attributes to increase readability.
- Click OK to save your configuration.

We use them to summarize information on one view that is found in a multitude of other places. For example, on the Master Part, we have a large info card that summarizes the selling price, availability by site (sales part), quantity available (inventory part in stock), and part status and notes. So every user in the company is taught to go to the Master Part first and they can see information from 5 different views just from the Master Part. We also have one on the Customer Order view that uses a custom field that allows us to link customer orders, you can view the main customer order and see the status of all of the various manufacturing orders in other sites. It is meant to be a mini query inside the main form view you are calling it from. Very useful when you identify the other pieces of information that need to be viewed.
