The multi-row card component displays multiple field values from a single record in a compact labelled card. Unlike the KPI card (which is focused on one metric), the multi-row card is designed to show a rich snapshot of a single blueprint row — a project, a risk, a person, or any single record with several important attributes.
When to use
- Key project summary card (project name, contract value, current period, status, owner).
- Top-risk card (risk title, probability, impact, owner, target close date).
- Milestone card (milestone name, planned date, actual date, status, narrative).
- Supplier or subcontractor profile card.
Adding the component
- Open the report output in the Output Designer.
- Click + Insert → Multi-Row Card.

- In the Data tab, bind a section and configure card rows.
