Cards

Custom cards allow for the viewing of external websites on Employee, Customer, Contact, Assignment, and/or Job Order records in Beyond.


Creating Cards

Begin by navigating to Beyond > B Menu > System Settings > Content > Cards.

The "Content" page will open, showing all the custom cards that have been created:

To create a custom card, select the "+ New Card" option at the top right to open the "New Card" window:

Within the "New Card" window, you will be able to add the following:

  • Hierarchy: The Hierarchy level the new card is set to.
  • Assign to Record Type: The Record Type (Employee, Customer, Contact, Assignment, or Job Order) this card can be added to.

  • Size: Choose whether the card will be either small or large.

*Note* The "URL Template Fields" are able to be used by TempWorks Integration Partners, including Data Frenzy.

Therefore, unless the fields are being added to utilize services provided by TempWorks Integration Partners, it is recommended that these fields are not used.

Adding the URL Template Fields into a standard URL will cause the card to not display information.

Enter the information within the required fields. For this example, we will be adding the TempWorks homepage as a card on an Employee record:

Once the required fields have been populated, select one of the following options from the "Save" dropdown:

  • Save: This will save the card as a draft.
  • Publish: This will publish the card to be used on the Record Type selected.

*Note* As shown within the "New Card" window:

  • Once a card has been published, it can only be edited or deleted.
  • If saving as a draft, this can be previewed on your Visifile before publishing.

Once saved or published, the card will be shown within the "Content" page:


Utilizing Cards

Once the card has been published, navigate to the Record Type (Employee, Customer, Contact, Assignment, or Job Order) the card was setup for. For our example, this is the Employee record:

Once on the Employee Visifile, select the  ("Edit Layout") button at the top right. This is where the card will be added:

*Note* Cards will need to be added on a per-record basis.

If you would like the card to show for all records related to that Record Type, the card(s) will need to be added to a new page for that respective Record Type.

Navigate to the bottom of the editing window and select the "+" to add a new card:

Find the new card within the "Add Card" window, select it, and select "Add (1 Selected)":

Once the card has been added to the Employees Visifile, you can click and drag the card to the position you want it to appear. Once it is in the intended location, select "Save":

Upon saving, the new card will appear within the Employees Visifile:

*Note* The adding and viewing of cards on a Record Type in Beyond can be further controlled by Advanced Security Permissions.
