Watch this video for an example of how to create Custom Data and Custom Cards for a Case.

Once you have created you custom fields you can link them to a Custom Card for subsequent displaying in a Ticket / Case or Action Screen. Cards can be displayed as part of the main section for Cases, Tickets and Actions, and as a side panel.

* Side Panel card displays between the Contacts card and the Files card.
* Main Panel card appears:
  * Ticket: After the Ttimeline card.
  * Case: After the Timeline / Action display card.
  * Action: After the Checklist card.

You can add a single card to the Main / Side panel section for a Case / Ticket / Action instance in Builder. Neither is mandatory.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: The same card should not be added in both locations and the same field should not be referenced in two cards showing on the same Ticket / Case / Action.
{% endhint %}

Custom Card definition for a Ticket is done at the header level rather than per Ticket category. Access the card definitions for a Ticket via the settings toolbar icon:

Note that for Tickets you can also define a Smart Card to be used for Self Service Ticket submissions (these much be created separately from the smart cards defined for Work Manager Work Items).
