Real-Time Customer Profile detail customization profile-detail-customization

Within the Adobe Experience Platform user interface, you can view and interact with Real-Time Customer Profile data in the form of customer profiles. The profile information displayed in the UI has been merged together from multiple profile fragments to form a single view of each individual customer. This includes details such as basic attributes, linked identities, and channel preferences. The default fields shown in profiles can also be changed at an organizational level to display preferred Profile attributes. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for customizing the way in which Profile data is displayed within the Platform UI.

For a complete guide to the Profiles UI, please visit the Profile UI guide.

Reorder and resize cards reorder-and-resize-cards

From the Detail tab of the customer profile, you can select Customize profile details in order to resize and reorder existing cards.

After choosing to modify the dashboard, you can reorder the cards by selecting the card title and dragging and dropping the cards into the desired order. You can also resize a card by selecting the angle symbol in the bottom-right corner of the card (⌟) and dragging the card to the desired size. In this example, the Basic attributes card is being resized.

The selected card adjusts to the desired size and surrounding cards are repositioned dynamically. This may cause some cards to be moved to additional rows, requiring you to scroll down in order to see all cards. For example, when the “Basic attributes” card is resized the “Linked identities” card is no longer visible on the top row and now appears on a new second row within the profile (not shown). To return the “Linked identities” card to the top row, you could drag and drop it into the current position of the “Channel preferences” card.

Edit and remove cards

In addition to resizing and reordering cards, you can edit the content of certain cards and remove some cards from the dashboard entirely. Select the ellipses (...) in the top-right corner of the card in order to edit or remove it. This opens a dropdown with options to either edit or remove the card, depending on the properties of the card selected.

Select Edit in the dropdown to open the Edit widget workspace, where you can update the card title, reorder or remove the visible attributes, or add additional attributes using the Add attributes button.

Add attributes add-attributes

From the Edit widget screen, select Add attributes in the top-right corner of the card to begin adding attributes to that card.

When the Select union schema field dialog opens, the left-side of the dialog shows the full XDM Individual Profile union schema, with fields nested underneath. For more information on union schemas, please refer to the union schemas section of the Profile user guide.

The Selected Attributes section on the right-hand side of the dialog shows the attributes that are currently included in the card that you are editing. You can remove and reorder attributes here as well. The total number of attributes selected is shown, as well as the maximum number of attributes (20) that can be added to a single card.

You can select any of the available union schema fields to customize the attributes on the card that you are editing. When selecting the fields, you can choose to see either the file path name or the display name. To switch between these two displays, select the Show display names toggle.

Selected fields are shown with a check mark next to them and are automatically added to the list of selected attributes. Once you have added all of the attributes that you would like to have displayed on the card, choose Select to return to the Edit widget screen.

When you return to the Edit widget screen, the list of attributes on the card should now be updated to reflect your choices. You can still remove or reorder the card attributes or edit the card title as needed. Once your edits are complete, select Save to save your changes.

After saving, you are returned to the Detail tab where the updated card and attributes are visible.

Add a new card add-a-new-card

To further customize the look of profiles within Experience Platform, you can elect to add new cards to the dashboard and select the attributes that you would like to display on those cards. To begin, select Modify dashboard on the Detail tab.

Next, select Add widget in the top left corner of the dashboard.

Choosing to add a new card opens the Edit widget screen where you can provide a title for the new card and choose the attributes that you wish the card to display. To begin adding attributes to the card, select Add attributes.

When the Select union schema field dialog opens, the left side of the dialog shows the full XDM Individual Profile union schema and the Selected Attributes section on the right-hand side of the dialog shows the attributes that you select for your card. For more information on adding attributes, see the section on adding attributes that appears earlier in this document.

The total number of attributes selected is shown, as well as the maximum number of attributes (20) that can be added to a single card. You can also remove and reorder your selected attributes from this screen. Once you have added all of the attributes that you would like displayed on the card, choose Select to return to the Edit widget screen.

When you return to the Edit widget screen, the list of attributes on the card should reflect your choices from the previous screen. You can also reorder and remove card attributes as needed.

In order to save your new card you must first provide a Card title, then you will be able to select Save and complete the card creation process.

After saving, you are returned to the Detail tab where your new card and attributes are visible.

Restore default cards

If at any point you decide that you would like to restore default cards that have since been removed, you have the ability to quickly and easily do so. First, select Modify dashboard, then select Restore default cards. Once the default cards are visible, you can select Save to save your changes or select Cancel if you do not wish to restore the default cards.
