You can use cards to add content to your dashboard. You can use a card to add a URL or HTML code to your dashboard or add cards that display your logo, provide a link to your website, or present text that describes key points about the other cards in the dashboard.

CSS selectors ID and class

The difference between an ID and a class is that an ID can identify one element, while a class identifies more than one.

For cards that should always be shown, set the ID to “standard”. This is the most common setting.

Use Class to identify multiple elements.
