Issue

Users want to display specific fields (e.g., Priority, Assignment Group) on the card view in Visual Task Boards to enhance visibility and usability.

Release

  Applicable to all supported ServiceNow releases with Visual Task Boards enabled.

Resolution

  To customize the fields shown on cards in a Visual Task Board:

  1. Open the Task Record
    • Navigate to the task type you want to modify (e.g., open an Incident record).
  2. Switch to VTB View
    • Right-click the ☰ menu (top-left corner of the form)
    • Select View > VTB
  3. Configure the VTB Form Layout
    • Right-click on the form context header (e.g., Incident)
    • Click Configure > Form Layout (or Form Builder)
    • Add the fields you want to display on the card view (e.g., Priority, Assignment Group, Short Description)
    • Click Save
  4. Enable Card Info Display on the VTB Board
    • Open the Visual Task Board for that record type
    • Click the Configuration gear icon
    • Select Show Card Info (This setting is available only when Compact Cards is disabled.)
    • This enables display of the fields added to the VTB form layout
  5. Verify the Changes
    • The selected fields should now appear on each card within the VTB board.
