Create, edit or delete a machine info card
You can easily see information about multiple machines in one screen using the card view. You can add one card to every machine, and the cards from all machines will be visible when you use card view in the Portal app. You can create as many different cards as you need to customise the card that is shown for a certain machine. This will optimise the available information for every machine and will make the most important machines available at a glance.
