# Information & description cards

View key properties and contextual information through cards in the interface.

Information and description cards provide a quick way to view key properties and contextual details directly within the interface.

### Review information cards

Information cards help you quickly view key details about an item without leaving your current page. 

They appear when you hover over an object’s name (for example, an agreement), and contain important information such as the object name, ID, and more. The exact details displayed within a card vary according to the object.

Information cards also contain links to related objects. Selecting a link takes you directly to that object's details page. For example, selecting the licensee name opens the licensee’s details page. You can close a card by selecting **Close** or pressing **Esc**.

### Review description cards&#x20;

Description cards are tooltip-style components used throughout the SoftwareOne Marketplace to provide short and contextual information directly within the interface. These cards offer additional guidance to help you understand key details and make informed decisions.

When description cards are available, you’ll see an info icon (<i class="fa-circle-info">:circle-info:</i>). For example, during order creation, an info icon appears next to the price when additional details are available. The details may include promotional information, including discount percentage, promo dates, seat requirements, and more.

You can hover over the icon to view the additional information. To close a card, select **Close** or press **Esc**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/marketplace-platform/getting-started/interface/view-information-cards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
