Badge Display
Completed
Is there a way to change the summary that is displayed on the badge in the badge view layout? For instance, I have modified a contact app to include a photo for members. I would like the badge view to display thier photo and their name. Right now the badge displays their photo and their contact category (another field in the app). Can I change this?

Hey everyone,
First of all, thank you for your input and votes on this feature. I have great news for you today!
It’s now possible to customize what is shown in the badges so that the look and work even better in your app overview. Click the wrench in the upper left when viewing the app and select "Layout Options"
From here you can now select which fields appear within the badges and where. You can also select None in any section if you’d like to hide that area and make the badges smaller.
We just posted a blog post on this as well that you can read here: http://blog.podio.com/2015/03/24/customizable-badge-layout-podio/
Please take a look at how it works and let me know how it feels! Any questions and feedback is much welcome - as always.
All the best,

Is there a prioritized future-feature list, so we can guess if and when this advanced-badge-view will be available. From the developer point-of-view, this feature can be finished within max. 5 hours (just add some checkboxes to the small options menu of the badge view). So lets start! :)

Hi Guys,
I understand this point was raised 2 years ago and it is as of 2 months ago still on the wishlist to develop and I understand there is no plan on if/when it will ever be online, right?
Is there at least a way to understand how the software automatically selects what is shown in the badge? So at least I can try to have is do what I prefer, not is is quite random. Thanks!

Dont know is this is possible specifically within a contact app but I tweeted a similar question about modifying the badge view in Projects and was told by @Podiosupport that currently there is no way to modify the badge and that they are working on a new improved badge layout. I guess not for the time being unless anyone else knows?

I also don't find a lot of proper functionality in terms of what is visible in the badge. The due date displays, which is fine, but not the project, deliverable, or action item owner. Instead the badge displays the name of the person who entered the data, which in many cases may be an admin. The name that displays on the badge should be the owner of the badge item.

I very much would like to modify the BadgeView. It appears fairly random as to which fields are displayed in the badge. For example in one of my apps, the first three fields are displayed, however in the Gallery app it displays a date (in fact not the date from the entry screen, but the creation date) and the creator. That is not helpful to me at all. Thanks!

+1 on this request. It should be configurable which fields are displayed in the badges and which get visual priority. Sometimes a date needs to be more salient than a photo, or you don't want to have to choose the order in which your fields are listed in the app. You could define regions in the badge (e.g., header, sub-header, large center pane, footer) and let users map fields to regions. If you wanted to be super fancy, you could provide a drag-and-drop interface like the one you have for Excel imports, and perhaps provide formatting controls for each region. Even super-duper-fancier would be to allow multiple fields to be mapped to the same region in order of precedence so the badge would display the secondary one if there's no data for the primary one.

Hey Kristi, no news about timeframe at the moment, but that doesn't mean that we don't read and discuss your input.
In general we don't give timeframes on future features, but trust me that I share the popular suggestions from the Help Centre with the rest of the team as often as I can.
