Hyperlink reference card limits

In Projects, after you paste certain types of links into a rich text editor and save your changes, the editor automatically renders the link as a reference card so you can see information about it without clicking it:

You should be aware of the following limitations to this feature:

  • This feature applies to the following types of links only:
    • Narrative
    • Objective
    • Control
    • Risk
    • Control test
    • Walkthrough
    • Test plan
  • The reference card shows the link's title by default. If the link doesn't have a title, the card displays the first 255 characters of the link's description instead.
  • Up to 50 reference cards can appear on the same page.
  • Reference cards don't appear in reporting mechanisms, including Reports, one-click reports, API exports, and AN imports. In these cases, the reports contain plain URLs instead.
