# Cards from Table

The Cards from Table node displays images from your data tables in a visually appealing card format. Cards are interactive elements that will be displayed in the touchpoint interface (web widget or kiosk) and that users can interact with (click on) during conversations.

#### Setting up cards:

1. Select source data table
2. Choose image column
3. Select name/title column
4. Configure sorting options
5. Set up filtering if needed

Example:

```
Data Table: Product catalog
Image (to display on the card): Product photo
Name (will be displayed on the card): Product name

Filter settings:
- Filter by: Product name
- Condition: Equals
- Match By: Context Variable
- Variable: {{user.product}} (previously stored user selection)
- Max records: 1 or more for multiple options, depends on the use case
```

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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.virbe.ai/dashboard-management/conversation-flows/nodes/action-nodes/cards-from-table.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
