A vCard (Virtual Contact File) is an electronic business card which allows your clients to quick and easy access to the Firm's or Professional's contact information.

The vCard will appear in the app when your client logs into their SideDrawer.

  2. Select the Actions button next to the Affiliate you want to update branding for

    Label: A default label (description or call to action) will be presented that you can edit

    Link: When the SideDrawer selects the applicable icon within the vCard, this is what the SideDrawer User will be linked to (ex. A Phone Number, Email Address or URL).
