Card Caption

The Card caption is a non-editable region at the top of a card that can display custom information for each record. As a rule, a card caption represents a card’s ordinal number or card field value. However, you can custom draw the caption to display arbitrary data. Expand buttons displayed within card captions allow end-users to expand and collapse individual cards.
