Library Hover Card

Question

Hello. Has anyone encountered this..........issue?

You have a library to store images. Whether ort not it's images or documents there is a card that pops up as you hover over the item, but it's blank. Bear in mind this is OOTB so one would expect and assume that since I haven't screwed around with JSON that it would work.

Eventually I would like to include another one or two fields underneath such as a star rating field to show up over the image but I dont have a degree in computer science to figure out how to do that with JSON.

Hi @Carl Williams ,

Per my test, if you are using OOTB, it is indeed the behavior by default.

==========================

If you want to use json formatting to customize the hover of the column, some can be achieved.

For example, to realize the preview of the picture you can use the json mentioned in this link：

==========================

Per my understanding, adding Rating field to the hover card is currently not supported. I would suggest you go to SharePoint UserVoice to make your suggestions.

From another perspective, you could also try to use the Rating Settings that SharePoint itself has.
Go to Library Settings>Rating Settings, and enable the Rating settings:

After this step when you change the library view, you will see the Rating column:

Thanks ElsieLu. Good info. I have tried JSON but like I said I don't have the requisite background in computer science nor the inclination to spend days figuring out how to make a simple little pop up card.

Yes, I have a rating field implemented BUT now I'm having issues with binding it to the field from within PowerApps.

Seriously, does EVERYTHING Microsoft need to be this complicated????

Now I suppose I'm going to have to start a new question just to address the rating issue. Why have it if it cant be easily and intuitively implemented? It is 2021 afterall, this isn't (shouldn't be) rocket science.

A month ago I started upgrading my legacy sites and trying ootb things but in doing so I've had to contact some form of support EACH time. That tells me something about the technology.
