I have a custom list with Title and Description.

I wish to display the list view as a gallery with only the Title in it. On hover over the title, it should display the description field covering the gallery item.

I plan to implement this with list view formatting. Any help would be appreciated.

You can achieve this using JSON view formatting. Below is basic JSON sample which will help you to get started with:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/tile-formatting.schema.json",
  "height": 53,
  "width": 254,
  "hideSelection": true,
  "fillHorizontally": true,
  "formatter": {
    "elmType": "div",
    "attributes": {
      "class": "sp-card-container"
    },
    "children": [
      {
        "elmType": "button",
        "attributes": {
          "class": "sp-card-defaultClickButton",
          "role": "presentation"
        },
        "customRowAction": {
          "action": "defaultClick"
        },
        "customCardProps": {
          "formatter": {
            "elmType": "div",
            "txtContent": "[$Description]",
            "style": {
              "padding": "20px"
            }
          },
          "openOnEvent": "hover",
          "directionalHint": "bottomCenter",
          "isBeakVisible": true,
          "beakStyle": {
            "backgroundColor": "white"
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "elmType": "div",
        "attributes": {
          "class": "ms-bgColor-white sp-css-borderColor-neutralLight sp-card-borderHighlight sp-card-subContainer"
        },
        "children": [
          {
            "elmType": "div",
            "attributes": {
              "class": "sp-card-lastTextColumnContainer"
            },
            "children": [
              {
                "elmType": "div",
                "attributes": {
                  "title": "[$Title]",
                  "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralPrimary sp-card-content sp-card-highlightedContent"
                },
                "txtContent": "=if ([$Title] == '', '–', [$Title])"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Output:

  • Is there a way to display the description card inside the title div container rather than a bubble? I was still able to hide the break indicator.

  • That will be difficult a bit. It will break when there is large description & title container is of small size. Yes, if you want you can hide the beak using JSON styling.

  • I was able to bring the description inside the container. But this only gets highlighted when hovered over the title. How can I make this display over card hover. "txtContent": "[$Title]", "customCardProps": { "formatter": { "elmType": "div", "children": [ { "elmType": "div", "children": [],

  • Not sure how can I post the full JSON code. So posted a chunk of it.

  • I am adding the customCardProp to the title. Can I add that to the full card?
