Birthday card

Set up a Birthday card

By default, the Birthday card displays birthdays occurring in the current month for all users who have added their birthday to their profile, or who have their birthday syncing from an external user store (eg. Active Directory). The Birthday card only displays the month and day of people's birthdays, never their birth year.

The Birthday card can also be set to display birthdays that are occurring today, to the end of the month, or for a set number of days in the future. It can be scoped to display only the birthdays of members of a particular intranet group; the group name will show below the Birthdays heading.

1. In edit mode, click Set up cards under Content type & template on the right. The Update cards window will open.
2. Click Modify template, click the plus sign in the column you want to add it in, and click on Birthday in the Cards menu on the right. 
   • Note: If you don't see the Modify template option, and there is no Birthday card already present in the template, talk to your intranet administrator about making the Birthday card available for you to use.
3. By default, the Birthday card is set up to display all birthdays occurring in the current month. If you wish to select other options, click In use on the Birthday card (or the gear icon on the right of it).

5. In the Birthday card pop-up window, select the radio button for whose birthdays you want to display:
   • Everyone - display all birthdays
