      "Alignment": "Center",
      "Margin": {

          "Margin": {
            "Left": 16,
            "Right": 16

    The parameters in the sample JSON code are as follows:

    • The Type parameter value is not configurable.
    • The CellId parameter value in the sample code is based on the value in the default base system version of the Employee Center table [sn_cd_content_mobile]. If the value in that table has changed, add the changed value in the sample JSON code.
      Note:
      To access the table to check the values, enter sn_cd_content_mobile.list in the navigation filter of your application navigator.
    • The other parameter values in this sample code for text cards are standard setup values that provide a balanced appearance for the cards. You can customize these values.
