What does my profile look like?
Your VKARD profile and contact details are customizable and can be updated indefinitely. We can display your photo, company logo, emails, phone numbers, social media, custom links, etc.
If you’re not an administrator, you won’t be able to edit the information on the Dashboard. In that case, you’ll need to contact your administrator for any changes.
