The cards show you the most important information ranked according to relevance.

Depending on the specified filter criteria, you then see all urgent overdue materials, stock values (by special stock type), or warehouse throughput information. For list cards, selecting the header of a card brings you to the app itself, while selecting an item brings you to more detailed item information. For graphical or analytical cards, selecting the card brings you to more detailed analytical information.
