Glossary

This glossary gathers the terms you'll come across in ECARD and in this documentation. Each definition links to the matching detailed section; if you're unsure about a step, see also troubleshooting.

Organization & team

Organization — Your main account (your company). It groups all users, templates, contacts and settings. Billing is managed at this level. See Organization & team.

Space — A sub-unit of an organization (subsidiary, branch, department) that partitions users, templates and permissions. See Spaces.

User — A person in your organization who carries a card, a profile page, a signature or a wallet.

Profile — A user's digital record (name, job title, company, phone numbers, social links…). This data feeds the public page, the vCard, the signature and the wallet.

Administrator — A person with access to the dashboard, holding a role (Owner, Administrator, Manager, Member, Viewer). See Users & roles.

Entity — A brand or department with its own visual identity (logo, colors), useful when several brands coexist.

Group — A set of users (by team, department, site) used for targeting (assigning a template/an order to a whole group).

Tag — A free-form label to segment users and contacts.

Cards & sharing

NFC card — A physical chip-enabled business card: held near a smartphone, it opens the chosen content. See NFC Cards.

Card mode — What the card does when scanned: Profile (public page), Link (URL), vCard (contact file), Default (organization setting).

Named / anonymous card — Named = pre-assigned to a person before printing; anonymous = activated by any user with their email.

Activation — The step that links a received card to a profile and makes it work. See Activate a card.

Profile page — A user's public web page, shared by card, QR or link. See Profile page.

vCard (.vcf file) — A standard contact record you can save into your address book in one tap. See vCard.

Wallet — The digital version of the card in Apple Wallet / Google Wallet. See Wallet.

Wallet mode — As with the card, what the wallet's QR does when scanned (Profile, Link, vCard, Default), resolved at scan time. See Modes & QR.

QR code — A scannable code pointing to a profile or a link.

Contact form — A form shown on a profile page to capture a visitor, who then becomes a contact. See Contact form.

Content & marketing

Template — A shared, reusable layout (profile page, card, signature, wallet, vCard) that ensures brand consistency.

Email signature — A consistent signature inserted into emails, powered by variables. See Email signatures.

Variable — A dynamic field (e.g. {{user.firstName}}) replaced with each user's real information.

Campaign — A scheduled marketing banner, shown on signatures, profile pages and wallets. See Campaigns.

Contact — A person captured via a profile form, a card scan, a manual add or an import. See Contacts.

Tracking & integrations

Statistics — Engagement measurement (views, scans, clicks). See Statistics.

Integration — A connection to a third-party tool (Microsoft Entra, Outlook add-in, webhooks). See Integrations.

Microsoft Entra ID — Microsoft's directory (formerly Azure AD) from which ECARD can synchronize your users.

Webhook — An automatic call to a URL when an event occurs (e.g. a new contact) to feed a CRM or an automation.

Account & subscription

Account — Your personal access (identity, sign-in, security), managed under Personal settings. Distinct from the profile (card data). See Account & security.

Plan — Your organization's ECARD package: it determines the available modules and the number of users included. See Subscription.

Module — A feature that can be enabled depending on the plan (signatures, wallet, campaigns…). A missing section is often a module that isn't included.

Card credit — A unit consumed when ordering an NFC card. See Subscription.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) — A second check at sign-in, on top of the password. See Two-factor authentication.
