Label panel

What is a Label panel?

A label panel is as the name suggests a panel that can be used to provide a meaningful label for your display board or any area of the display board. e.g. If the display board is showing summary stats for your London site you might want choose something like 'London summary stats' as the name for the label panel. If your display board is showing call information for the service team at London, you may choose to call the label panel 'London Service'. You can also add an image, date and time to a label panel.

NOTE: There is no limit to the number of label panels you can use on a display board. e.g. you may choose to add a large label panel at the top of the board and smaller label panels on subsections.

The following example shows how label panels could eventually look on a display board. All the label panels are hilighted in red border. You can see a larger label panel at the top saying 'All Telesales' followed by two smaller label panels describing the sections below, 'Top Performers' and 'Summary Stats'. At the top left hand side of the page, you can see the company's logo, whereas at the top right hand side of the page, you can see the current time.
