<p>Once you have your Stats points set up, you are ready to start creating Display boards. 
See the <a href="viewpage.action?pageId=4817220">Stats points</a> section for information 
on creating or editing Stats points.</p>

<p>Select the <span class="button">Live stats</span> tab and the following screen will appear. 
If you are adding a Display board for the first time, the content of this screen will be blank.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/add_display_board_1.png" alt="Add Display board" />

<p>To add a new Display board, just click on the <span class="button">Add</span> button, at 
the top right of the display boards list, as shown below.</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/add_display_board_2.png" alt="Add Display board" />

<p>The following pop-up will appear allowing you to choose one of three options:</p>

<ul>
	<li><b>Create blank:</b> This option allows you to design your own display board from scratch</li>
	<li><b>Create from a template:</b> This option allows you to choose a pre-defined display board template</li>
	<li><b>Create from an existing display board:</b> This option allows you to base your new display board on an existing template</li>
</ul>

<h2>Create blank</h2>

<p>Blank display boards start off as completely blank screens, allowing you to
determine what panels you would like to appear on the screen. To do
this, simply select <span class="keyword">Create blank</span> from the list below. Then click on the 
<span class="button">Finish</span> button.</p>

<p>In that case, your Display board will have no Stats points.</p>
