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. For example, if the display board is showing summary stats for your London site you might want to name the label panel as "London summary stats". If your display board is showing call information for the service team in London, you may choose to call the label panel "London Service".

You can also add an image, date and time to a label panel.

The following example shows how label panels could eventually look on a display board. All the label panels are highlighted in red. 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.
