Overview

The call number system is an application module that's natively integrated into the NexSigns platform. The call number system consists of 2 different user-facing interfaces

Call Number Display
Call Number Dashboard

Call Number Display (CND)

The Call Number Display is designed to run on the NexSigns platform and act as "output only" mode. Depending on the configuration, the Call Number Display will automatically scale to the size of the container. Below is an example of a Call Number Display.
