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.

Call Number Dashboard

Call Number Dashboard is designed to run on the modern browser through the NexSigns platform. The Call Number Dashboard has both "input/output" modes. Through the Call Number Dashboard, users can input new or remove existing call numbers and the Call Number Display will render the result accordingly. Below is an example of a Call Number Dashboard simulated on an iPad in landscape mode.
