Page contentsPage contents The facts and figures component is used to highlight quantifiable information. It can present statistics, achievements, or other quantifiable information in an easy-to-scan format. The facts and figures component is used to emphasise and illustrate a small number of items. It should not be used to communicate large amounts of data. How to build this in the Europa Web Publishing Platform (EWPP) The multi-column layout is used to easily compare, illustrate or accentuate the numerical values within their corresponding content and context. Get the code and specifications Try it out in the playground Example When to use when you have multiple pieces of content, within the same context, that have a numerical property you want to highlight When not to use do not use for individual pieces of content - use featured item instead do not use for content that is not quantifiable Dos follow the Web writing guidelines for Numbers in order to maintain institutional consistency keep your labels short (2-3 words) if using icons, consult the ECL Icon library to find a representative icon for the metrics that you wish to reference use the 'more' link below when you want to link to more detailed data For developers: If needed you may create your own icons, but they should follow the same style as the ECL icons. Don'ts do not use anything other than a numerical value in the Figure field, followed by the corresponding metric that is stated in the label field do not vary the description text in terms of length, as this will create an uneven grid do not use the label field for descriptions (shown below)
