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 |

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.
