+
+## Board Settings
+
+#### Layout
+
+- Board Orientation (Vertical or Horizontal) 
+  - This determines the orientation of the card layout on the board.
+  - Horizontal is the default setting, and how the prior board was set up.
+  - Vertical is the new setting and allows lanes to be displayed vertically, with a grid of cards
+- Card Size (Small, Medium, Large)
+  - This determines the size of the cards on the board.
+  - Small is the default setting, and how the prior board was set up.
+  - Medium and Large are new settings and allow for larger cards to be displayed on the board.
+- Compact Cards (Tall or Wide)
+   - Formally called 'Compact'
+   - When on, data is displayed on the card vertically
+   - when turned off, some fields may share horizontal space, tightening the card layout
+- Colored Cards (On or Off)
+  - When on, cards are colored based on the Status color
+- Kiosk Mode (On or Off)
+   - This should be turned on if the shop is using it on a tablet (Ipad)
+
+#### Information
+
+These allow users to turn fields on or off, turning them all off will show the card in the most minimal form
