Block

The Block displays a floorplan image with Workstation allocations for each team. The color of desks on the floorplan and the stack will match for Fixed and Flexible teams. If your flexible teams are within a Neighborhood, the color of the block will represent the Neighborhood color, however, the stack will retain the team color.
