Status Board to Display Character Information at a Glance

Roll20 needs a status board so that GMs can know what is going on with a collection of characters/tokens at a glance, such as hit points, afflictions, and more.  Staying on top of the status of characters/tokens currently requires looking at different tokens across the battlefield, often needing to click on them to get information. I would like to be able to know what is going on at a glance. This could be a floating palette, like the Turn Tracker widget. The GM should be able to add any fields to this status board and have them sorted by token/character. This widget should also be able to pop out into its own window. Rough wireframe of the concept:
it's a good idea

That would be awesome. Note, you can technically already make a Macro to print that kind of information into the Chat.&nbsp; You'll need either Selected Tokens representing Characters, or get the Character ID's to include in the macro. The rest of the macro is just Attribute calls.&nbsp; Formatting it neatly is another matter, which can be done as Plain Text or as Roll Template. Wiki docs to help: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Attribute_Macros" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Attribute_Macros</a> <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Templates</a> The idea is still good, for having a Floating Panel that can be easily/quickly configured to contain and display this kind of info.
