Slide type page

You can add a slide as a playlist page if you select the Slide source selector on the left side of the editor.

What can I select as page​

You can use slide as playlist page.

  • You can add the slide to the playlist with double click or Drag n' Drop
  • You can also add an entire folder of slides as a single playlist page by dragging the folder from the source selector into the playlist. The page then iterates through every slide inside that folder, following the page's playback rules — similar to how a Media folder page iterates through media files.
  • The slide will use the default page duration set inside Playlist settings, but the page length can be manually adjusted.
    • The slide's Slide duration based on setting can overwrite the manually set page duration and global playlist duration

  • When using a Continuous slider layout, the item duration will overwrite the page duration.
  • If the slide contains quick editable widgets, a quick edit offering modal will appear when you select the slide as a page.

Slide type page settings​

In Playlist Page Settings, you can individually edit each page’s general settings and customize their behavior.

Duration​

This duration will define the length of the slide page

  • Minimum duration must be greater than 3s.
  • This duration overwrites the default duration from playlist's global settings.
  • The slide's Slide duration based on setting can overwrite the manually set page duration and global playlist duration
  • When using a Continuous slider layout, the item duration will overwrite the page duration.
In ePaper mode this value is set in minutes, with the minimum duration of 5 minutes.

Duration source​

Duration source controls whether the slide page uses a fixed duration or a dynamic duration derived from a widget inside the slide.

  • Static (default): The page uses the manually set duration value (or the playlist's default duration if not overridden).
  • Dynamic: The page duration is determined by the slide's Slide duration based on setting. If the slide has a widget selected for duration (e.g., a Video or Audio widget), the page will automatically match that widget's playback length.
tip

To use the Dynamic duration source, first configure the Slide duration based on setting in the Slide Designer by selecting a widget with a native duration (Video, Audio, Gallery, or Videos).

Mute​

Here you can mute the audio of the slide.

  • Default value: Disabled
caution

If a file used in the slide has been muted at the file level (in the File Manager), the per-page mute setting cannot override it. The file will remain muted regardless of this setting.

Paginated slide​

A data-bound slide can instead be added as a paginated slide, which repeats the slide once for every row in its datasource. When you add the slide, a Choose how to add this slide modal lets you pick Slide or Paginated slide.
