Gallery module fields
Click each tab below to see a description of the associated fields.
| Field | Description |
| Internal Name | Enter an internal name for this asset. Brightspot uses this name internally, such as in the search panel and recent activity widget. This name is not visible to visitors to your site. |
| Title | Enter a title for this asset. This title is visible to the visitors to your site. If this gallery module is created from an existing gallery, it will automatically use the same title. Enter a new value in this field to override the title. |
| Description | Enter a description that describes this asset. This description is visible to the visitors to your site. If this gallery module is created from an existing gallery, it will automatically use the same description. Enter a new value in this field to override the description. |
| Items | Click to upload files to this module, or click to add existing images to it.carousel. |
| Call To Action | Select None, Internal or External.
Each option also allows you to define Name and Value attributes, the latter of which appends an additional parameter to the URL (for example, if you input Brightspot Home Page. into the Value field, appends Title="Brightspot Home Page" to the URL of the external link specified in the call to action). |
| Call To Action Button Text | Enter text appearing on the call-to-action button. This text is visible to the visitors to your site. |
| Field | Description |
| Anchor | Modify the anchor to something that would make sense when appearing in an Anchor field's drop-down menu on another asset. This allows you to directly link to this module in another asset. Being specific makes it easier to identify in a list of other anchors. |
Carousel Styles
| Field | Description |
| Preset | Select one of the following:
