Set Up and Configure the Image and Content Carousel

Open the Zenpo Image and Content Carousel property pane and work through Data Source, Display Mode, Visual Effects, Card Layout, and Behavior. The License group is documented on Register the Suite and Start Your Trial.

Shared list rules (roles, not column names; the view carries order, filter, and limit; changing the list resets mappings) are on How Zenpo Web Parts Use Your SharePoint Data.

This product has no Appearance group. It follows the page theme. See Appearance Settings: Color Vibe, Accent Color, and Corner Radius.

Data source

  1. Choose List or Library.
  2. Choose View when you want SharePoint to filter, sort, or limit the rows first.
  3. Map Title Field.
  4. Map Description Field.
  5. Map Image Field. For lists the control is labelled Image Field (required). If it is missing, the pane warns: ⚠ Image Field is required for lists. Select a field that contains image URLs.
  6. Set Cache Duration (default 5 minutes).

A document library does not need an Image Field. It filters to image files and generates previews.

The web part shows at most 50 items and does not page beyond that. Use a filtered view when the source is larger.

Unconfigured canvas: Configure your Carousel Web Part / Please configure the carousel settings / Configure. Empty source: No items found in the selected list.
