It is a large banner used for featured content. Rotators cycle through different content on your site, displaying multiple pieces in a single space and potentially increasing exposure. It showcases one item at a time as it rotates. You can turn this module into a static banner image by only including a single item.
Add a Rotator banner
- Click the gear icon in the upper right of the software.
- In the left navigation panel click Pages in the Layout section.

Caption - Click Rotator. Rotator will appear in the left hand panel.
- Click Rotator in the left hand panel. Additional configuration settings are displayed.
- Configure the rotator as desired:.
- (Optional) Provide a Name for the rotator. This may be useful in identifying a rotator if you are adding multiple rotators to a page.
- Content Type: This is how you choose which content type is pulled into the module. Options: Group, Speakers, Sessions.
- Show Arrows: Will display arrows on the banner. Visitors to this page will be able to "force" a scroll by clicking the arrows.
- Show Title: Choose if you wish the title of the rotator to be displayed at the top of the rotator.
- Show Pause: Choose if you wish to display an option to pause the rotator.
- Variant: This allows you to choose the module shape from the drop-down menuFor example, Circular, rounded, or square. Note that a square can be a rectangle; it just means it has hard corners instead of rounded corners. The screenshot above is displaying circular.
- Text Align: This allows you to set the alignment of the titles of each slide (not the module title). Options for: Center, Left and Right. We recommend using Left for most content but Center for speakers (because they are circular).
- Slide width and height: Input 355 (width) x 200 (height) for a standard 16:9 ratio image. This corresponds to the image size (800 x 450) that we request from clients for most rectangular images.
- Spacing: 10 is the recommended spacing between each item on your rotator.
- Show Title: Choose this option if you wish to display the title of the content. For example: If you have configured your groups with a title, that title will display beneath the group (as shown in the screenshot above).
- Slide Description: Choose this option if you wish to display the description of the content. For example: If you have configured your groups with a description, that description will display beneath the group.
- Show Progress: For courses only, check this box to show the progress indicator in the corner of the Tile.
