Setup

Please follow our instructions on how to install and activate addons.

In this instance, you’ll be activating the Soliloquy Schedule Addon.

Step 1 – Create or edit your slider

Your first step is to create a new slider or edit an existing one. You can follow along with our documentation for creating your first slider.

Step 2 – Set up the schedule options

Navigate to the Schedule tab. Click the Enable Scheduling? and set up the Start Date and End Date for your slider.

Step 3 – Edit slider images

Now we’ll need to edit our slider images in order to schedule them. To do this, click the blue pencil icon on your images to open the Edit Iem window.

Step 4 – Schedule the slider images

You can schedule each image in the slider from the Edit Item window by setting up the options on the right to schedule each image.

After scheduling each image click the Save Metadata button to save the changes. You can then use the right and left arrows at the top of the Edit Item window to go through each slider image repeating this step until all of the images have been scheduled accordingly.

When all images are scheduled, just click the X icon to close the Edit Item window.

Step 5 – Publish or Update your slider

Finally, click Publish or Update on your slider to save the changes.
