When to use the Carousel Banner component

Use this component to create, add, or update a carousel banner.

Carousel banners require a general description of the carousel and titles for each slide image. The carousel description and image title are required for accessibility. Image titles can be visually hidden by toggling the "captions" drop-down to "hide."

The slide order can be controlled by the "order" drop-down field available for each slide. 

Usability guidance

This component will only allow for images at the following dimensions / aspect ratio:

  • 848 x 350
  • 1400 x 600

Images outside these dimensions will be automatically cropped to fit to ensure size uniformity across all slides. Contact the web support team if you need help with image sizing.
