Overview

The Carousel component displays a series of images one at a time, allowing users to view each image in sequence. It retrieves images from object fields that are of the URL data type, enabling the display of dynamic content.

For example, in a product showcase application, the Carousel component can be used to display a series of product images. Users can view each image in sequence with smooth transitions, and the Carousel can be configured to show only when certain criteria are met, such as on a product detail page.

Attributes

Attributes are the options available for each component, allowing you to customize its appearance and functionality. They help you tailor the look and behavior of your components to fit your needs.

Model:

Attribute Name	Description
Model	Models (Salesforce Objects) are essential for displaying content (fields) in the layout, and they are primarily used for creating or editing records. Here you can choose the option select the existing model or create a New Model Note: Create a multi-record model, as the Carousel works only with multi-record models. Reference: Model Creation.

Basic:

Attribute Name	Description
Component Size	This allows users to modify the size of a specific component according to the grid size of layout. This feature allows for flexible customization, enabling users to resize components to fit their specific needs within the defined grid structure. For example, if the layout grid size is `3` then layout is divided into 3 sections then you can changes the components size between `1` to `3`.
Head Line	The fields you created appear in the Head Line attribute, and the data saved in these fields is displayed below the carousel image.
Source	In the Source Field, you can select a field with a URL data type where the Carousel image is stored.
Description	In this field, you can provide a description for the carousel images. You can choose fields to show for the description..
Auto Scroll	When the "Auto Scroll" checkbox is marked as true, the carousel images will automatically scroll. Note: The Scroll Duration field becomes visible after marking the checkbox as true.
Scroll Duration	In the Scroll Duration field, you can set the time interval after which the image will automatically scroll.
Animation Type	Here, you can animate your image using various effects such as Slide: : A slide transition is how one slide is removed from the screen and the next slide is displayed during a presentation Scale: An animation that controls the scale of an object. You can specify the point to use for the center of scaling Fade: Fade animation is used to change the appearance and behavior of objects over a particular interval of time. It will provide a better look and feel for our applications Flip: Flip animation is viewed by viewing successive images in a quick motion so that they seem to form a sequence. A flip animation is a simple type of animation created by viewing successive images so quickly that they seem to form a sequence. Jack-in-the-Box: A Jack In The Box, Creates a transition effect by imitating a popular joke toy movement. It starts with the central fading in and continues with shaking from one side to another.

Base UI:

Attribute Name	Description

It determines whether a component is visible on the layout. It offers the following visibility types:

Always: The component will always be visible.
Conditional: The component's visibility is determined based on specific criteria, which can make it either visible or hidden as needed.
You can explore more about Visibility Type here

Reference: Conditional Visibility

Conditional Visibility Type:

Attributes Name	Description
Destination Type	Users can select the destination type where the visibility criteria must be applied. Reference: Destination Type
Operator	Here, users can select different operators to add filters. Reference: Filter Operator.
Source Type	Here, you can select the source type from various sources.
Value	Here user can select the value from different Source Type. Reference: Merge Text

Destination Type

Destination Type	Description
Model	From this source, users can select a Model field to be displayed as the destination type.
Variable	Here, users can select the destination type from variables such as Record ID, Is Disabled, Is Read only, or Is Visible.

Attribute Name

Description

Read Only Type

It specifies whether a component can be edited by users. It offers the following options:

Never: The component will always be editable at any time.
Always: The component will never be editable.

Add Condition & Group Condition

Condition	Description
Add Condition	The Add Condition feature allows users to define multiple criteria that must be met for a validation rule to trigger. This feature is used to create complex logic by combining different conditions that Salesforce evaluates before allowing a record to be saved.
Add Group Condition	The Add Group Condition feature allows users to group multiple conditions together, creating complex logic that involves different sets of criteria. This feature is particularly useful when combining conditions that should be evaluated as a unit (logical OR within a group) or when nesting conditions for more advanced logic.

Filter Operator:

Note: Before using the filter criteria, it's important to understand which filter operators are supported for each field type

Filters Attributes:

Filter Operators

Operator	Supported Field Types	Description
Equal	Number, Currency, Date, Text, Boolean, Picklist	The equal operator is used to compare two values or expressions. It is used to compare numbers, strings, Boolean values, variables, objects, etc. The result is TRUE if the expressions are equal otherwise it’s FALSE
Contains	Text, Picklist	The contains operator returns TRUE if the value on the left contains the value on the right, and otherwise FALSE

Events:

Events are essentially the automation of invoking the component's actions.
Here, we have onload event, click, event actions are available for this components

Icon Events	Description
onload	This event action is triggered when the Carousel component is loaded.

onload Events:

We have an onload event that runs when the component is loaded.

For example, when a form is loaded, you can choose fields to be prepopulated by mapping field values using input mapping at the time the form component is loaded.

Input Mapping

Whenever an event is triggered and you want to pass data to destinations such as models, variables, or components, you can use input mapping to achieve that.

After clicking on Pencil icon, user can view the screen to set Input Mapping as follows:

After clicking on + button, user can set up input mapping using Input Mapping Screen as follows:

Condition	Description

Note: Fields below this will only be enabled once user filled above two fields.
Field	After choosing the second condition field, you will get this field visible in modal. If you chose Model as second condition field, this will be field and if you chose variable as second field, there will be variable.
Operator	It is specifically operator value such as Set, Equals, Greater than, Equals than.
