Advanced Options: General

Appearance

• Widget size Widgets will automatically resize to
  best fit the surrounding page whenever the page is loaded. Great for
  libraries with mobile-responsive sites! Choose Manual to set your own
  height and widths. Good if there’s extra white space at the bottom of
  your widget.
• Display Sorting Select in what order you want items
  to show in the widget. Sorting randomly will show a different selection
  of items every time the widget loads. Other options are alphabetical by
  title or author, or date of publication (recent first).
• Easy Share Icon Select On to let anyone take a
  screenshot off your widget through the Easy Share button that will
  appear on the bottom right corner of your widget. Turn off and make
  screenshots yourself within widget creation.
• Custom Cover URL Augment our existing cover service
  with your own. URLs should look something like
  http://www.yourcoverservicehere.com/UNBOUNDREPLACE, where UNBOUNDREPLACE
  is replaced with the ISBN of the cover
• Cover Sizing Select whether covers should have forced width, height, or be cropped squares.

Link to Catalog

• Custom Link URL Add a different URL than your
  regular ISBN linking URL if items in this widget should go a different
  destination. Remember to use the “XXX” configuration. Example: a catalog
  that requires a different search URL for ISSNs or UPCs rather than
  ISBNs.
• Opens Choose how you want covers to link into your catalog, by going directly to that page or launching in a new window.
• Use Popup Box Choose to show a popup detail box
  containing cover, title, author, and in many cases summary, as well as a
  link to the item in the library. Turn this setting off if clicking a
  book and going to the catalog directly is desired.

More Advanced Options

• Custom HTML/CSS to output Add your own HTML or CSS
  to the widget to help adapt it to your site. See sample CSS classes and
  ids in the purple floating box.
• Internal Notes These are internal notes about the widget, viewable from the main list of widgets.

Advanced Options: By Style Type

Carousel

• Scroll count How many items to scroll forward when the widget advances through the items.
• Maximum items How many items to load into the widget at a given time.
• Automatic Scrolling If “on,” the widget will advance forward a few titles at a time without clicking the arrows.

3-D Carousel

• Automatic Scrolling 3-D carousels can be still, or advance one item at a constant interval. Determine that with the drop down menu, here.
• Number of Covers Most widgets will work well with auto covers. Adjust up or down in this setting.
