- Configure the following Web Part properties in the Web Part Editor "Miscellaneous" pane section as needed:
- Site Name: Enter the name of the site that contains the Spotlight Picture Library:
- leave this field empty if the Library is in the current site (eg. the Web Part is placed in the same site) - Enter a "/" character if the Library is contained in the top site - Enter a path if the Library is in a subsite of the current site (eg. in the form of "current site/subsite")

If you want to display only the images contained in a specific Library folder, append the folder name (separated by a "/") to the Library name: Example: Staff Pictures/Barbeque
You also can set the library folder via a connected Filter web part: Example: Staff Pictures/{filter}
If an "URL" list column is found in the specified Sharepoint list, it will be used as a hyperlink for the corresponding picture. The link then opens either in a new browser window or in the same window depending on the "Open Link in new window" option (see below).
- View Name: Optionally enter the desired List View of the list specified above. A List View allows you to specify specific data filtering and sorting. Please note that you need to select both the "Picture Width" and "Picture Height" columns when defining the view. These values are needed to properly scale the images.
Leave this field empty if you want to use the List default view.
