Before setting up portals on your ShareVision site, you will need to

- Minimum (width x height): 385 pixels x 235 pixels
Maximum (width x height): 435 pixels x 315 pixels
Images outside of this range can be uploaded, however images which are smaller or larger than the recommended sizes listed above may not be easy for the ShareVision users to view in the Slide Show. More details about Resizing Images are provided below.

Data Source
Data Source is the section you will decide where you want to pull the data (pictures) for your Slide Show, you will have the option of picking from any image library that exists on your ShareVision site.
If you want to have several Slide Shows on different pages we recommend creating unique image libraries for each slide show like Seaside Residence Slide Show Images and Home Slide Show Images to make things easier to identify when setting up your PagePart.
After completing the configuration and saving, your slide show will now run automatically on the Page that the PagePart was added to as seen below.
Images can be pictures or graphics and using high quality Images will result in a clearer display for the users viewing the Slide Show
