Automatic Image Cycling

Image Cycling has been designed to provide you with the ability to have listing images automatically rearrange themselves on any portal/website that you send to. This can make your listings look fresh and ideally lead to you receiving more clicks/opens/sales.

You have the option to enabled image cycling for all of your listings for specific portals or you can do this per listing.

To enable image cycling for all listings

  1. Go to Settings > Portals and Publication Defaults
  2. Select Image Cycling
  3. Choose the Cycle Time (Days) and the No. of Images
    Cycle Time (Days) - This is how often the images will cycle
    No. of Images - This is how many images your listing will cycle through
  4. Select which portals you wish to enable these settings for or select enable for all portal
Note: These settings will not act retroactively on listings that have already been Published in Rex. This will only affect newly Published listings from the time you set these settings up. Please refer to the steps below to enable image cycle for any listings prior to these settings being enabled.

 

To enable image cycling per listing, per portal

Image Cycling can be enabled per listing and per portal. This can be done by following the steps below:

  1. From your listing, click the red pen icon next to Portal Settings
  2. Hover over the relevant portal

The same steps will be followed to Disable Image Cycling
