Carousel profiles
After carousel rules and carousel planks are defined, carousel profiles are established. Profiles specify which planks are used for each profile. Profiles are linked to ports so that specific carousel items are displayed, depending on how and from where they are accessed. A profile can be connected to multiple ports. Up to three carousel planks can be displayed on the OPAC homepage, either in tabs or all at once, depending on what is set in the New OPAC homepage configuration.

Link to the new OPAC
To link the profile to the new OPAC, go to systemWise > Wisecat+ configuration > Wisecat+ homepage in the Manager. From here, it is possible to configure the carousels that appear by selecting a carousel profile. For more information see New OPAC homepage configuration.
Add a carousel to your mobile application
To include a carousel in your mobile application using the Wise API, create a carousel profile for the application in Wise. See Manage carousel profiles for more information.
Once the profile is created, copy the unique title code found at the bottom of the profile screen. This will be used as the {profileID} in the API call to add the carousel to your application.
