# Slider Groups

You can combine multiple Views into *Slider Groups*. These slider groups then switch between the individual Views after a set period.

## Create a New Slider Group

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="https://3489494878-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9GvUpaatBiReR43XFSMg%2Fuploads%2FX2VnxHi7O2PIUHLaNjI6%2FFDFBAAC3-52FA-4703-BDC2-E359727ADDF1.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f2ce11ad-3577-4cad-a9df-882a6e9dad10" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

1. Open the menu item **Smart View \[A]**

   ▷ The "Smart Views" workspace opens.
2. Click on **\[B]**

   ▷ The **Add Slider \[C]** window opens
3. Give the slider a name in **\[D]**
4. In **\[E]**, select the interval. This is the time that passes until the next view is displayed in the slider.
5. Click on **\[F]**

   ▷ The slider has been created

## Add Views to a Slider

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="https://3489494878-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9GvUpaatBiReR43XFSMg%2Fuploads%2F5knKMEPM0uaqwQGZfbwz%2FAB89321F-B0A0-4402-8638-187096677EDE.png?alt=media&#x26;token=dfd927a3-858b-4318-9b6b-cf3f784e6d26" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

1. Open a slider group
2. Click on **\[G]**
3. The **Add View \[H]** window opens
4. Click on **\[J]**

   ▷ a list of the available views **\[K]** is displayed

   ◈ [Protected Views](/collection/platform/smart-views/provide-a-smart-view.md) are marked with the symbol **\[L]**
5. Click on the view you want to add
6. Click on **\[I]**
7. Repeat the previous steps to add more views

{% hint style="warning" %}
If both protected and unprotected views are present in a slider: The slider will not be displayed without valid login credentials.

Even views that are not actually protected will not be displayed if they are in a slider that contains protected views.
{% endhint %}

## Provide a Slider

Sliders are provided using the same principle as [Views](/collection/platform/smart-views/provide-a-smart-view.md).

1. Click on **\[M]** to copy the URL of the slider group
2. Open the copied URL in a web browser

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/platform/smart-views/slider-groups.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
