# 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

1. Open the menu item **Smart View \[A]**&#x20;

2. Click on **\[B]**&#x20;

   ▷ The **Add Slider \[C]** window opens
3. Give the slider a name in **\[D]**
