Choose the values you want to appear in your Slideshows design element from the dropdown.
In the Image field, select Banner Image URL URL in the dropdown.
In this example, we are mapping the Title field to show the name of the page, the Subtitle field and the Image field to show the banner thumbnail.
Step 4: Add parameter to increase the resolution
Banner image size is based on its width. Banner image height will be automatically changed. To change the size of the Image we need to use the additional parameter, in this case it is resolution.
We have can use resolution parameter from 0 to 6, where 0 = default size and 6 = original size.
Example: &resolution=3
Now we need to add this parameter to the Image mapping we did:
That's all. Now you are able to increase the Banner Image resolution connected to ShortPoint element.
