Configure a reseller dashboard carousel

Reseller Managers can configure a carousel of rotating basic banners, detailed banners, or both, that appears on the reseller dashboard. The dashboard only appears for reseller company users, at Manage > Reseller > Dashboard.

The reseller dashboard Carousel menu option only appears at Manage > Reseller > Settings after AppDirect enables the Reseller dashboard. Contact your AppDirect technical representative to request it.

Basic banners consist of an image that opens a web page when users click it, as shown in the following example image.

Detailed banners feature an image, a custom banner title, custom banner details text, and a Learn more button that opens a web page when users click it.
