When a scrolling text element is connected to a data source, these properties define how real-time data scrolls. Data scrolling loops through rows of data, while visual scrolling determines how text moves across the screen.

​
Data Scrolling Settings

​
Use Data Scrolling

  • Enables or disables scrolling through real-time data in the element.

​
Scrolling Step Size

  • Defines how many rows the element moves forward each time data refreshes.
  • Example:
    • If Row = 2 and Scrolling Step Size = 3, the element will display Row 2, Row 5, Row 8, and so on.
    • Once all available rows have been displayed, the element loops back to Row 2.

Important:

  • When multiple elements with data scrolling are placed inside a table row, they must have the same Scrolling Step Size to stay synchronized.

​
Alternative Data Scrolling (For Table Elements Only)

When a scrolling text element is part of a table row, additional options are available:

​
Number of Rows

  • Limits scrolling to the first N rows of the data source.
  • Useful when displaying only the most recent news items from an RSS feed or database.

Tip:

  • If you need to show only top news items, use Number of Rows to limit scrolling to the latest entries.

​
Additional Notes

  • Data scrolling properties are only available if the element is connected to a data source.
  • The displayed data is determined by:
    • Row property (starting position).
    • Scroll Step Size (how many rows to skip per refresh).
  • The scrolling process loops through all available rows and restarts when reaching the end.
