Field	Description
Internal Name	Enter an internal name for this asset. Brightspot uses this name internally, such as in the search panel and recent activity widget. This name is not visible to visitors to your site.
Title	Enter a title for this asset. This title is visible to the visitors to your site. If this gallery module is created from an existing gallery, it will automatically use the same title. Enter a new value in this field to override the title.
Description	Enter a description that describes this asset. This description is visible to the visitors to your site. If this gallery module is created from an existing gallery, it will automatically use the same description. Enter a new value in this field to override the description.
Items	Click file_download to upload files to this module, or click add_circle_outline to add existing images to it.carousel.
Call To Action	Select None, Internal or External. None—No call to action button is displayed. Internal—A call to action button is displayed that links to an internal asset. External—A call to action button is displayed that links to an external URL. When setting up an internal or external call to action, you have the option to set how the link will behave. Select either Internal or External, then specify a target or, for internal links only, an anchor to which you link visitors. Each option also allows you to define Name and Value attributes, the latter of which appends an additional parameter to the URL (for example, if you input `Brightspot Home Page`. into the Value field, appends `Title="Brightspot Home Page"` to the URL of the external link specified in the call to action).
Call To Action Button Text	Enter text appearing on the call-to-action button. This text is visible to the visitors to your site.

Field	Description
Anchor	Modify the anchor to something that would make sense when appearing in an Anchor field's drop-down menu on another asset. This allows you to directly link to this module in another asset. Being specific makes it easier to identify in a list of other anchors.
