Once connected to the ITESlive Studio, click on the "Configuration" tab and select the "Template management" entry.

Navigate the tree view on the left-hand side of the template management window to select the template in which you want to configure scrolling text, once the template is highlighted in grey click on the "Edit template" button.

When the template is visible in the template editor, click each element you wish to have scrolling to select them and take a note of their identifier. Then click on the action button.

Tip: To dynamically scroll text elements, it is important to ensure that your template contains a pre-configured data source as well as a 'List' element. For more information, see what a data source is and how to use the list tool in the template editor.
