Dynamic Galleries automatically display Assets from a Saved View in your Library. When Assets matching the view change, the Gallery updates automatically.
Note that only Admins and Content Managers have access to the Library and can create Dynamic Galleries.
Prerequisites
Before creating a Dynamic Gallery, you need a Saved View in your Library with the filters that define which Assets should appear. If you haven't created a Saved View yet, see Creating Saved Views.
Creating a Dynamic Gallery
Navigate to where you want the Gallery in your Kit
Drag the Gallery block from the Insert Panel
Choose Dynamic Gallery
Select a Saved View from your Library
Click Add to create the Gallery
How Dynamic Galleries work
The Gallery displays all assets from the Library matching your Saved View's filters. If an asset is created or updated to match that view, it will automatically be added to the Gallery. If an asset is updated to no longer match the view, it will be removed from the Gallery.
Gallery access
Remember that anyone with access to the Kit can access these assets. It's important to consider that editing an asset anywhere in Lingo (including the Library or other kits) will affect its presence in the Gallery.
Make sure that the views used for Dynamic Galleries include the right filters to only show appropriate assets.
Benefits of Dynamic Galleries
Always current - No manual updates needed.
Consistent - Gallery always reflects your Library.
Efficient - Set up once, maintain automatically.
Reusable - You can create multiple Dynamic Galleries using the same Saved View across different Kits.
Managing Dynamic Galleries
The content in a Dynamic Gallery can be changed in two ways
When the connected view is updated. This could be done by:
Adding or removing filters in the saved view
Changing asset metadata (tags, custom fields, etc.) so they match or no longer match the view criteria
Choose a different view for the Gallery:
Select the Gallery in your Kit
Click Edit
Select a different Saved View
Click Save
When to use Dynamic Galleries
Dynamic Galleries are great for:
Collections that update frequently
Large sets that would be tedious to maintain manually
Tag-based or filter-based groupings
Keeping Kits in sync with your Library
Collections you want to manage via the Library or share across multiple Kits
