Overview — Screens, Database, Layout Settings, Use Cases

This template makes it easy to create a two-column image gallery that, when clicked, opens up a modal containing an image carousel.

The Image Carousel feature template is perfect for any app where records contain multiple images, such as rental properties or co-working room rentals. It starts with a two-column gallery that opens up into a full-screen modal containing one large image and a list of thumbnails. A click on any thumbnail brings it up in the large image area.
