Images used for the Ad Rotator are stored in a picture library. However, you should store them in an Advertisement Library, not a Picture Library, because the Advertisement Library allows adding a hyperlink to each image if needed. There is no option for adding a hyperlink to an image in a Picture Library.

Step 1 - Creating an Advertisement Library

• Select Add an App under site admin menu
  
  
  
• Select Advertisement Library and name it
  (An advertisement library allows you to add a link to each image.)
  
  
  
• Upload images to the advertisement library
• Image Properties
• You could edit the properties of each image before saving it to the library, or do it later.
• To edit the image properties of an existing image,
• double click on it to open the image properties window
• add Alternative text to the Description field (this is critical for web accessibility)
  
• add URL if a link is needed

Step 2 - Adding an Ad Rotator Web Part to a web page

• Place your cursor at the location you want to add the Ad Rotator Web Part
• Select Insert tab
• Select Web Part > SectorPoint > Ad Rotator Web Part
  
  
   
• Click Add button

• The Ad rotator web part is added to the page
  

  • Select Edit Web Part from the dropdown (on top right) to open the Ad Rotator Web Part editor
    
    
    
    
  • Click on Select List button and browse to the existing Advertisement Library
  • Check an option for rotation method
  • Select "Google AJAX CDN" for jQuery Library delivery method
    
  • The “Fade”  transition effect is set by default for rotating images
