Gallery module


About

The Gallery module enables the setup and management of galleries, which establish the taxonomy and hierarchical structure of your video portal (KMS). Administrators create galleries through the KMC, and they can be accessed via the video portal’s navigation header. This module provides flexible configuration options for organizing and displaying content.
