Dynamic Slider picks up the slides to be shown in the slider automatically you do not have to add rooms or hotels to show them.

This allows you to create sliders for best selling rooms or discounted rooms so that you do not have to add these rooms again and again. The system will automatically keep picking the best selling room and keep changing the slider accordingly.

So, it basically allows you to create 5 types of sliders.

New Room Slider: It will keep updating the new rooms in the slider that you create. You can decide the number of days a room will be considered new in the Preferences Tab –> Room Type

New Hotel Slider: It will keep updating the new rooms in the slider that you create. You enter the number of days a hotel will be considered new under the global configuration of this module. As shown above in the Slider Configuration Section.
