  Default  
  Web part control ID: Serves as an identifier for the web part. This ID must be unique within the context of each page template. The value of this property may only contain alphanumeric characters and the underscore character ( _ ).  
  Web part title: Title of the web part displayed on the Design tab of CMS Desk and in on-site editing mode. If empty, the value of the Web part control ID property is used for this purpose.  
   

  SharePoint  
  SharePoint site URL: Specifies the URL of the SharePoint site that should be used or the direct URL of the requested web service (Eg. Lists.asmx, Imaging.asmx). If only the site URL is entered, then the web service used for data retrieval is automatically determined according to the value of the Mode property.  
  Username: Sets the username for authentication against the web service. If empty, the credentials specified in Site Manager -> Settings -> Integration -> Microsoft SharePoint will be used.  
  Password: Sets the password used for authentication against the web service. If empty, the credentials specified in Site Manager -> Settings -> Integration -> Microsoft SharePoint will be used.  
  List name: Name of the SharePoint list(or picture library) from which the list items/pictures should be loaded. This field is case sensitive!  
  Mode: Determines what kind of data will be loaded by the web part. This also automatically sets the appropriate web service to be used. The selected mode may affect the behaviour of some of the web part's other properties.  
   

  Display  
  Selected item querystring key name: If entered, items will be selected based on the presence of this key in the URL query string.  
  Selected item field name: Determines which field is used for item selection. Original field names are used here - without the ows_ prefix. This property is case sensitive!  
  Selected item field type: Used to specify the type of the itemID field. The two basic types are Text (for string values) and Counter (for IDs). More information can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms437580.aspx  
  Dataset fields: Specifies which of the retrieved fields should be converted to columns in the resulting dataset (column names must be separated by semicolons). If empty, all fields will be used.  
   

  Advanced  
  Row limit: Sets the maximum number of items (data rows) to be retrieved.  
  Query: Can be used to set a query to filter which rows should be loaded or change their order. It uses CAML syntax. A sample query could look like the following: <Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name="ID" /><Value Type="Counter">1</Value></Eq></Where></Query> More information can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd586530.aspx  
  View fields: Directly specifies the names of the SharePoint list fields that should be loaded. If empty all fields will be retrieved. Note: Certain fields will always be retrieved.  
   

  Debug  
  Show raw response: If enabled, the retrieved data will be displayed in raw CAML format. This can be useful for debugging purposes or when searching for the content of specific fields.  
   

  System settings  
  Cache minutes: Sets the number of minutes for which the content of the web part should remain cached before its latest version is reloaded from the database. If left empty, the value entered into the Site Manager -> Settings -> System -> Performance -> Cache content (minutes) setting will be used instead. If set to 0, caching will be disabled for the web part.  
  Cache item name: Sets the name of the cache key used for the content of the web part. If not specified, this name is generated automatically based on the site, document path, Web part control ID and current user. A cache key can be shared between multiple web parts with the same content on different pages in order to avoid keeping redundant data in the memory.  
  Cache dependencies: Contains a list of cache keys on which the partial cache of the web part depends. When the specified cache items change, the partial cache of the web part is deleted. Each line may contain a single item only. If the 'Use default cache dependencies' box is checked, the default dependencies will be used, which include all possible object changes that could affect the specific web part.  
   

  Performance  
  Disable view state: Indicates if view state should be disabled for this web part.  
  Disable macros: If checked, macros contained in the values of the web part's properties will no longer be resolved.
