    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    I think this cannot be achieved so far, scrolling bar cannot be controlled with formula. You need to scroll manually.

     

    If you need this feature, please consider to add an idea below:

    I found a way to do this.
    Set a context variable onvisible of gallery for (varshowrecordnum: 1)
    I set a timer to duration 3 seconds. and set timer repeat to true
    OnTimerEnd set a context variable (varshowrecordnum) to increment by 1. 
    Then you set a gallery to display the items pointing to:  Index(yourdatasource, varshowrecordnum)
    this will start by showing the first record then every 3 seconds move to the next indexed item in data source.
