Tiles List
LIST URL
Remember copying the list URL during step 1? Time to paste it! In the List URL is where all created tiles will be stored and read from.
Without this value, the web part cannot function and you will see an error message.😞 So make sure the URL you are pasting is correct and everything is nice and tight.
Here are a few recommendations and heads up:
-
Use relative paths for this field. So instead of using a url like "https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/Home/Lists/Tiles”, you should use something like “/sites/Home/Lists/Tiles”. This will ensure that the web part will work regardless of how you’re accessing the site.
-
For some versions of SharePoint, you may get the following error: ‘Object doesn't support property or method 'getList'’. This error can be fixed by adding a question mark followed by the name of the list at the end of the url. e.g. “…/Lists/Tiles/” would become “…/Lists/Tiles/?Tiles List”. It is also recommended to try this fix when the web part does not work and you’ve validated that the url is valid.
Grid Settings
GRID SIZE
BindTuning tiles are displayed in a grid view. Here you can define the sizing of the grid. Bigger grid sizes will result in bigger tiles whereas smaller grids have smaller tiles. You can choose between Tiny or Large.
TILES SPACING
We also give you the option of setting the spacing between the tiles. You can choose from 0 to 10 pixels.
TILES ALIGNMENT
You have two options here. You can choose a Grid alignment, if you want the tiles to be displayed in a perfect alignment (Windows style), or you can pick a Wall alignment, if you want the tiles to be displayed according to their content proportions (Pinterest style).
GRID SIZE
Activating the Locked option prevents the tiles from making small adjustments to their size in order to fill all horizontal space available. By default, tiles will always attempt to fill as much horizontal space as possible inside the web part container by adjusting their position and size.

Web Part Messages
WEB PART ERRORS

You can, however choose when you want to message to appear. If you want it to appear only on edit mode, if you don't want it to appear at all, or if you want the message to always appear regardless the view you are at the moment. By default, these messages only appear on edit mode.
