Multiple sliders per page [#2145595]

I would like to know how to have "Multiple sliders per page" as noted in the Flexslider features list.

I have attempted to do this as follows but have been unsuccessful:

- created a Content Type called Case Study. For this Content Type I have added image fields for the slides

- in Manage Display, set the image field format to Flexslider [Option set: Default, Image style: None (original image)]

- create 2 nodes of Content Type = Case Study with uploaded images

This gives me 2 nodes that each displays its own Flexslider which works great.

When I try to create a View of these nodes, the Flexslider does not show up. I only see the content for the Title and Body fields.

Here is the configuration for my View:

Format
Format: Unformatted list | Settings = Add views row classes
Show: Fields | Settings = Provide default field wrapper elements

Fields
Content: Title
Content: Body
Content: Case Study Gallery Image [Formatter: flexslider, Option set: Default, Image style: None (original image)]

Filter criteria
Content: Published (Yes)
Content: Type (= Case Study)
open

Sort criteria
Weight: Weight (asc)

It seems like I'm configuring a Flexslider of Flexsliders which I don't want but I don't understand how to create a View that simply displays the nodes that contain the Flexsliders. Any help on how to create this View will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Would still like to know if "Multiple sliders per page" is possible with Flex Slider. If so, how does one do this? With a View? With Field Group? With Field Collection? With Entity Collection?

Anyone?

Here is what I did to get Views to display multiple Flex Sliders in 1 View.

Created Content Type and added images formatted as flexslider.

Created a page View as follows:

Format
Format: Unformatted list | Settings
Show: Display Suite | Settings [Default view mode: Full content]

Filter criteria
Content: Published (Yes)
Content: Type (= Case Study)
open

Sort criteria
Weight: Weight (asc)

So I really just needed to select Display Suite to make this work.

What was confusing me is that the View preview DOES NOT WORK. Even though the flex slider is shown on the page, it does not appear in the View preview so I'm going to submit this bug as a separate issue.
