Specify the startup screen

This part of the tutorial shows how to open the project settings and then specify which screen to display on startup.

• Use the Information tab to provide information that identifies the project (such as project description, revision number, Company name, Author's name, field equipment, and general notes).

• Use the Options tab to specify generic settings for the project, such as the Target System, Automatic Translation, Alarm history and Events, Default Database and Shared Tags.

• Use the Viewer tab to enable/disable the runtime desktop parameters.

• Use the Communication tab to specify communication parameters relating to the project in general.

• Use the Preferences tab to enable/disable warning messages when using the development application.

To specify the startup screen:

1. On the Project tab of the ribbon, in the Settings group, click Viewer.

   The Project Settings dialog is displayed with the Viewer tab selected.

2. In the Startup screen box, type main.scc.

   When you run the project, it will automatically display the main screen (or whichever screen you specify) first. You can specify a screen before you create it, but if the screen has been created, then you can also select it from the list.

3. Click OK.
