- Playback Settings > Demo Mode > Visual Properties category > Show Start Page setting
- Playback Settings > Practice Mode > Visual Properties category > Show Start Page setting
- Playback Settings > Test Mode > Visual Properties category Show Start Page setting

- Playback Settings > Free Presentation Mode > Visual Properties category > Show Start Page setting
Purpose
If this checkbox is selected then an additional screen is displayed at the start of playback, providing some basic instructions on the use of the mode. The format of this screen is not pretty and can't be customized, but the text is taken from the Playback Dictionary, so at least that can be changed if necessary.
The Start Page enabled via this setting should not be confused with the Intro Page macro, which can be included in simulations independently of this setting.
Use
The Start Page will be displayed until the user clicks the Play button. If you like your Demo mode to be completely automatic / 'hands-off' you probably won't want to use this option.
In Test mode, the Start Page will include the target score, along with some general instructions. This is the only way to get the target score displayed to the user before they start executing the simulation playback.
If you have Zoom for Desktop Playback set to Zoom to Fit then the Start Page will be scaled to take up the entire display area, which can look ugly.
