Figure 1 - Welcome Screen

The first time @RISK is started, the Welcome screen will open. The Welcome screen can also be opened manually from the @RISK Menu. The Welcome screen includes up-to-date news and announcements as well as several key shortcuts.

Unless it is disabled, the Welcome screen will open every time @RISK is started.

To disable the Welcome screen, uncheck the 'Show Welcome Screen at Startup' box at the bottom of the window, or go to General Preferences and uncheck the 'Show Welcome Screen' box.

To enable the Welcome screen after it has been disabled, go to General Preferences and check the 'Show Welcome Screen' box.

  • Carousel - The carousel rotates between links to various Palisade information pages, including Webinars and Custom Solutions.

  • Hover over the carousel to see its navigation; the dots in the lower left corner can be used to jump between slides.

  • Shortcut buttons - These buttons will launch the default browser and go to pages on the Palisade Web site. Shortcuts to Customer Case Studies and Training and Events pages.
