Return to Slicer 3.4 Documentation
The "Welcome" Module
General Information
Background: this module is set as Slicer's default startup module unless a user checks the box (in the User greeting panel) to supress this behavior. If the option to show the welcome module at startup is de-selected, Slicer will display the user-specified Home module on startup. The Data Module is selected as Home unless a user explicitly chooses another module.
