Startup page

Overview

The startup page is shown whenever you start ANY-maze and whenever you close an open experiment. This page allows you to either quickly load a recent experiment or create a new one.

Figure 1. The left side of the startup page lists recently accessed experiments, while on the right are recently accessed protocols - selecting one will create a new experiment with the protocol loaded.

Opening recent experiments

The left side of the startup page lists experiments you have recently accessed. The number of experiments listed will be whatever value you have set in the Options > Filing page (the default is 20), although if this list is longer than will fit down the page, then the list will simply be truncated.

Of course, you might want to open an experiment which isn't listed - perhaps one you last worked on some time ago - and in this case you should select the last option in the list: Open other experiments.

If you want to remove an experiment from the list, you simply need to right-click on the relevant item and select Remove this experiment from the list on the menu which appears.

Creating a new experiment

The right side of the page shows a list of protocol 'documents'. This always starts with a document titled New empty experiment and then includes one document for each recently used protocol. Clicking the New empty experiment document will, as you'd expect, create a new experiment with nothing in it; clicking any of the other documents will create a new experiment with the relevant protocol already loaded.

As you can see in figure 1, above, the protocol documents include a graphic which is intended to make it easier for you to find a specific protocol. The graphic shown is specified when you set up the protocol itself; details can be found here.

If you want to remove a document from the list (perhaps because you don't expect to use that protocol any more), then you should right-click on the document and select Remove this protocol from the list on the menu which appears.
