# Display Setup

The Display Setup link in the sidebar takes you the page which administers the public-facing screen. Click the Open Display Window link at the top of this page to open the public-facing screen in a new browser window. You can then drag this new browser window onto a second screen, such as a projector or external monitor facing the players. Full-screen or resize this new browser window as necessary.

## View selection - if in doubt, leave it on Auto

The menu on the Display Setup page shows you all the views you can choose from. If you want the least-effort solution, leave it on the default setting, "Auto".

If you want the public-facing window to show a particular screen, you can select it from the list of screen modes and click "Switch to this screen mode". The public-facing window will then show only that screen until you specify otherwise.

In Auto mode, Atropine uses the following rules to decide which screen to show:

- If the latest round has had fixtures generated but no scores have been filled in yet, we display the Fixtures screen.
- Otherwise, if the latest round has had some but not all of its scores filled in, we display the Standings / Videprinter screen.
- If in the latest round all games have had their scores filled in, we display the Standings / Table Results screen.

Auto mode never shows other screens such as the High Scores or Overachievers screens, so if you want to show those you need to switch to them manually using the Display Setup menu.
