Hi,

How can we add a splash screen to a Perspective project?  
I have a GIF file that I would like to display when the client opens the Ignition project, before the main view loads.

Is there a recommended way to implement this?

Thank you for your support.

Can you just make a new page with the gif on it, show that on launch and then nav when it's done playing?
