When users create or run a Visual Insight Dashboard for the first time, they are presented with a Welcome screen page called "Getting Started" which has a short demo video of the Visual Isight features. Users can manually check to not display this page again. In some cases, if videos are blocked on the network then the page will have a blank video.

For reasons such as these, administrators would want to disable the Welcome page from appearing at all.
