Analyzing a Case

To analyze a case:

1. Open Case Runner.

   If Case Runner is not visible, select View > AF Case Runner from the menu.

2. Click on the buttons in Case Runner to execute the Case analysis.

   Use the following table as a guide for the steps you want to run.

The Case Runner window provides a series of buttons with checkboxes that allow you to run each step of the Case analysis individually or run all when you click the 'Run' button. The following table provides a view of each button without the button text and checkboxes. The display of the button text and checkboxes is controlled by settings in the 'Case Runner Properties' window. See Configuring Case Runner for more information.
