The Options tab of the Run Preferences dialog sets a variety of run preferences. For general instructions, see Setting Run Preferences.
The Options tab of the Run Preferences dialog has these settings:
Store assumption values for sensitivity analysis — Stores the randomly generated values used during the simulation for display while running. To see those values during a simulation, select this option and the appropriate Window preference for each assumption to display. Values can also be exported to a spreadsheet after the simulation using the Extract Data command. This setting also generates sensitivity data during simulations. The sensitivity chart can display this information to show how much each assumption influences a particular forecast. For more information on the sensitivity chart, see Understanding and Using Sensitivity Charts. The sensitivity chart is not available unless you select this option before you run a simulation.
Enable correlations — Activates any defined correlations between assumptions.
Run user-defined macros — Runs any user-defined macros as part of the simulation process. For details, see Running User-Defined Macros.
Show control panel — When checked, activates the Crystal Ball Control Panel. For more information, see The Crystal Ball Control Panel.
Leave control panel open on reset — When checked, continues to display the Control Panel after a simulation is reset.
Alerts level — Controls the display of warnings and other alerts, mostly reset prompts, at a global level:
Show all alerts — Displays all alerts.
Show only important alerts — Displays only warning alerts, not reset prompts.
Don't show any alerts — Does not display any alerts except those regarded as essential.
“Do not show” checkboxes — When Reset is clicked, prompts to clear all selected Do not show again checkboxes in dialogs that offer that setting; Yes clears the checkboxes and dialogs are displayed again when appropriate.
Enable accessibility options — When checked, activates a number of user interface enhancements of special interest to individuals with visual impairments and other disabilities. See Activating and Using Accessibility Mode.
