    • Setting Speed Preferences — Determine whether a simulation runs in Normal, Demo, or Extreme   (if available) and set additional speed control options.

    • Setting Options Preferences — Set a number of run preferences, including whether sensitivity data and assumption values are stored, whether assumption correlations are activated, whether user macros are run, whether the Crystal Ball Control Panel opens, and whether advanced accessibility settings should be switched on.

    • Setting Statistics Preferences — Determine how Crystal Ball displays percentiles and activates process capability features.
