Create, Open, and Pin Cases

To get started in Sanction you create a case. It is highly recommended that when you create cases on your local computer, rather than saving them to a sever. Working of a case file that is held on a server can cause the backup file, which Sanction creates automatically, to become corrupt.

Once you create a case, the next time you open Sanction you can find your case listed in Recent Cases list, which is available from the Open area of the FILE tab. If you know you will be working on the case and you do not want it to be replaced on the Recent Cases list, you can pin cases to the Recent Cases list.
