How do I open a case that's not on my Workspace?
A case's database icon appears on the Workspace after you've opened it for the first time.
Choose File > Application > Open, or right click in the Workspace.
In either case, choose Open Application.

When you open a case for the first time, you see this screen; click Start MasterFile to dismiss the About tab which leaves you at the tab for the newly opened case.
