Ribbon Commands on the Forensics Tab

Use the ribbon commands to perform such tasks as add additional fields, create a SmartGantt filter, and publish (export) the results.

Until a forensic analysis is performed, the Analysis, SmartGantt, and Publish menu groups are the only visible groups on the tab.
