EASA maintains a record of all versions of the spreadsheets that have been saved to your intranet or cloud, as well as recording who released each workbook and when. It also notes any cases of individual use, by application and user. Previously-completed cases can also be reopened as a starting point for new cases, if needed, and be tracked accordingly as part of the Excel audit trail. But since the actual spreadsheet is not being manipulated, the document will retain its integrity.
Access to these versions and their results is completely controlled, with all results automatically saved in a relational database, providing centralized data storage and an audit trail. This provides a greater capacity for searches, analytics, and reporting, without the need to aggregate spreadsheets or create special programs to do data analysis.
