When an Excel EASAP runs, a spreadsheet is loaded and an Excel process is allocated on an Excel Server.

Typically an EASAP User will modify inputs via his or her browser and output cells or charts will be displayed in the browser window; typically the spreadsheet is not actually shown (it is 'Hidden').

To watch the running spreadsheet for debugging purposes (do not change any cells) set Visibility: Visible

This feature is only available on an Excel Server run as an application (ie. from <EASAROOT>\tomcat\bin ) rather than as a service.
