Who is an EASAP Author?
An EASAP Author should be:
- An experienced user of an underlying software application
- Knowledgeable about the needs of the user community within their organization

An EASAP Author does not need:
- Software development experience
- Training in GUI programming (eg. Java, C++, HTML)

When to Create an EASAP
Where there is a repetition of effort, an EASAP will help your process.
Create an EASAP when there is…
- A recurring need to perform similar analysis
- A potential, or an existing User base
…We identify decision-makers who need to access advanced software - A commonly used software application with a complicated interface that could be streamlined
- A need to retrieve, modify and resubmit prior analyses
…We create a functional archive of past runs
Obtain an Author-level User ID
