    The PCA incorporates various functions and validation designed to assist users in minimizing errors. In cases where inaccuracies arise, the system promptly notifies the user, suggesting specific areas within the program that require updating.

    In its recent development, the PCA has introduced support for events and tracker programs. To maintain a well-organized process, the implementation of validation mechanisms is essential.
