Data Version Control

• Save data in a secure folder on a network drive with a subfolder indicating date data was received.
• e.g. "H:/ ... /Project Folder/secure_data/{{Sys.Date()}}/data_set.csv"
• The file data_date.txt refers to the date folder in the "secure_data" folder. When new data arrives, save it in a new date folder and update data_date.txt.
• Use bstfun::here_data() to locate current data folder based on data_date.txt in R.
• The SAS programs will locate the current data folder based on data_date.txt.
