SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Does anyone have any tips or best practices to make it clearly visible when an admin is in Production vs. Development? Obviously next to user name we can see Production ...

Hello!

We’re on the cloud and so asked OS support to make this update for us:
6-24-2021%208-30-01%20AM

In excel it looks like this:
6-24-2021%208-31-11%20AM

We also name all our dev apps DEV_ and then the 2 digit month, 2 digit day and 2 digit year we made the copy from prod. For example, if I copied prod today for a dev app, it would be named DEV_062421.

Hope that’s useful!

    Does this work in Azure hosted and when your Dev and Prod are just different applications in the same instance? In other words does each application have its own Environment color or does that update the instance?

      it works in azure, you just submit a ticket to OS support (if they are your hosting provider)

      it is by instance. all applications in the environment would have the same color and environment name.

    Hi Nicole

    So if I understand you well, they changed the name of the application to development? 

    Thank you

      Hi Nouria, 

      We name our own apps when they're created/copied (we always copy from PROD) and we name the dev apps with the prefix of DEV. For example: DEV_061522

        Thank you Nicole

        We will thus ask for the colour to be changed- this is a hosted environment so users can see the difference as well.
