**We are self-hosted**
Can anyone help me come up with a user friendly distinction between Sandbox and TEST? In my previous work experience we only had one - it was called "Training" - and we used it to train some users and as a Sandbox as well. More often we used it as a Sandbox. Now that I am using Tessitura I struggle with defining the difference between the two environments.
Thanks,

Hi Ashley,
As Daniel pointed out, there are multiple ways to do this. In our case, we have a test environment that is automatically refreshed from live once per week. This gives a place for our staff to try things out on fairly up-to-date data. We also have special dev/test environments that we fire up for specific projects - we currently have up to 7 of these. (It's rare they are all active at the same time though.) This allows us to refresh the Tessitura database based on the needs of a project without impacting other work. Note that we do not use all components in these environments. For example, we only have two Tessitura Analytics environments (live and test).
Best of luck to you!
David
I'd like to know how you setup your automatic weekly refresh. I am currently doing a manual monthly refresh of Test. Can you give me any information on automating that process?
