To create and use a sandbox, first an app admin must enable the feature in App Properties.
Access to this feature can change based on your Quickbase plan. Learn more about feature availability and plans in Quickbase capabilities.
Enable a sandbox
-
Open the app for which you want to activate a sandbox.
-
Select App settings, and then select App Properties.
-
In the Advanced Settings section, select Enable change management through a dedicated sandbox.
-
Select Save. On the global bar after the app name, a button appears labeling the live app. This button includes a drop down menu to manage a sandbox for the app.
Note: "Live" describes the app currently in use. When you click on the arrow, you will see available sandboxes listed. Read Creating a sandbox to learn more.
Note:Apps that have sandbox enabled are only listed once on your My apps page. You open the app and switch between the live app and a sandbox, rather than having a sandbox listed separately on My apps.
Disable a sandbox
If you decide not to use a sandbox to manage changes, you can disable the feature entirely:
-
Open the live app for which you want to disable the sandbox feature.
-
Select the Live button, and then select Disable sandbox feature.
-
In the confirmation dialog, click the Yes, Disable button. This will deactivate the feature and delete any sandbox you have started.
