Within SeeClickFix.com, we maintain a separate database for testing so that organizations can play around with the SeeClickFix 311 CRM software before going "live."
Why do we need two separate databases?
SeeClickFix 311 CRM maintains a separate database for testing, training, and draft account configuration. This database environment is known as "Integration" (or simply INT). INT is our sandbox test environment for partners to use outside of the public live database. This allows partners to test out features and configurations before exposing that to the public. The use of the INT environment is integral to the new account implementation process.
The live public environment is known as "Production" (or simply PROD). The production environment is used for live service for your account.
Each environment has a separate database. Described below is how these separate databases affect each component of the SeeClickFix 311 CRM system.
Users
A user account must be specifically added to each environment as passwords will be stored separately. Remember, if you change your password in one environment, the change will not be reflected in the other environments.
Account Configuration
Your account configurations in each environment are unique. In other words, if you change your configuration in one environment, that change will not automatically reflect in the other environment.
The INT environment has an old copy of the production database modified by any changes that were made directly in the system. When updates are made to our services and platform, this environment gets the same updates as production.
If you would like to use our INT environment as a sandbox for your organization, please contact your Partnership Manager or Support. They will need to set up the account for you and invite you to the INT (testing) environment.
Key Differences Between INT and PROD
While INT and PROD generally operate in the same ways, there are a few key differences in the environments that are important to note:
INT will only send emails to members of your account and email addresses ending in @seeclickfix.com.
Emails from INT will be labeled in the subject line with [SeeClickFix 311 CRM Integration].
