What is an Alma Sandbox?
Answer
Sandboxes are the environments where we will innovate and experiment with Alma and Primo.
Sandboxes are a place to:
- Develop new workflows
- Train and certify staff
- View enhancements to Alma and Primo before they reach production. Sandboxes are updated 2 weeks in advance of production updates
SUNY contracted with Ex Libris for 5 premium sandboxes.
- A premium sandbox is replicated from production, this includes both data and configuration
- Up to 100,000 or 50% of the patron records (whichever less) can be added
- Up to 500,000 or 20% (whichever less) of additional resource records can be added
- Records can be published to Primo
- Premium sandboxes can be refreshed once per quarter
