Running a field service operation doesn’t leave much room for trial and error. Between technician schedules, customer expectations, and real-time job updates, even small mistakes can have big consequences. That’s why FieldAware is launching a fully enhanced Sandbox environment a safe, production-accurate space where teams can test, train, and refine processes without impacting live operations.
Whether you’re rolling out new workflows, onboarding new team members, or validating integrations, FieldAware Sandbox gives you the flexibility to experiment confidently.
What Is the FieldAware Sandbox?
The FieldAware Sandbox is an isolated environment that mirrors your live production instance. It includes all the tools, workflows, and features your team uses every day without the risk of affecting real data, jobs, or customers.
Organizations can use it to:
- Test new configurations
- Train new users
- Validate integrations
- Explore process improvements
- Experiment freely before rolling changes into production
And now, with a series of new enhancements, the Sandbox becomes even easier to access, administer, and rely on.
What’s New in the FieldAware Sandbox
We’ve taken customer feedback and turned it into a more powerful, user-friendly Sandbox experience, complete with:
Clear Sandbox Labeling Across Web & Mobile
A new banner/label ensures users always know when they’re working in Sandbox, protecting against mistakes and confusion.
Login With Your Production Credentials
No more juggling separate usernames or passwords. Users can log into Sandbox using the same credentials they use in production.
User Access Controls for Admins
Admins can now grant or restrict Sandbox access for each user directly from the user record or user list. This keeps testing secure and controlled.
QuickSearch & Web Notifications Now in Sandbox
Teams can test search workflows and notification behavior exactly as they would in production.
Simple User Invitations
Email-based invitations streamline access:
- Mobile users receive a Sandbox deep link
- Web users receive a direct Sandbox URL
Each email includes instructions on switching back to production
These enhancements turn Sandbox into a fully featured, intuitive environment tailored for real operational needs.
