Does anyone know if there is a test environment for e-RS where end-users are able to familiarise themselves with the system?

We currently are in the process of setting up an integration, but the sandbox we have access to is for developer activities only.

Hey @Tim_Morgan - The Integration (INT) environment is best placed for that.

Not sure where you are in the onboarding process but you request access in step 2.2

Thanks @zubeir.tai - so we will get access once we have completed the “Digital Onboarding” section in the Developer Hub?

@Tim_Morgan - No, that is separate. You should have been progressed into INT, is that outstanding?
