Administrators.
Installation
What Type of Salesforce Environment to Use
Before installing Provar Manager, the first decision is to choose what Salesforce org
to use.
There are three main options:
- Trial Org: This is a new separate Salesforce org created to trial Provar Manager, which comes pre-installed. They are usually available for a limited period (e.g., 30 days), after which you can upgrade it to a fully functioning org. Choose this option if you don’t already have a Salesforce org, do not need to integrate Provar Manager with any other Salesforce-native application, or do not want the trialing exercise to disturb the ongoing delivery activities in your existing Salesforce environments.
- Sandbox Org: This is a copy of the Production environment, usually created for testing and development purposes. Choose this option if you want to trial Provar Manager for an indefinite period or want to understand how it could integrate and work in the context of your existing Salesforce implementation.
- Production Org: This is a fully functional version of your Salesforce organization’s implementation, where all customizations, configurations, data, and settings are deployed for use by end-users. Provar Manager can only be trialed for a limited period (e.g., 30 days), so only choose this option if you are certain that you want to use Provar Manager or if it’s the only way of proving that it can integrate with other Salesforce-native apps which cannot be set up in Sandbox environments.
