Creating a Sandbox
Forking a Production Run
1
Open any production run in PENDING or IN PROGRESS status
Closed runs can also be sandboxed for analysis, but cannot be promoted back to production.
2
Click Create Sandbox
The platform creates a deep copy of the run: patterns, order allocations, and machine snapshot are all duplicated.
3
Name the sandbox
Give it a descriptive name so you can identify it among multiple sandboxes of the same run.
What Gets Copied
- All patterns with their width slots and repetition counts
- Order allocations (which order goes to which pattern)
- Machine configuration snapshot at time of original run creation
- Run metadata (customer references, scheduled date)
What does not get copied: waste events logged against the live run (sandboxes start with zero waste events), and closed/dispatched status.
Naming & Organisation
Each run can have up to 10 active sandboxes simultaneously. Sandboxes are listed in the run detail view under a collapsible Sandboxes panel. You can archive sandboxes you no longer need without deleting them. They remain visible in the archive for audit purposes.
