Introducing Leapfin’s New Sandbox: Safely Test Rules Without Impacting Live Data

We’re excited to announce the launch of Leapfin’s new sandbox feature. As part of our commitment to empowering finance teams with safer, more efficient workflows, this feature is designed to help you freely modify and test your accounting and enrichment rules without negatively impacting your live production data.

Gone are the days of worrying about errors or live data complications when building new rules. With the Leapfin sandbox, you can make changes in a controlled environment, ensuring everything works as expected before going live.

What is the sandbox feature in Leapfin?

Leapfin’s sandbox is a secure, virtual environment that allows finance teams to safely test and modify their accounting and enrichment rules. It’s seamlessly integrated into your existing Leapfin experience, letting you toggle between sandbox and production environments without the hassle of maintaining two separate instances.

Key benefits of Leapfin's sandbox feature 

Here’s how the sandbox will improve your rule-building process and confidence:

  1. Enhanced safety, control, and compliance: Safely test rules in the sandbox without the risk of affecting live data or closed books. This includes ensuring your changes meet your organization’s compliance standards before going live. 
  2. Streamlined workflow: No need for separate logins or environments. Simply toggle between production and sandbox within your existing Leapfin account.
  3. Improved change management: Collaborate with colleagues to test and experiment with automation rules in a controlled environment, reducing errors and increasing confidence in your changes.

How to use the Leapfin sandbox

Using the sandbox is as easy as toggling between your production and sandbox environments within Leapfin. Here’s a quick guide to get started:

Step 1: Access the sandbox by toggling from your production environment to the sandbox within your Leapfin dashboard.

Step 2: Add or modify your accounting or enrichment rules as needed.

Step 3: Test your rules in the sandbox. Invite colleagues to review and verify the changes.

Step 4: Once you’re confident with your changes, push them to production with a single click.
