Sandboxes and personal workspaces

As the Planning Analytics administrator, you should understand some technical items when using Sandboxes and Personal Workspaces in your Planning Analytics environment.
  • Memory usage for Sandboxes and Personal Workspaces
  • Managing the files and folders that support Sandboxes and Personal Workspaces
  • Database configuration parameters for Sandboxes and Personal Workspaces

The sandbox feature lets you create your own Personal Workspaces or Sandboxes separate from your base data. A sandbox is not a copy of the base data, but is a separate overlay or layer of your own data values that you have entered on top of the base data.

The new data values that you enter in a Sandbox or Personal Workspace are not saved to the base data until you explicitly commit the changed data in the sandbox to the base data. This behavior is different than working directly in base data where any new data values that you enter are written directly back to the database.
