This option lets you create either of the following:
- a new correction or development environment in the current version manager,
- a production environment for a new version manager.
Access
To create an environment in a version manager, select the Create option from the context-sensitive menu for the Type - Environments in the version manager tab in a production environment's Environment attributes dialog box.
Data entry
Environment name
