At Drieam, we are constantly working to improve Eduframe. Are you curious about the changes coming to Eduframe?

We maintain a separate environment where the coming version of Eduframe can be seen and tested. This is the staging environment. The name we use for the regular Eduframe environment is production environment.

Staging environment

Any new Eduframe features, bug fixes and other improvements will be available on staging before becoming publicly available in the production environment. 

Minor improvements will only be available for a few days or less before they become available on production. 

Bigger features, like a new portal for students, might be available on staging for over a month. 

Sometimes we refer to features being available on staging for testing - in the form of a 'beta' - in the Eduframe newsletter. Via the newsletter, we would like to inform you on the possibility to check out and test a new (beta) feature.

If you are not yet receiving the Eduframe newsletter and are interested, let us know! 

How to access staging?

First, if you are interested in using the Eduframe staging environment, send us a message and we will give you access.

Once given access, staging can be accessed using the URL structure below. When requiring access we will send you the exact URLs and inform you on when your account is expected to be copied over from production to staging.

URL

{customer-name} needs to be replaced with the name of your Eduframe account / subdomain.

Login credentials

Once given access, you can use the same credentials you use for the Eduframe production environment to log in on the Eduframe staging environment.

Important remarks

• Staging should only be used for testing; it is not meant for regular use. Your data on staging can be removed and/or overwritten at any time. No rights can be derived from using staging.
• The data on staging can be refreshed or overwritten on request. So the data on staging is not persisted forever and can be lost at any time. This means, whenever a refresh takes place, the staging environment will be overwritten
• with the production environment. 
• Since staging is the latest and greatest version of Eduframe, which is not released yet, you might encounter a bug or two. If you do encounter a bug, we'd still be more then happy to hear from you.
• No emails can be sent from Eduframe on staging.
• When you change your credentials on production, these will be transferred over to staging when the data refresh takes place.
