Working with Environments

Environments are displayed:

In a drop-down menu in the upper left pane of the Topography workbench. To the right you have direct access to the following actions:
- Display and edit the environment properties.
- Print a summary of the current environment.
- Create a new environment.
- Delete the current environment.
In a drop-down menu in the Integration-Services workbench navigation pane (Infrastructure tab of the Classic view only).

You can only view and select Environments to which you have been authorized access. When you select an Environment, only the objects contained in that Environment are displayed.

Note: If you do not select an Environment, all objects are displayed in read-only mode.
