Handling Output Records › Output Pull-Down

Output Pull-Down

This pull-down allows you to access two different groups of records:

• Option 1 accesses the records you can edit (the DEVELOPMENT version).
• Option 2 lets you look at those records you've committed (TEST and PROD versions).

Committed records can't be edited as is. To make changes to committed records, you must first copy them to the DEVELOPMENT version (see The COPY Option).
