ACC could use a safe space (sandbox) to experiment and test out APIs, configurations, and workflows without affecting any production data. Ideally this would be a sandbox test project that all users have access to, with dummy users (Eddy Engineer, Annie Architect, etc), and a log to see emails the dummy users were sent.
1) this would be incredibly helpful to: a) let users test out tools to help speed up onboarding, b) testing tools to get the settings correct before roll-out, c) tweaking tool settings so they suit your needs. All of this without impacting the production environment and creating garbage logs. If people don't have a safe and convenient space to test things out, they're doing their testing in your production environment.
2) this is a feature that Procore has. Having been through the roll-out of that suite to a company whose staff were relatively new to contech, it was worth its weight in gold and dramatically improved adoption & buy-in.
This test project sandbox with dummy users gives you a safe space to try things out and see how things work. Only so much can be learned by reading the documentation and taking courses, most of it is learned by doing. The Procore sandbox is a bit of a beta test as well, and new or substantially changed features are rolled out to the sandboxes before they reach GA and are pushed out to the production projects. That helps IT teams see what's coming down the pike and lets them stay ahead of it.
Credit to @rohit_patilK24ML for bringing this up over in general discussion. This is a feature that would make ACC dramatically easier to roll out and use.
