Branches in CLDY

Currently the only environment where we can do limited testing and which is quite costly to maintain is Sandbox. In ApptioOne TBM Studio there is possibility to do Brach which is exact copy of the system. In that copy we can do conf changes and check the results and if all is fine merge it with the Prod. In CLDY we do not have that and we are forced to do limited testing in Sandbox which is far away from the real deal or test changes directly in Prod which is significant risk.

    Thanks, I hope it gets traction as currently the Branch system in Apptio One TB  Studio provides much better testing and coverage than CLDY, plus business continuity

    Thanks for the submission - Right now we don't have any plans around introducing branching but we'll monitor this to see what sort of traction it gets with the broader user base!
