What are some the items you change in your test environments to make them standout from production, and how do you go about make these changes? I know you can change the PS LOGO, but what else do you change in your test environments? Colors, fonts, etc.
Any good examples, links, how-to's would be much appreciated.
Changing the colour schemes isn't too difficult. If you want to go down that route and need a helping hand I'll be happy to assist.
Other clients just put the environment name in the PIA Greeting. That's easy too: http://peoplesofttipster.com/2007/06/13/using-the-pia-welcome-message/
I've not heard of anyone changing fonts though.
kind regards

When you refresh a db, make sure you change tools tables that have dbname, web urls, and so on. The test db name will appear in the portal menu.
Changing the fonts would require changing all the style sheet definitions, a major headache. I guess you could go in and edit some basic style sheet attributes in app designer, PS_TEXT, et.al. and change those in a test environment. Maybe just changing a few would be enough.
Most test envs also open up security to some degree, simply because testers and developers likely need access to everything. So people's menus are going to be much larger than in production.
