Managing Environments

Harmony uses environments to manage and organize related projects. Using environments allows you to organize your production projects by their nature or type.

If your projects center around episodic and commercial types of work, you can create two environments. For example, one environment called commercials and the other called the_show. Then you can insert the jobs that relate to each type of project. When you want to work on a commercial project, open the commercials environment and select the commercial job you need. Similarly, if you want to work on an episodic project, open the environment called the_show.

When you are ready to remove old environments, you can delete them from the database. However, in order to prevent accidental loss of data, you can only delete an empty environment (one that contains no jobs, images, or palette information).
