Copy an Application

How to successfully set up a new Test Environment for an existing Knack application

• Notify the Apps Team using the Slack channel atd-knack.

• Log into Knack Builder using the Transportation Data Enterprise account (Knack Builder – Primary Account) using 1Password.

• Search for the application you want to copy.

• From the ... icon dropdown, select Duplicate App.

• Change the new app name and pause tasks (if applicable). Knack will automatically append Copy to the end of the name. Edit this out and use the format PRODUCTION or TEST | DD MMM YYYY | [APPLICATION NAME].

• The new duplicate app will show up on the list with a yellow dot next to the name

• Copying the app will take time. Knack will send an email to the Transportation Data Enterprise account when done. You may want to let the service desk primary know that you’re expecting the email confirmation from Knack.

• After app has finished copying, add builders to the new duplicate app Select Manage Builders and add Apps team for builder access

• Add the new environment to the DTS Portal listing of applications. Select the PRODUCTION environment you have copied and Add Environment.

• Add the details about the new environment. To find the Application ID, go to the app > Settings > API and Code.

• IF APPLICABLE: Delete the old environment from Knack and add Date Deleted to the DTS Portal record.
