  • Environment Type — The lifecycle stage (Development, QA, UAT, etc.).
  • Template Version — The telemetry template assigned to this environment.

    DEVELOPMENT environments may be assigned any template version, including DRAFT versions. All other environments may only be assigned published and approved (PUBLISHED) template versions.
