MetaLocator provides sandbox accounts to allow users to explore and evaluate the platform’s features in a non-production environment. These accounts are designed for testing, demonstrations, and training purposes, but they come with certain limitations compared to fully licensed production accounts.
Purpose of Sandbox Accounts
Sandbox accounts are ideal for:
Developing and testing custom interfaces or integrations
Training new team members on how to use MetaLocator
Previewing how MetaLocator features work without impacting real data
