Below you can find useful hints & tips which will help you in working with Leon.

Sandbox environment indication

A Sandbox is a place, where you can safely play with the system. If you want to test some settings or schedules, or perform training for a new employee, without the risk of making unwanted changes in the production environment, a Sandbox is a right place to do it.

You can access your own Sandbox at https://sandbox.leon.aero/. Login credentials are exactly the same as for the production environment.

A few details to be remembered regarding the Sandbox feature:

• Sandbox works with the copy of your production database, refreshed daily at 03:30 UTC
• No data will be transferred from Sandbox to production. Any changes done in the Sandbox will be overwritten the next day
• No e-mail will be sent out from Sandbox
• Some files uploaded to the production account cannot be downloaded in Sandbox (e.g., Journey Log or Checklist notes attachments), but you can still upload new files there.

Enabling development access

While working in Sandbox, you will always see a yellow button in the menu indicating that you are currently in the Sandbox environment. This helps you easily identify your current environment and avoid mistakes.

You can also create a user that will have access only to the Sandbox environment. This is especially helpful when you are working with 3rd party developers who do not necessarily need production-level access. You can do this by entering the particular user Full Edit Mode and marking the checkbox next to the “Development access” label under the “Account restrictions” section.

If the account was newly created, the credentials will work in the sandbox environment the next day after 03:30 UTC, following the database update.

Each created and saved report in WIZARD panel can be edited and re-arranged in many ways. Leon users can decide what columns should get displayed in the report and in what order, they can choose period of time for each report and name each report the way they want.

It is possible to send schedules from REPORT WIZARD to particular recipients in pre-defined periods of time. Each stored report can be sent out frequently by using this functionality. Leon will send an email with 2 files attached: Excel & PDF.

'Edit template' function allows editing the report in HTML and creating an alternative and more complex version of the same report including options such as:

• changing the headers in the report
• highlighting data
• sorting the report according to aircraft flights
• implementing charts
• and many more

It is also possible to show various charts in WIZARD REPORT. You can show various charts, by using QuickChart Documentation web service that generates chart images, which are suitable for embedding in email, SMS, chatbots, and other formats.
