Linked Environments
The Linked Environments feature allows to group any number of Environments as parent, child, or grandchild. This saves time when booking because when the parent Environment is booked (in the TEBR dialog, or the Enterprise, Project, or Independent Release dialog), the child and grandchild Environments are booked too. (To locate the linked environments in Plutora, see Location of Linked Environments)
For example, the screenshot below shows an Environment in the Environments tab of an Enterprise Release. The number of children and grandchildren are displayed. If the parent Environment was dragged and dropped into a Phase, the parent and its child and 3 grandchildren Environments will be booked too, booking a total of 4 Environments with a single drag and drop.
