Environments

An environment is a container you use to provision and configure Microsoft Dragon Copilot capabilities. After you create the environment, you can provision Dragon Copilot in it, set up your organization hierarchy and groups, manage clinical app connectors, and configure product settings and library items. An environment can have only one instance of each Dragon Copilot capability. For more information on provisioning, see: Provision Dragon Copilot.

You create an environment in the context of a Microsoft Entra tenant that's bound to a geographic location, such as the United States. When you provision Dragon Copilot in an environment, the solution routes only to data centers in that geographic location.

Create an environment

You can create different environments based on your business needs. For example, you create a test environment and use it to test how your users are using a specific feature before rolling it out to the entire organization as part of the production environment. Each environment allows only one instance of a Dragon capability to be provisioned. If your organization requires more than one instance of a Dragon Copilot capability, due to different configurations or different instances, you must create multiple environments.

Prerequisites

• To access Dragon admin center and create an environment, you need to be a User administrator, Dragon administrator, or a Global administrator in your Microsoft 365 tenant.

• In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Admin centers > All admin centers > Dragon admin center.

To create an environment

1. In the Management section of the navigation pane, select Environments.

   

2. Select Create environment/Add environment.

   

3. Select the environment type (Test or Production), and enter a name and description. You can change the name or description later, if needed. You can't change the environment type once it's set.

   

4. Select Save. The new environment is listed on the Environments page with the status Active.

Environment details

To view all available environments, select Environments in the Management section of the navigation pane. A green checkmark icon indicates the default environment. You can have only one default environment, and you must use it to provision and configure Dragon Copilot. The first environment you create is set as the default environment, but you can change this default when you create more environments.

To see the details for an environment, select it from the list on the Environments page. You can see which Dragon Copilot capabilities are provisioned and which are available for provisioning.

To make changes to an environment, select Edit at the top of the page.

Change the default environment

The default environment defines the features available to users when they sign in to the Dragon Copilot app, and it helps your users have a consistent experience. For example, if you have a test environment and a production environment, you might want to set the production environment as the default. To change the default environment, follow these steps:

1. In the Management section of the navigation pane, select Environments.
2. Select the button next to the environment name.
3. Select Set as default at the top of the page.

Delete environment

If you no longer need an environment, follow these steps:

1. In the Management section of the navigation pane, select Environments.
2. Select the button next to the environment name.
3. Select Delete at the top of the page.

You can't delete your default environment unless it's the only environment available. When you delete an environment, you also remove the organization hierarchy, product settings, and library items defined for your instance of Dragon capabilities within that environment.
