This page serves as your main dashboard, offering a clear overview of your test environment activity and performance metrics based on your demo transactions.

The header in the Tieto E-commerce Gateway Sandbox provides essential navigation tools and user context, with certain limitations specific to the sandbox environment.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You will always see “Sandbox Mode” active in the environment switcher. The option to switch to Live Mode is disabled. Additionally, a persistent orange banner is displayed in the header, clearly indicating that you are operating within the sandbox environment.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The bell icon for notifications is also present in the header, but it is non-functional in sandbox mode—no alerts or messages will be displayed.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The language selector is visible, but only English is available for use. Switching languages is disabled in the sandbox.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Clicking on the user profile icon reveals a dropdown menu where you can view your profile details and log out of your session.
