Configuring environments

Environment configuration determines which Power Platform environments are included in governance, which require compliance checks, and which should be monitored for inactivity.

View environment list

After onboarding a tenant, Impliancy displays all discovered environments.
For each entry you can review:

• Name
• Type (PROD / Sandbox / Developer / etc.)
• Compliance status (see Configuring Compliance for more details)
• Owner/deputies
• Other environment details

Environment configuration options

Clicking on the eye icon () reveals more information about the selected environment. By clicking on the tab Preferences you'll see 3 options:

1. Include in inventory

• Enables artifact indexing for this environment
• When disabled, apps, flows, bots, and desktop flows are ignored and won't be visible in the overview table
• Common use case: exclude DEV environments

2. Compliance check

• Requires all artifacts in the environment to pass compliance
• Owners must complete compliance forms
• Useful for production and business-critical environments

3. Inactivity monitoring

• Detects unused artifacts
• Sends notifications to owners
• Supports follow up actions, including auto deletion

Example: recommended setup

• PROD: Inventory ON, Compliance ON, Inactivity ON
• Sandbox: Inventory ON, Compliance OFF, Inactivity ON (optional)
• DEV: Inventory OFF, Compliance OFF, Inactivity OFF
• Trial: Inventory ON (optional), Compliance OFF, Inactivity ON (optional)
