Property settings of Outsystems applications are done per module, per environment. That means you have to know which module contains which properties, endpoints, and timers. This is often included in release documentation and performed shortly after a release has been committed. Administrators must be available after the release and check all settings and correct them individually.
How robust are these release moments when it comes to properties, endpoints and timers? How sure are you that all properties have the correct values in the different environments? Are you tired of constantly switching tabs in your browser with Server Center of every environment to check your site properties, or change the URL of your consumed endpoints, or run your timers?
An important question is whether you can say with certainty whether your release documentation about the properties to be set is accurate? You often only find out during the release that you are still missing properties. Or worse, you find out after production release that there are endpoints that are still using the wrong URL.
How handy would it be to be able to view and manage all settings of all environments in 1 overview, where you can also prepare a new release in advance and implement it later with 1 push of a button. The Cool Configurator saves preparation time, prevents unnecessary mistakes, and provides you an overview. It also relieves the pressure on everyone involved in a release process.
