Environment tags are a way of managing which version of the dashboard or report builder is being shown in your application. When you embed, you can pass in an environment field which corresponds to an environment tag. The embedded component will then render the resource associated with the provided environment tag. ### Creating new environment tags By default, your account has a `production` and `staging` environment tag. You may create any number of tags to manage as many environments as you may have. Creating a new development environment To create a new environment, click "Add new Environment Tag" and then configure the new tag. Read more about publishing a version to a specific environment [here](/general-features/version-control/publishing-a-new-version). ### Special environment tags for Dashboards Some environment tags have special behavior for emails and the customer portal. If a dashboard version is tagged with `portal`, then that version will be used by the customer portal. If a dashboard version is tagged with `email`, then that version will be used by for scheduled email reports.
