Open Acceptance Runs → NEW in Thermal →
What it's for
New acceptance run starts a run from a fixed scenario template. The moment you create it, the template's steps are copied onto the run — snapshotted, so if the underlying template script changes later it can't silently rewrite a run that's already in progress or already signed off.
Reach it from New run on the Acceptance runs
list, at /acceptance-runs/new.
Tabs
The page has no tabs. It is one short form.
Panels and controls
- Label names the run — something you'll recognize later, like "OKC D4 UAT — Aug 2026."
- Scenario template picks which fixed set of steps this run tests, shown with its version.
- Customer is optional at creation — leave it as Staff only for an internal dry run, or pick a customer if you plan to publish the run to their portal later. A run can't be published without one.
- Create run snapshots the chosen template's steps onto the new run and opens it. Cancel returns to the list without creating anything.
What it accepts
| Field | Format | Required | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Label | Free text | Yes | |
| Scenario template | Pick a template | Yes | |
| Customer | Pick a customer | No | Required later, only to publish to the portal |
How to configure it
- The set of scenario templates offered here is fixed content, not a per-shop setting.
- Whether the finished run can be published to a customer portal depends on the Customer you pick here, not on a separate setting.
Who can see it
This screen sits behind the Settings area.
Owners and office managers can create a run. Dispatchers and technicians cannot. The gate is checked on the server, not just hidden in the sidebar, so a direct link does not get around it.
The full role matrix is on Roles & permissions.
