For Core UI, update System Properties → Basic Configuration UI16 and set the Page header caption to DEV, the browser-tab title to Company – DEV, and optionally assign a distinctive header colour.

For Next Experience Unified Navigation, the UI16 Page header caption does not provide the same persistent header label. Use a non-dismissible UX Banner Announcement associated with Unified Navigation, and optionally create a DEV-specific theme or logo through Theme Builder. This is preferable to modifying the OOTB navigation component and provides a clear, upgrade-safe distinction between DEV, TEST, UAT and PROD.

If it is helpful, please mark it as helpful and accept the correct solution by referring to this solution in the future, it will be helpful to them.

Hi @Debasis Pati 

You need to create different banner logos or images and add them separately to each instance [is system property]  so it is clear which environment you are using.

Also, as a daily user, I recommend using the Chrome Extension Environment Marker, as it helps clearly identify the current instance and avoids working in the wrong environment.

Hello Debasis,

You can achieve this by configuring the Instance Name Banner for each instance.

Go to System Properties → Basic Configuration UI16 (or the corresponding UI settings for your interface) and set the Instance Name and Banner Color. For example:

• DEV – Green
• TEST – Orange
• UAT – Blue
• PROD – Red

This displays the environment name (DEV, TEST, UAT, PROD) in the navigation header, making it easy for users to identify which instance they are working in and reducing the risk of making changes in the wrong environment.
