| Any booking will be automatically approved | Select this checkbox to automatically approve any booking of the Environments, whether booked from a TEBR (with or without a Release) or a Release (Enterprise, Project, or Independent). The booking will stay in an approved state even if the dates of the booking are changed. |

Additional Information
The Additional Information tab contains custom fields, which administrators have added using Environment Custom Fields Customization. These fields will vary between each Plutora installation. Please consult your administrator for the procedure for filling in these fields.
Stakeholders
When users are added as stakeholders more than once, they will appear as a stakeholder only once with all their Roles and Stakeholder RACI Roles merged.
For example, if a stakeholder with Role A and all the RACI Roles was added again with Role B and no RACI Roles, the stakeholder would appear only once with Roles A and B and all the RACI Roles.
To add a stakeholder, click 
and proceed with filling up the fields. For more information, see Manage Release Stakeholder.
