      I think that Boris would like the file that you used to import your data into Lumira.

      In fact, so would I.

      Perhaps creating a database showcasing all of the great works created with certain data sets is in order.

      🙂

      Hi Dev,

      We need to respect our SCN rules. I will try to understand each and every thing. Then I will post accordingly. If they would have informed me earlier. I would have posted as per SCN rules. Suddenly they are deleting after I posted many blogs. I feel thats not fair. 😥

      Some moderators write the reason for rejecting the blog.

      And about the coffee corner, all blogs and documents are deleted from Coffee Corner with regards to a Poll.
