On the ASUG side we did not have enough time to cover Lumira Designer; please register for the Lumira Designer 2.1 webcast here. We did see a screen shot below:

Thanks for sharing... 🙂
Good post. Thanks for sharing.
Hope the SAP Lumira team will eventually be able to offer an enterprise ready self service & data visualization tool from this 2.1 version. Look forward to it.
Thanks,

Wounder if the limitation of 10 000 data points on visualtizations is removed.
Same here 🙂
Hi
Lumira 2.1 was released today the discovery chart features do not seem to be included? When you look at competitor products SAP need to delivery richer features in shorter time lines for on premise BI Solutions...not all customers are moving to the cloud
Hi Michael - what are you referencing specifically? I am not sure I follow.
Hi Tammy,
What about the mobile device support for Lumira Discovery?
Lumira Discovery 2.0 supports Lumira content on SAP Mobile 6.6 application with iOS 9 and above. However, it is not supported on iPad2, iPhone and Android. Still same or any enhancements?
Hi - please update to Mobile BI 6.7 - I tried Lumira Discovery 2.1 on my iPad Air and it worked

Hi Tammy,
we are having issues with Mobile BI and Lumira 2.0/2.1 at a customer.
Lumira documents (Lumira 2.0 & 2.1 both) are not opening in the app, both for iphone and android. Are there any server side settings that we need to change for this to work?
Which BI server version did you use to test this?
Best regards,
Aneeque
I am using BI4.2 SP05 - that's where it works. If you have more issues please post this as a question at answers.sap.com under SAP BusinessObjects Mobile BI
How come SAP has not resolved the issue of records limitation in bar charts of 10000 !!!
i was expecting it to be resolved in lumira 2.1.
Thanks
