Lumira Designer Sample Templates Not Displayed

[former_member548161]

I am using Lumira Designer 2.1. When I create a New Application I see the Standard and Ready-to-Run templates but I do not have the Samples templates, which include Dashboard Sample and Features Sample. I can find the folder on my hard drive at C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Lumira Designer\plugins\com.sap.ip.bi.zen.content_21.1.0\templates\DOCUMENTS\SAMPLES and the files are all there. How do I get them to show up in the Designer UI?

Exactly. There are two kind of templates:

1. For a whole Document (aka LUMX file).
2. A single App or Composite

The Samples only exit as kind 1, as they consist of several related Apps and Composites.

[reiner_hille-doering]

Those templates only work "SAP Lumira Documents" (LUMX) mode. Perhaps you are using legacy BIP or local mode?

Under Preferences/Application Design the Preferred Startup Mode is set to SAP Lumira Documents.

Here is some additional information for you. When I right click on the BI Platform Documents folder and select Create Document I can select the Samples templates. But if I right click on an existing document and select create application then I do not see the Samples templates. Perhaps that is by design. I am new to Lumira Designer and know very little about it at this time.

Thanks for you input.

Thank you for the clarification. I did not find that explanation in the documentation. Perhaps I missed it. Thanks again!
