Watson knowledge catalog: Edit existing rules - ibm-cloud

I'm reviewing some of Watson Knowledge Catalog functionalities. For that I created a IBM Cloud lite account. I added a rule to a policie. I want to edit the rule, but when I try to use the option "edit rule" the screen shows a message saying "this rule cannont be edited". I'm wondering if it is because it's a lite account. The documentation says you can not delete rules. So what can I do if I want to modify the existing rule to keep testing its functionalities?

#Maria , Lite account has the ability to create/edit 1 rule at the maximum.
From UI you should be able to create/edit a rule

Watson IoT: "Extensions" entry is not available in left menu

I've been following the Gather, visualize, analyze and detect anomalies in IoT data tutorial and, although I was able to go through it flawlessly, I'm stuck in the second step of the "Create a data connector to store the historical data" section. In my Watson IoT left menu, there is no entry called "Extensions", my last option is the "Configuration" one. As far as I know, I have re-checked all the steps twice and I have tried to configure different regions (I'm located in Spain) for both Watson IoT and cloudant services (all within the "Lite" program), but I can't, for the life of me, forward the data received in Watson IoT to Cloudant.
Is there anything that has changed in the Watson IoT platform since the tutorial was written? Do I need to activate anything in my account that allows me to see the "Extensions" option?
Thank you for your support and if you need more information about my setup, don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Aitor
As mentioned in the Solution tutorial,
Setting up a new connection is a four-step process:
Create a service binding that provides Watson IoT Platform with the necessary information to connect to the Cloudant service.
Create a connector instance for the service binding.
Configure one or more destinations on the connector.
Set up one or more forwarding rules for each destination.
You can refer to the IBM Watson IoT Platform - Historical Data Storage Extension APIs
swagger UI as mentioned in the tutorial.
You can also access the interactive API docs directly from the Watson IoT Platform service dashboard by selecting the menu bar help icon in the upper right corner of the window and then clicking API > historian connector > View APIs. To store the historical data to Cloudant, you will be passing the IBM Cloudant credentials to create a Watson IoT Platform service binding.

Is there a way to create an organization dashboard in Azure DevOps?

Our team is currently using DevOps and are very pleased with how everything is working. We've setup Dashboards in each project that tracks work items and sprints and would like to do the same at the Organization Level. Is there a way to create a master overview of multiple projects in an organization?
Unfortunately we cannot create an organization level dashboard, it's not supported.
We can only create the Team Project level dashboards for teams, please see Add and manage dashboards for details.
However there's already a user voice submitted here to suggest the feature and it's in planned, but based on the response seems no plans to store a dashboard on organization overview. So you can vote it up and add your comments on the existing user voice or submit a new one to suggest the feature...
In our VSTS Feature
Timeline(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/release-notes/), you
see a feature called “Dashboards – Create dashboard separate from a
team” under “Reporting”
This feature will allow you to create a Dashboard that has no
association with the team. This means you don’t need to create a team,
to make a Dashboard. You can create any number of these Dashboards and
share them with who you want.
However, Dashboards will still be stored with a Team Project. So to
address your scenario (cross-team-project Dashboard), you’ll just have
to pick a team project to store the dashboard.
We don’t have immediate plans to store a dashboard outside a team
project.
Our team was dealing with the same problem as yours, and we decided to develop our own dashboard solution at the end.
After using it as an internal tool for several months, we recently made it available as a SaaS.
You may check it out on meercode.io for more information.
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Behind the dashboard widgets are queries, and it is possible to execute those queries across multiple projects.
When you open the query editor, there is a checkbox:
"Query across projects" checkbox (imgur)
This way we created a project in Devops that only contains a dashboard that shows all work items in any project, assigned to or followed by the current user.
That and some nifty colored tiles =)

How make a chatbot with Watson Conversation and Slack?

I want to build a Slack bot that can answer support queries. I've designed the conversation in Watson Conversation, but now I want to deploy it to Slack channels.
Ideally I don't want to have to develop and host an application to broker messages between the two systems.
Is there any platform or solution that I can use?
There are two possible solutions that I can think of.
Watson Conversation offers some basic integration with Slack through an application you can deploy yourself in a container. I believe they have a repo in their github (https://github.com/IBM/slack-watson-bot). You'll have to host this somewhere, though Bluemix offers some basic free hosting for a limited time. There are plenty of tutorials out there for spinning up containers in Bluemix.
An alternative solution (disclosure - this is my company) that wouldn't require hosting or development would be to use Bothaus (https://bothaus.io). Bothaus lets you configure integration between Slack and Watson Conversation without hosting or coding anything.
In Watson Conversation while in your conversation workspace, click on the Deploy icon.
After that, click deploy on the Slack card. Click "Deploy to Slack App", and follow the steps.
You should not need to code anything, just fill related fields with data.
Just be aware, if your URLs you are requested to enter into slack contain spaces, change them to %20 so that Slack will recognise the URL.

What permission level do you need in VSTS to create Test Plans

According to the Microsoft documentation, you need to have Basic access in VSTS in order to create Test Plans, however, when I log in with a user having Basic access, the link for adding a Test Plan is not there.
What additional access does this user need to be able to create Test Plans? The user is also an administrator of the team to which Test Plans need to be added.
Screenshots showing the MS documentation, the particular user's access level, how it should look according to MS and how it does look (with the "+" icon to add Test Plans not appearing when logging in as the user in question with Basic access).
That article introduce the testing permission and access, not for the way (UI) to manage test (e.g. Create test plan)
With basic access level and Contributors permission, you can create test plan. There are many ways to create test plan, such as Microsoft Test Manager (client software), REST API. But you can’t do it in Test tab without Test Manager extension, which is used to manage test online (test tab).
To conclude, if you want to create test plan on online (test tab), you need to install Test manager extension. You can build a custom extension to manage test through calling REST API in order to manage test online without install Test manager extension.
The Test Manager module in VSTS requires additional license.
It costs $52 per month per user.
Also Visual Studio Enterprise subscription includes this license.
So, as you are using Basic license of VSTS the Test Manager module is not fully available, even with Administrator role.
I think it should be explained at documentation.
I found this link Test Plans, I hope can be useful for anyone.
Once I clicked on Azure DevOps Portal at Test Plans, it shows this label.
Upgrade to Test Manager extension to get full test management
capabilities Use the paid Test Manager extension to get access to
advanced test management capabilities like assign configurations,
assign testers, centralized parameters, authoring tests in grid view,
exporting test results etc. in your account. Learn more.

Issue withh Manage Workflow option on DNN 7.4.2

I am using DNN 7.4.2 version for my project now i want to implement Workflow Management for HTML content module.
I am able to apply Workflow but not able to create new Workflow and even not able to see button "Manage Workflow"
Please guide which version of DNN should i use and its paid or free ?
The workflow API and tables are part of the DNN Platform, but the user interface to create new workflows is a professional feature. The Workflow Management module is part of all of the Evoq products (Engage, Content, and Content Basic). It's also on the Admin > Workflow Management page in any of the Evoq versions.
Request a 30-day trial of Evoq Content and review what professional features you need beside the workflow management and discuss licensing costs with DNN Corp.
If you don't need any of the professional features and want to stick with the free DNN Platform, you can still do a custom workflow, but would need to create it directly in the database by inserting records into the Workflow, WorkflowStates, and WorkflowStatePermissions tables.
