Hi @Onkarjadhav ,

Thanks for having checked on the regard! : ]

The important points that @StephenAbraham kindly shared would be sufficient for the inquiry. (I have accepted the reply as Solution, for which directs the needed information)

I have also relocated the current post to the How-tos category, for which it is more related to the subject.
