Hey Matt, yes that is exactly what I was searching for and did it for me. Its true I was remembering some guide on how to do that, but so long I didnt check the quickstart I didnt imagine it would be back there. I think it would be great to add some small entry or explanation on how to do this on LeoSettings.leo Thank you!
