template_DRAC: Create a DRAC input data template (v1.1)

Description

This function returns a DRAC input template (v1.1) to be used in conjunction with the use_DRAC() function

Usage

Arguments

nrow

integer (with default): specifies the number of rows of the template (i.e., the number of data sets you want to submit)

notification

logical (with default): show or hide the notification

Value

A list.
