If you open the Visokio Scheduler to the main window, you only have the option to add, edit, and remove the task. Please refer to the below screenshot.
I would like to be able to move the chains up or down to get them in the correct order. I find that moving around directly in the config.xml file is time consuming and unsafe from a production standpoint. Can you please add the up/down to the top level page as you already have created under the chain action window per the below screenshot.
Thanks for the help,

This is because Omniscope only supports the Unicode character set, whereas Wingdings (and others such as Webdings and Wingdings3) are not Unicode fonts.
Copying and pasting characters from non-Unicode fonts in Windows "Character Map" results in the wrong character pasted, because the Omniscope incorrectly interprets the pasted characters as Unicode.
In Windows "Character Map", you can tell a font is non-Unicode because the status bar doesn't show the Unicode character code such as "U+0021". Instead it shows an internal character code such as "Character Code: 0x21".
(Further, the font menus in Omniscope show the name of symbol fonts incorrectly, attempting to display them using the font itself, which does not contain glyphs for the characters in the font name. Such fonts should be listed in the menu using another font, plus example glyphs present in the font itself.)
Known workarounds for inserting symbol characters into Omniscope:
- Use Unicode symbols in normal/other fonts
- In Windows "Character Map", select "Font: Arial Unicode MS" and "Group by: Unicode Subrange".
- In the "Group By" popup that appears, choose "Symbols & Dingbats" (or "Arrows", etc., as required).
- Now select and copy characters as usual into Omniscope.
- Depending on the font and symbol choice, the symbols may display immediately; if not, switch Omniscope to use Arial Unicode MS. You can do this throughout Omniscope using "Settings > File font" or individually in a Content view or other rich text field.
- In Windows "Character Map", select "Font: Arial Unicode MS" and "Group by: Unicode Subrange".
- Insert character codes in symbol fonts (rich text fields only)
- In Windows "Character Map", select the symbol font, e.g. Wingdings.
- Click the symbol you want - e.g. the 2nd symbol (✂, "black scissors").
- In the status bar at the bottom, note the character code - e.g. 0x22.
- In the Omniscope rich text field (e.g. the Content view), start editing.
- Enter some arbitrary text, e.g. "X", and set the font for "X" e.g. to Wingdings ("X" may appear as a rectangle).
- Click the "<> Edit Html Source" icon, and replace "X" with "" for code 0x22, "" for code 0x23, etc.
(This is a special "private use area" Unicode character code range for non-Unicode fonts, in hexadecimal). - Click the "<> Edit Html Source" icon again to switch back to rich text editing.
- In Windows "Character Map", select the symbol font, e.g. Wingdings.
- Convert Wingdings codes to Unicode (rich text fields only)
- In Windows "Character Map", select the symbol font, e.g. Wingdings.
- Click the symbol you want - e.g. the 2nd symbol (✂, "black scissors").
- In the status bar at the bottom, note the character code - e.g. 0x22.
- Visit this table and look up the code (e.g. 22) in the Hex column. Check the "Chr" column, and note the "Code" column. For example, 0x22 maps to code 9986.
(This is the Unicode character code, in decimal.) - In the Omniscope rich text field (e.g. the Content view), start editing.
- Enter some arbitrary text, e.g. "X". You may also need to set the font for "X" to "Arial Unicode MS".
- Click the "<> Edit Html Source" icon, and replace "X" with "✂" for symbol code 0x22 / Unicode 9986, etc.
- Click the "<> Edit Html Source" icon again to switch back to rich text editing.
- In Windows "Character Map", select the symbol font, e.g. Wingdings.
This idea comprises some or all of:
- Detecting symbol fonts pasted from "Character Map", and automatically inserting the correct codes and fonts/styles, as appropriate / where possible, in the Content View and other rich-text and plain-text fields.
- An "Insert symbol/character" button/dialog within Omniscope rich text editors, similar to "Character Map", showing all symbols available in a given font.
- Automatically correcting keystrokes which normally insert symbols in Wingdings, etc., in other applications such as Word, so they are converted/mapped to the equivalent Unicode in Omniscope (if possible).
- Correcting the display of symbol font names in font menus.

We use dials to show values within ranges, but from what I have read and experienced elsewhere, bullet graphs appear to offer more flexible, visually attractive and compact options. Do you intend to incorporate bullet graphs in the future, or am I over- rating their importance? ]]>

I currently tend to pull in all fields and then delete fields I don't want with the field organiser operation downstream of the connector.]]>
What I would like to achieve is to have a report which has multiple types of data such as location of venues & sales transaction figures. As you can imagine transaction information can be highly sensitive and needs to be protected.
As such I would like to secure only the data regarding Sales Transactions but allow users to be able to export out a list of locations.
If I am able to restrict by one of the following then it would pretty much cover what I need.
- Field Contents i.e. If Transactions data then Hide
- Block Particular Columns from being Exported i.e. If Columns are Costs or Revenue
- Disable Export View function per tab or individual view

Can we have a manual scale value's for both right and the left Y axis. Please find the attached snapshot for your reference.
Regards
Rajesh B]]>
Currently, as it is not possible to specify or fix the maximum y-axis values, the bar charts will automatically scale to the maximum value. As the bar chart data is related to each other (they contain sales data by year for similar products), the bar charts are visually confusing as they appear to show that sales for the various products are of a similar level even though some are much higher than others.
It would be very useful to be able to specify the maximum y-axis value and fix it the same for each of the bar charts so that it is much more obvious which product sales are higher.]]>

Is there any way to calculate the total mean independent of split and plot it on the same axis? See screenshot attached for a better explanation.
Thanks in advance!

2 requests!
Firstly - with the "create query" option, you can do either filters or selection, however selection isn't the "true" selection as it takes the filters provided as well (for example, I've got a nhs dataset with mutiple sources (a+e episodes, hospital stays) and I want to filter and look at just people with multiple a+e admissions in the last 6 months - when I've done this, I want to create a query of these individuals (literally just the nhs numbers) - if I do this by aggregating a table view by nhs number, select them all, create query from selection, it will add all of them to the query but also add the filters - is it possible to have the option to ONLY add the selected data?)
Secondly - is it possible to have the option to create queries in data manager?

I do have one more suggestion though is that the match up would allow for Many to One scenarios as I have encountered examples where an area name match up would be many to one as a number of areas merged into a single area i.e:
Old Name of Areas :Chester-le-Street, Derwentside, Durham, Easington, Sedgefield, Teesdale, Wear Valley
Which are all now grouped up as just County Durham due to UK parliamentary boundary changes. On the whole the UK has been shrinking the number of areas so often you may get an outdated list with "extra" areas names than the current UK parliament boundaries list.
Original comment taken from a different thread:
This is quite a common problem, but not one which the merge/join block should attempt to solve. Fuzzy matching won't help here. For example, some common value mismatches, most of which you can't solve with fuzzy matching:
- US, USA, United States, US of A, America
- Cardiff, Caerdydd, Cardiff/Caerdydd
- Russia, Russian Federation
- London, Londres
- GB, UK, United Kingdom, Britain, Great Britain, British Isles
etc.
Currently you have to use a Search/Replace block to manage these, which is very tedious to configure. You can use merge/join to identify unique mismatches, then auto-generate a Search/Replace configuration based on those mismatches, but you are still going to have to manually locate each right-side value for each missing left-side value.
A possible solution is a new kind of block, "Standardise values". It would have two inputs: (1) the main data (2) the lookup file. You would pick a field from each side, much as you do in merge/join. It would then enumerate all unique values from left that are missing from right, with searchable drop-downs to pick the correct mapping. It would result in the main data from the left, with all values standardised according to the right file. ]]>
I would ideally like to run from one master Omniscope file and select the appropriate tabs for the output files I create as not all are relevant for all subsets of data.
I could do this by creating multiple templates but as each template would share common tabs this is sub-optimal.
There is a field in the batch template for tabs which only seems to apply for PDF and PowerPoint output - why not also for Omniscope output files? Is there a way to achieve my aims?]]>
So for the attached basic Omniscope file the output would look something like:
----- Filters ---- Queries --- Views
Tab 1: Tier ------ None ----- Market Price, Ticker
Tab 2: Category -- None ----- Category, Issue Date, Isin
This would enable thinning down the report after the initial development stage and tracing the impact of the input data changes (such as database field format change) on the particular report.
Secondly, it would be very useful to see the field dependency tree (for formulas) for the same purpose of finding the fields that are not used anymore.
I can imagine this being implemented as a new data manager block that takes an Omniscope file as an input and produces the above report. Would this be possible one way or another at all?
PS A bit of background: We have a large (30 tabs) report created a while ago. It was changed organically for months and was created using a not very speed efficient principle of "let's get all the data in and see what we can do with it". All the database tables were imported using "SELECT *" statements and unused formulas were rarely deleted. This resulted in about 450 fields in the final report. I bet half of them are not needed, so it's time to optimise it, and currently the fastest way to do that is to recreate the report from scratch, and even that will take a good few days. I'm sure it's not an uncommon scenario and the suggested tool would help immensely.]]>
Should apply to:
- Table view cells
- Details view
- Popup details
- Content view
- Tab annotations
- View footers
- Document layout
- Cover/back/help pages]]>
I know..l know, it's still experimental, but you can't expect to keep us away from great stuff like this ;)]]>
Is there a way to create a custom colour palette with specific colours? Right now, we can only specify one or more colour families in the custom palette section in "Data Colours" and Omniscope generates a palette. What if I know the exact RGB values of the colours I want in the palette?

I've created a dashboard using a font that isn't bundled with Omniscope, and when it's accessed via web start the font settings disappear. Please could someone advise how to rectify this? Does the dashboard need to be deployed via Commercial Publisher to maintain the 'new' font?
Thanks

and put the results into a folder of files with any tags/metadata importable and manageable using Omniscope.

Sometimes dual axes charts can be confusing when trying to figure out which measure is on which axis. Also, if you have three measures (the third axis being independent), it's even harder.
Can we have a view that puts all of the axes on one side and plots the lines on their own scale? The lines would be color coded to align with the scale.
(Pic attached)
Thanks!]]>
We can only view and use Variables within the Data > Manage Fields or Formula interfaces? This does not seem to be wholly convenient since we appear to lose any formulae when we load Omniscope from a new box.
It would be most helpful if Variables were accessible within the DataManager > Field Organiser > Use formula field so that they can be preserved.]]>
1. Adding additional options like "working week", "working month"
2. Adding a starting point along with the period length "week", "month" etc
Also, can the concept be extended to other connectors?

Can Omniscope handle SPSS files, including the formats and label details? One of our clients uses SPSS and was inquiring about importing SPSS data into Omniscope to incorporate with the rest of their reporting.

Would it be possible to add "list" to the grouping value functions and have the view list all grouped sub-fields to display "a, b, c, etc..." instead of singleton or mode?
