The free Viewer licenses cannot create/save queries.
What you could do is to create an IOK Report with several queries, and save the file with them, so your client can choose between them.
Currently, IOK files 'owned' by and saved with a ServerPlus license can 'empower' the Free Viewer user to write/edit/save text comments (like editing a PowerPoint slide), but not add new persistent Named Queries...

Hi Paola - Thanks for this. The saved queries is something we use already, but is not sufficient.
The things is... Omniscope always provides its users with so much new information. Users always have new questions which are not answered by old queries. The fact they have new questions is exactly what we want as this way knowledge is increasing. Supporting this with saving queries would be very powerful.

Arjan - This is really both a licensing and file security model question....if your users upgrade from free Viewer to Desktop, they can in theory explore the data and define their own new Named Queries/focused visualisations and make them persistent in the file by saving them as part of their own copy of the IOK file.

Unfortunately, if you as Publisher/Owner are applying 'owner-locking' to your files to protect the integrity of the delevered data and formulae, this will currently also prevent your subscribers from adding their own persistent Named Queries and individual discovery visualisations to your files.

A short term solution might be to add the ability to save new Named Queries to IOK files 'owned' by a ServerPlus license, but the adding the new queries alone would not be that valuable without the ability to also generate new tabs and new visualisations, at which point usage is well beyond free Viewer scope. But upgrading the client to Desktop is also not a solution because the granularity of the existing file security model again becomes the constrait.

I have re-categorised this discussion as an Idea relating to the File Security model...
