Version 2.6 includes the option to suppress all empty/null fields from the Details pop-window altogether...given that you can suppress them in 2.6, would you still need to change the text from "no value" ?

I have spoke to my user, and they would prefer to be able to display the field name with a user defineable value for null, rather than suppressing it.

Cheers

If you want to globally replace the "no value" text with another phrase, you can use the translations file to do this. First, export the translation file from Settings > Language > Edit translations. Open this separate IOK file, and set the text tools text search option to Exact and enter "no value" to find the cell where this value is specified. Replace the default text with your own text and save the translations file. You can then set Omniscope to use the edited translations file under Settings > Language > Use edited translations file. You will need to re-start Omniscope.

The entire process for creating a new set of translations for any/all of Omniscope is explained here:

Will an iok file I create with the new language file in place be seen with the new text by someone who opens it, or will they also have to update their own language file?

I have edited the language file, but I think I made a mistake, changing the value in the en column, rather than putting my new one in en_GB, but now when I try to edit the file, even after deleting the languages iokj file and re-installing Visokio, I cant find the 'no values' field. Am I missing something?

Bizarrely, when I sorted the En column, I found the 'no value' record in the En column, despite the text search not finding it! I changed the En-GB value, and it now works as I want.

Is there a way to get users who only have the viewer, not professional, to see the new value?

You need to send users your version of "editedLanguages.iok". They need to follow the below steps so Omniscope can use your copy of the languages file:

1. They need to copy your version of "editedLanguages.iok" to their user home directory. Please do not change the name of this file.

2. Enable this option Settings > Language > Use local translations file. (This option is not currently available in Omniscope Viewer in the latest build Omniscope 2.5 b297. But this option will be available in the new Omniscope 2.5 b298 build which you can get from our download page http://www.visokio.com/getomniscope next Monday "8/02/2010").

3. Please restart Omniscope for the new settings to take effect.

Just out of interest, what is the new value you you are using instead of "no value".

Regarding the search for "no value" issue, please use "En" filter device to do the searching. In order to make your search exact, please enable "Show text tools" from the configure drop-down in the device toolbar and change the search type to be "Exact".
