Using the free Viewer

Exploring Omniscope files configured by others

If you have received an Omniscope file, you may also have received a link to this page explaining how to interact with an Omniscope file using your free Viewer. Clicking on an Omniscope IOK file attached to an e-mail, a link to a file on a web page, or an IOK file saved in a network shared folder will open not only Omniscope, but the IOK file as well. Omniscope IOK files you receive should have been configured to anticipate your typical uses of the file. .

Omniscope free Viewers support the full range of interactions with the daa in the file, links and even submissions to web services. However, free Viewers cannot save changes to IOK files. To do this, you will need to upgrade your free Viewer to an activated Edition. The Enterprise Server Commercial Publisher Edition can produce/save IOK files that DO enable certain key features in the free Viewer, such as live data refresh, export of selected data subsets to Excel/CSV, etc. For more information, see the Edition comparison chart or contact us for advanced publishing options.

Navigating Omniscope files is easy and intuitive

Welcome screen - If you open your free Viewer from the desktop launch icon, or if you download Omniscope Online from a link without a linked data file, or if you close the file you are viewing, you will see the Viewer Welcome screen. You can browse to and open any IOK file from the Welcome screen.
