Huge data sets with visual interactivity

Unlike Excel which is limited to file sizes of up to 65,000 rows Omniscope can handle data sets of almost unlimited size and will alow you to view table containing several million records. The only limitation will be the capacity of your PC.

Spreadsheets display a single view of dull rows and columns, at most 40-50 visible rows and about 10 legible columns depending on screen size. Omniscope currently provides 14 simultaneous views, all rich in summary visual information and interactivity.

 


Internet browser integration

Omniscope lets you pull in the data you need from your favorite web sources. It can also be used with any web services or Bloomberg terminal.


Share with others

Omniscope files are easy to share with others. They can be distributed as highly-compressed IOK files or viewed over the web as Flash DataPlayers. Our licensing model is similar to Adobe PDF: everyone gets to use the viewer for free though if you wish to publish and distribute IOK files you should contact us for licensing.

Security


We care about your security, and have added many features to make your files safe to view and share. Files can be password protected and data can be protected from editing and copying. Files can even be set to 'self distruct' on a given certain date/time.

Multiple Views

Omniscope .IOM/.IOK files display as many views as your screen size will allow. Each view shows your data in innovative, highly-configurable visualizations that update simultaneously as you filter, including or excluding records (rows). Some views can provide overviews of hundreds of thousands (even millions) of rows of data. You can configure Omniscope files to display any number of tabbed Report Pages- each with multiple views focusing your readers' attention on different aspects of the data. Recipients of your files need only tab through their personalised slides, just like a presentation-only interactive. Using the Web View, related information and services available on the web can be linked to with the click of a mouse. Omniscope Professional DataPlayer Edition also includes the DataPlayer View, which enables anyone to configure interactive Flash DataPlayers for export to documents and web pages.

At any time, single or multiple Omniscope views, or even entire .IOK files with many Report Pages, can be printed (as single hard-copy sheets, PowerPoint slide packs or Adobe Acrobat .PDF documents) or exported to the clipboard and pasted into other documents as static images.

There are many possible ways to view your data inside Omniscope, the best way to get a feel for these is to download our free trial and play around with your own data. When Omniscope starts up there a learning section to help you get started

Table view

click on the logos to view the different view descriptions

Desktop Search

The table view is a familiar, spreadsheet-like representation of your data, with each record (row) and field (column) visible for data entry, editing, sorting, aggregating and filtering. Displays colour-coded values with instant aggregation, sorting, and zooming views of embedded images. Columns (fields) can be hidden and the order set, and any number of sort criteria applied. Use the powerful set of View Tools to change the heights of the rows, display associated images, check for duplicates, expand or combine column values, specify formulae to generate calculated columns, and display calculated statistics...

 

 

Chart View

The chart view is an innovative view that shows the structure and distribution of your data across all columns (fields), in either expanded or collapsed modes. Gain an overview of large data sets and spot anomalies or patterns across many columns and rows all in a single window. Excellent for 'scrubbing' data and calculating statistics by column.

Pie View

The pie view is a familiar view used to display proportions in either category or numeric/date fields. with single or multiple (paned) display modes and some new twists, including animated displays to aid legibility. Commonly used in report pages to show the composition of aggregates. Can be 'paned' vertically, horizontally or both to show multiple pies in the same view.

Bar View

The bar view displays bars stacked vertically or horizontally, in single or multiple (paned) configurations, mixing positive and negative values and with many other powerful options. Used in most reports for comparing magnitudes and showing the composition of aggregates.

Graph View

The graph view Creates highly-customisable scatter plots with options for colouring and sizing of markers and using marker aggregation to display record density. Automatically calculates correlations to find trends. Used to spot anomalies and for spatial selections of plotted data.

Tile View

The tile view used as a simple image browser or to display 'heat maps' (or 'tree maps'), each tile represents a record (row) and shows its characteristics along multiple dimensions using size, order, colour and grouping. Also used to make mosaics of associated images to facilitate image-based search and selection, product catalogues, etc.

Pivot View

The pivot view aggregates record data by two fields, applying various functions (record count, sum, mean, etc.) at the intersection of the visible fields. Fields are easily selected and pivot tables can be sorted both ways. There is an option to display hover plots showing breakdowns of values in specific cells. Widely used in both analysis and reporting.

Tree View

The tree view presents a hierarchical view of your data. You can change the structure of your hierarchy at any time by re-ordering the fields with your mouse. Useful for display and navigation of both pure hierarchies (like organisation charts and family trees), and comparative hierarchies present in the structure of most data sets/

Portal View

The portal view is a familiar web-style interface allowing easy searching and browsing of data using coloured, text-based, dynamic field breakdowns. The Portal View displays categories as a defined number of discrete text values (from largest in terms of record count down to smallest). Selecting one or more categories and performing Moves and Keeps reveals increasingly refined filter possibilities.  Generally used in conjunction with other views to provide a text-based selection menu and provide running updates on the range of values remaining in the filtered data set. 

Map View

Map view: Omniscope allows you to use both online mapping services, such as Google Maps, and embedded vector maps that work offline. Users can change from one zooming map background to the other at any time. Omniscope comes with a wide selection of embedded vector maps (world, county or city level) which can be added into any file. Coordinates are automatically plotted on maps or scanned images, such as floor plans.  Markers can be manually placed and coordinates captured to the data set. The Map View allows easy zooming, selection and editing. For more information on freely available maps and how to use them, please visit our Maps Library.

Venn View

The Venn View allows you to see similar attributes in the same data sets.

Web View

The Web View. Omniscope is totally web-aware, and combines local content contained in the .IOK file with web content.  If you are online, any web pages  or documents related to the data set can be displayed in one or more Omniscope web views (plus your default browser).  The Web View is used to display web-based pages and services, images, adverts, etc. related to specific records, or to create 'mash-ups' with online backdrops, such as Google Maps.

Details View

Details view is the repository of all the information about a record in an .IOK data set, as well as a gateway to related web content through rich linking features. The view has flexible configuration options with branding, text formatting and the ability to display associated images.  It can also be used as a editable form for data entry and correction. Whenever just one record is selected, the highly-configurable  Details View (or a pop-up details window) displays the values for that record (row) and images and links as configured.

DataPlayer View

Available in DataPlayer and Enterprise Editions, the DataPlayer View is a workspace that allows anyone to create exportable Flash DataPlayers that can be inserted directly into documents and web pages.
