Find the right block or view: the Blocks and Views Explorer

The Blocks and Views Explorer lists Omniscope's core blocks and views alongside the community ones, in one report you can search and filter. Use it to check whether something already does what you need before you build it, or to choose between similar options.

Open the Blocks and Views Explorer. You don't need to sign in.

Find a block or view

1. On the Explore tab, type a word or two describing the job into Search.
2. Use the other filters to narrow the list. The totals and the chart by category follow your filters.
3. Read the cards. Each community item links to its gallery page, a live demo and its source on GitHub.

The Data tab shows the same items as a table.

Choose between core and community

Core blocks and views are built into Omniscope. Where one does the job, start there. Community blocks and views are open source and live in two public repositories, each with a gallery:

• Community blocks, written in Python or R for workflows
• Community views, for reports

Each gallery page has a Related section listing similar core and community items. Where two do a similar job, it says which to use when.

Items tagged visokio-agents were built by Visokio's agents. They are tested by automated tests and were run on a real Omniscope server, but they were not reviewed by Omniscope's core team, so they are not on a par with the core blocks and views.

Add a community item to your project

Community blocks appear in the block picker in a workflow, and community views in the view picker in a report. Adding one copies it into your project, so later changes in the repository don't affect projects that already use it. To get a newer version of a block, replace it in the workflow with a fresh one from the picker.

How current the list is

Community items refresh daily from the galleries. The core list is maintained by hand and updated with Omniscope releases, so it can differ slightly from what your version of Omniscope offers.
