Omnify Desktop is a web-browser based application.
No client installation is required.
Supported browsers include: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari
Many browsers provide built-in features that you can leverage to enhance the Desktop usability.
Clicking the right mouse button will invoke the browser's context menu.
The context menu will provide quick access to common browser functions such as navigating, sending, and exporting.
All printing is managed by your browser. To print any Omnify form, use the "File -> Print" command from your browser menus.
You can email other users the link and/or content of any Omnify form, using the "File -> Send" command from your browser menus.
On many forms in Omnify a large amount of data (items, lists, text, etc.) may be displayed.
Using the web browser's "Find on Page" (usually Ctrl+F) to search for specific text on the forms may help you find key pieces of information.
This is usually available from the application menus or by clicking the Ctrl + F button.
The "Find" feature will allow you to specify text to find and then highlight the matching areas.
