• Put Omnitapps always on top: This is a common setting to force Omnitapps to be viewed on top of all other windows.
• Enable mouse emulation: When checked you can control Omnitapps with a mouse device. Normally Omnitapps can be controlled with multitouch so
movable items can be scaled and rotated with multiple touch fingers or multiple users.
Note: When you are running Omnitapps in mouse emulation do not use a multi-touch screen to control Omnitapps since it “listens” to singletouch and
click events.
• Show mouse emulation notifier at startup: When checked Omnitapps shows a popup message at startup when in mouse mode.(as a reminder) When
you configure Omnitapps on your local computer with no touchscreen attached you should enable mouse emulation. Afterward when you run your
configuration on a touchscreen enabled system the mouse emulation setting is often forgotten thus not turned off.
• Windows 8 Charms bar enabled: When checked the Windows 8 charms bar is enabled. Uncheck this to disable the Windows 8 charms bar.
When you use Omnitapps on a Windows 8 computer in a public environment you should always uncheck this box.

uncheck this box. When unchecked the main menu is shown after startup. (When you have multiple applications configured)

or other desired port number. After restart Omnitapps the API will be available to communicate by http requests. This API function is highly advanced.
Please contact our support department first if you have needs for API control. Contact Support: [email protected]
• Omnitapps external server ip address/port: These fields are implemented for future releases of Omnitapps where all data Omnitapps collects will be
stored in an external Database Application instead of the internal Database. You need this function when multiple Omnitapps computers must pass data
and game scores to a central database. Please contact us when you have projects that require this type of data storage.
• Export databases to CSV format: When you press the button all information from the internal databases will be exported to CSV files.
The CSV files are located here: ..\\my documents\Omnitapps Lobby\[your configuration name]\
A Popup window show you the exact path while exporting.
The CSV files (Comma Separated Value) can be opened.
Request.csv = All requested files by one of the application that has a request function.
Users.csv = User data from forms and special development (customization) where users log-in before using Omnitapps.
Analytics.csv = Usage tracking data. It logs app, folder and file usage.
Version information:
• Current version: This number indicates the software version you currently have installed on your system.
• Latest version: This number indicates the software version that is available for download.
This button becomes active when there is a newer version available. You need a internet connection to let Omnitapps check for new
versions.

you deactivate your license key.
Request mailer login credentials:
RequestMailer is a Omnitapps Lobby service that can send an email to an end-user with links to requested files from Omnitapps.
How it works:
RequestMailer is a website where you can upload media(files) in your account. In Omnitapps Lobby you fill in your account credentials.
Now Omnitapps sends all requests from BrochureRequest, MediaViewer and SwipeMediamarker directly to the RequestMailer server. The server looks up
the files and sends a E-Mail to that user with hyperlinks to the requested files. Omnitapps does not send the actual files to the server, but only a command
“to do something”. This way you can use this request mailer with an Omnitapps computer with a slow internet connection (e.g. 3G or slow exhibition WiFi)
Note: The RequestMailer server can only send an E-Mail to the end-user containing links to requested files if you upload the same files from Omnitapps to
the RequestMailer website.
Steps to take:
1. Create an Omnitapps configuration.
2. Create an RequestMailer Account.
3. Upload mediafiles that can be requested to the server. (you can drag them from your Omnitapps Media folder directly in the upload screen)
4. Fill in your login credentials in the Omnitapps Configurator
Create your RequestMailer acount here: http://request.omnitapps.com

Note: You can also change your password from your account. But then don’t forget to update the password in Omnitapps Lobby Configurator.

Note: You have to prepare a folder structure before browsing for the media folder. MediaViewer sets up itself by reading the category folders and the content in each category. In the example below you select the folder MEDIA in the configurator. Also look at the example from the demo configuration located
here: My Documents\Omnitapps Lobby\Default\MediaViewer\Media
The folders Cars, Planes and Boats are the categories. The files in those folders are the
mediafiles you can view on the screen. Media files can be Image files (.JPG, .PNG) PDF
files, Video files (.MOV, .MP4 rendered with a H264 codec)
Note: category folders can have the same sort of content (all image files, all pdf files) or
mixed content.
Create Category thumbnails:
The MediaViewer selection menu displays categories that are in fact folders. Folders do
not have a default image file (thumbnail). However you can show your own button
images in the MediaViewer menu. Place image files (.JPG) next to the category folders
with exact the same name as the folder (uppercase sensitive). Like in the example above
you should place image files in the MEDIA folder named Cars.jpg, Planes.jpg and Boats.
