Summary

Omnivex offers subscriptions for news and weather data for several regions. After purchasing a news or weather subscription from Omnivex, you will receive an e-mail confirmation that contains details including your account user name and password. You will need this before you can access the data.

To get Omnivex news or weather:

1. From a web browser, open the news or weather folder (you will need the user name and password provided by Omnivex to access the folders).
2. Browse to find and select the XML file containing the data you want to link.
   • News data is organized into region/language-based folders and categories are sorted alphabetically.
   • Weather data is organized into country-code folders and cities are sorted alphabetically. City weather data is split into two sub-files (metric or imperial).
3. Right-click and copy the URL from the address bar.
4. From XMLLink, click . The New Page – URL dialog box appears.
5. In Name, type a name for the page

7. Select Use login credentials.
8. Enter the User name and Password provided by Omnivex.
9. In Rows per URL, enter the number of rows of data to be linked out for each URL.
   
   When linking to DataPipe, the total number of rows linked out for this page will be the product of the number of URLs multiplied by the number of Rows per URL. For example, if you paste in three URLs and specify five Rows per URL, the total number of rows linked out will be 15.
   
   Note: The specified number of rows are always linked out, regardless of how many items exist in the URL; blank rows are sent if necessary. The Omnivex subscription provides 10 items per news URL and one item per weather URL.
