Omni Content Explorer

Find, browse, and organize Omni content — dashboards, workbooks, and folders — through the Omni CLI.

Prerequisites

# Verify the Omni CLI is installed — if not, ask the user to install it
# See: https://github.com/exploreomni/cli#readme
command -v omni >/dev/null || echo "ERROR: Omni CLI is not installed."

# Show available profiles and select the appropriate one
omni config show
# If multiple profiles exist, ask the user which to use, then switch:
omni config use <profile-name>

Discovering Commands

omni content --help     # Content operations
omni documents --help   # Document operations
omni folders --help     # Folder operations

Tip: Use -o json to force structured output for programmatic parsing, or -o human for readable tables. The default is auto (human in a TTY, JSON when piped).

Known Issues & Safe Defaults

• omni content list does not currently support a --labels filter. To find documents by label, use omni documents list --include labels -o json, paginate with --cursor, then filter records whose labels array contains the target label.
• Some dashboard exports can fail before a job is created, for example with Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'query_id' in .... If omni dashboards download returns an error and no job ID, do not call download-status or claim the export completed. Report the dashboard identifier, the exact API error, and that no downloadable job was created.

Browsing Content

List All Content

omni content list

With Counts and Labels

omni content list --include '_count,labels'

Filter and Sort

# By label: list documents with labels, then filter the JSON results client-side.
# Paginate with --cursor until pageInfo.hasNextPage is false.
omni documents list --include labels -o json

# By scope
omni content list --scope organization

# Sort by popularity or recency
omni content list --sortfield favorites

omni content list --sortfield updatedAt

Pagination

Responses include pageInfo with cursor-based pagination. Fetch next page:

omni content list --cursor <nextCursor>

Working with Documents

List Documents

omni documents list

# Filter by creator
omni documents list --creatorid <userId>

Each document includes: identifier, name, type, scope, owner, folder, labels, updatedAt, hasDashboard.

Important: Always use the identifier field for API calls, not id. The id field is null for workbook-type documents and will cause silent failures.

Get Document Queries

Retrieve query definitions powering a dashboard's tiles:

omni documents get-queries <identifier>

Useful for understanding what a dashboard computes and re-running queries via omni-query.

Folders

# List
omni folders list

# Create
omni folders create "Q1 Reports" --scope organization

Labels

# List labels
omni labels list

# Find documents with a label
omni documents list --include labels -o json

# Add label to document
omni documents add-label <identifier> <labelName>

# Remove label
omni documents remove-label <identifier> <labelName>

Favorites

# Favorite
omni documents add-favorite <identifier>

# Unfavorite
omni documents remove-favorite <identifier>

Dashboard Downloads

# Start download (async)
omni dashboards download <identifier> --body '{ "format": "pdf" }'

# Poll job status only after the start command returns a job ID
omni dashboards download-status <identifier> <jobId>

Formats: pdf, png

URL Patterns

Construct direct links to content:

Dashboard: {OMNI_BASE_URL}/dashboards/{identifier}
Workbook:  {OMNI_BASE_URL}/w/{identifier}

The identifier comes from the document's identifier field in API responses. Always provide the user a clickable link after finding content.

Search Patterns

When scanning all documents for field references (e.g., for impact analysis), paginate with cursor and call omni documents get-queries <identifier> for each document. Launch multiple query-fetch calls in parallel for efficiency. For field impact analysis, prefer the content-validator approach in omni-model-explorer.
