Data

Data Libraries: Data Libraries are collections of manuals and publications assembled by publishers into a coherent library for distribution. These libraries are for use with NIVOMAX IETP/IETM Viewers only. Users can download these libraries through the NIVOMAX Self-Serve Portal, where they can be manually imported into the NIVOMAX Desktop Edition or Data Server applications. Alternatively, libraries can be directly downloaded within the software using the Download Manager tool. For enhanced security, the distributed library archives are encrypted, although encryption can be disabled upon request depending on the specific distribution needs of the ePubs Supplier you are working with.
