How to Access, View, and Download Standards in Nimonik

You can easily access and manage Standards within Nimonik. Watch this video to learn how to access, view, and download Standards within 5 clicks, or follow the below steps.

Step 1 – Login

For Organizations with SSO (Single Sign-on) enabled, users will not log in using a business email and password. Instead, users with proper credentials should be able to access the account via an internal company portal. For more information, please discuss this with your account administrator.

Step 2 – View Facilities & Click the “CO Registers” button

On the Home Page, you will see an overview of all the Facilities set up for your account. To proceed to your list of subscribed standards, click the “CO Registers” button

Most users should only have access to 1 Facility, while Account Administrators will have access to all Facilities in the account.

Step 3 – Click the title of CO Register to access the list of Standards

On the subsequent page, click the title of your CO Register to view the list of subscribed standards

Step 4 – Access and View Standards

On the CO Register’s page, you will see the full list of Standards your organization subscribes to for that specific facility. To access the Standard, click on the title

You can also use the search bar to find any Standard within your register:

***Please note:

To determine your company’s access level for the standard, please refer to the lock icons next to the document title. The definitions are the following:

= This document has been purchased for your entire organization.

= This document has been purchased for certain facilities at your organization.

= This document has not been purchased by your organization.

If you need access to a document that is locked, contact your account administrator.***

Once the document page loads, you can read the full Standard by clicking the “View PDF” blue button on the right side of the title. You can also scroll down to view all of the previous versions of the Standard.

***Please note that if you attempt to access a Standard with an icon from the “Compliance Library”, the “View PDF” option will not be available. The only way to view Standards with an icon is via the CO Register.***

Step 5 – Download the Standard or Download a Shortcut to the Standards

Users can download a PDF copy of the Standard by clicking the “Download PDF” button if the Publisher allows it. All downloaded PDFs will be watermarked with the end user information. This is done to comply with the publisher’s requirements.

If there is no download option, users have two options for quick access to the Standard.

1. Users can download a Shortcut to the Standard. In the top right corner of the view standards page, you will find a Save shortcut button. If you click it, it will save the page to your computer as an HTML file. You can simply open this file at any time to return to the page.

2. Users can download Nimonik’s Mobile App software and view the Standard on an iPad or Android device. This allows you to view your documents offline and on the go. To do so, click the links or scan the QR codes on this page.

Step 6 – Receive & React to Notifications

Whenever a Standard you subscribe to is updated, you will be informed within the software via External Actions and outside the software via a weekly email. It is important to note that you must close these External Actions and leave notes to indicate you have acknowledged the new version of the standard. This will create a paper trail and improve your conformance program.

New Versions of Standards will be automatically added to your account. When released, they’ll be unlocked in the same CO Register as the previous version, and you’ll be notified via External Actions.

Step 7 – Additional Features

You can also take advantage of the other features included in Nimonik’s CO Register module, such as:

Upgrade to gain access to regulatory data across the United States and internationally
Organize your Standards using the Category field
Easily view a document’s current status
