The global standard for creating and sharing intelligence.

i2 Analyst's Notebook

The biggest enhancement to i2 Analyst's Notebook is the roll out of a brand new visual feature:

Introducing Configurable Badges

New to Analyst's Notebook are configurable badges, allowing the analyst to surface critical information directly on chart items. Instead of opening individual entities to check attributes, these can now be displayed visually.

 The result is faster pattern recognition, improved situational awareness, and more efficient decision-making.
