i2 ChartExplorer 2
Analytical charts are extremely valuable sources of information and intelligence that can be of benefit to future investigations. However, important analysis is often archived following a project’s completion. Without an efficient way to access these resources, information can remain inaccessible and becomes worthless, and analysts waste precious time searching for and recreating existing intelligence.
i2 ChartExplorer is a powerful application that uncovers high value information stored in i2 Analyst’s Notebook and i2 TextChart files and other documents within your organization. It illustrates exactly what information is available in existing charts and documents, the context in which it was used, and reveals relationships and recurrences across the files. Files can be organized and presented by folder, author, case, classification or keywords, so that a high level view of information is available.
Using the sophisticated functionality in ChartExplorer you can retrieve chart information ranked by relevance, preview it for context and quickly add relevant items to your analysis. ChartExplorer is therefore the perfect tool for promoting efficiency and information sharing within your organization.
ChartExplorer is built onto your existing file system avoiding the cost, security concerns and compliance issues associated with a new system or database.
Key Benefits

Key Functionality
Intelligent Search allows you to carry out searches across all supported documents and use smart-matching technology that considers similar sounding words, name variations and alternative and misspelled words.
Explorer - browse files organized by author, case, classification and keywords to obtain a high level view of available information or identify individuals who are subject matter experts. Explore how the information in the documents is related.
Preview Panes - determine the relevance and context of search results without opening files. Chart Preview highlights and zooms in on the item of interest, allowing you to view in the context of the entire chart. Link Preview displays all entities immediately linked to your search result. In addition, you can print the contents of each Preview Pane.
Workpad - as you preview and browse search results, save entities and links of interest in this interactive work space, while maintaining links to source documents. In addition, you can print the contents of the Workpad.
Alerts provide you with notification when a file, folder or search result of interest changes, or when fellow analysts run queries similar to yours. This ensures your analysis incorporates the latest information and helps identify analysts working on related projects.
Search Logs provide you with a history of other users' search activities, so that you can identify who is searching for what. This enables you to exchange relevant information and share searches.
Support for common document formats - in addition to exploring i2 Analyst's Notebook, i2 Visual Notebook™ and i2 TextChart™ files for vital information, ChartExplorer also supports Microsoft® Office, PDF, Plain Text, Rich Text, HTML and XML formats.
