15

Visual Query•Allows a user to create a visual shape of the question. •Single entities through to complex networks containing indirect relationships can be defined without the need to learn complex query languages. •Any number of properties can be assigned to entity and link types to hone the results.•Query definitions can be saved for reuse and shared across the operation community to reduce duplicating effort. •Analysis Repository permissions can be placed on the definitions, or similar queries can be grouped to assist with their management.




16

Merge•Chart merging allow a user to test hypotheses for whether two or more entities are actually referencing the same item. If this hypothesis is proved the user can apply the same merge on the repository by choosing one item as the master record and merging the other items data into it – this could include properties, cards, data records and links.

Data Acquisiton (Only when used in collaboration with IAP)

Analyst’s Notebook Premium has capabilities built-in for interacting with 3 rd party data source when used within IAP. For more information on this functionality see the white paper. ( IBM i2 Intelligence Analysis Platform
