Release highlight details
Support for system matching rules
When new data is added to an i2 Notebook Chart from either the information store or external searches, system matching rules are automatically applied to minimize the occurrence of duplicate data on the chart.
System matching rules are configured by the system administrator on the i2 Analyze server.
Copy and Paste web chart items
- Chart Items in the i2 Notebook web client can be copied and pasted from one web chart to another using either the buttons from the ribbon menu, the right click context menu, or using keyboard shortcuts; making it easier to work with the same data in multiple web charts without the need to rerun searches.
Enhanced chart record data
- When an i2 Notebook chart record is used to seed a search against an external data source and the search returns additional information about that record then the chart record is updated with that new additional information.
Additional new icons
New, additional customer requested icons are available for the i2 Analyze server, i2 Notebook, and i2 Investigate.
The following are some examples.
SOLR 9
- The i2 Analyze server has been updated to use SOLR 9, the latest version of SOLR, to ensure the latest security features and fixes are implemented.
