Use IBM i2 ChartReader to Manipulate Your Link Chart
After using Perspective Visual Analysis to build and develop your link chart—customizing its appearance to suit your needs—you can use IBM i2 ChartReader to share your chart with other people in your organization, or at the very least, to save or print your chart for access at a later date.
If ChartReader is not already installed on your computer, you can download the product from the IBM i2 website:
ChartReader offers many of the same navigation functions as Visual Analysis, allowing you to zoom in and out on particular areas of your chart, resize your chart to fit your screen, and search for information contained within your chart. However, ChartReader does not have any editing functionality. You cannot add, eliminate, or reorganize chart items, and you cannot access any of your Perspective data to supplement your chart.
Ensure that your chart is complete when you transfer it into ChartReader, and then simply use ChartReader to do the following:
· Save your chart for later access.
· Print your chart using a variety of page configuration and printing options.
· Copy and paste your chart into Windows® applications, including Microsoft® Word, PowerPoint®, and Excel®, for inclusion in reports and other documents.
In other words, use Perspective Visual Analysis to create and develop your visual research, and then employ ChartReader to document it and distribute it to others.
