Useful VI Notes / Technical FAQ

Hi,

I wanted to create a living document to help round-up the top Visual Intelligence notes, because some useful Knowledge base articles (KBAs) are being generated by Support.

As this is an emerging product, this page will be like a technical Faq / survival guide. If you see any missing requirements, please add your comments.

Regards, 

H
