I4 runs in a standard browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox etc) on mobile devices and on any desktop operating system. I4 connects to a GN4 server in a LAN, WAN (including but not requiring VPN) and over Internet connection.

I4 gives you full access to the newsroom content, for creating and editing articles and stories, uploading, finding, reviewing and publishing/sending/slugging content. You can also look at paper production tracking, events and tasks.

Typical URL to connect is http://yourservername/I4/.

You can use I4 on a basic level, ie. to write plain text and upload content, or on an advanced level, to write formatted text to fit to the assigned space on paper page, and to manage different kind of content (text, articles, images, graphic, audio, video, documents, all of above in practically any format), to create, locate, review, and enrich content, to publish it in a number of formats on the selected publishing destinations. You can upload/import content, retrieve and export or transform it, work with wires and/or archive, organize newsroom work and/or review your tasks and so on. You can validate content and send it in the copy flow.

I4 edits only the text content of multimedia articles.

Since version 2.1, I4 supports the full-text search.

You can use I4 together with Adobe applications.

Please note that all the functionalities that I4 offers, but even more powerful, are available in the GN4 client applications, such as Ted4 and Fred4.

I4 does not include system administration functions - use the EdAdmin4 or Administrative browser for that purpose.

I4 features several main tabs, and every main tab is dedicated to the specific functionality.
