Abstract: A method for user collaboration in a business intelligence software tool includes executing a computing server in an operating system of a computing device including a processing unit and system memory. The computing server comprises a business intelligence tool application adapted for rendering data to a group of users for business intelligence. Using a client computer, users access the business intelligence tool application made available by the computing server. Collaborative user notes are added to a representation of data presented by the business intelligence tool application to the group of users. The user collaborative notes are saved on a data page for subsequent retrieval. The data page and user collaborative notes are shared with the group of users for collective intelligence.
