Prerequisites
To get the best from this chapter, you should have access to hosted versions ofXpress Insight and Xpress Workbench. They will typically either be hosted on your own on-premises infrastructure, or on the FICO Analytic Cloud (FAC).
Note: If you are using the desktop version of Xpress Workbench, there are some minor differences when compared to the hosted version. With a few common-sense accommodations, you will still be able to follow the exercises and progression of this chapter.
You should also:
- Be familiar with Mosel (at least able to read simple models), HTML and XML. View Definition Language (VDL) is largely composed of a set of HTML extensions.
- Have some experience of programming and the usual edit-compile-run development cycles.
More advanced use of Xpress Insight will benefit from a good knowledge of JavaScript and further experience with Mosel.
