Uploading Apps

Below is a brief description of the organization of an app's files and the steps you need to take to upload an app to Xpress Insight.

Apps can be uploaded from two sources: .zip files containing new apps and .insight files exported from a running system.

Each .zip file contains the artifacts that comprise the app: configuration files, compiled model, embedded data files, UI code as html and JavaScript. These are the necessary elements to create a new app in the application.

The .zip files are located on your local machine. For example, the .zip file of the Campaign Conversion app is located in the c:/xpressmp/examples/insight/javascript/ folder.

Each .insight file is a proprietary binary file format written out when an app is exported. Each .insight is a live app, potentially with existing scenarios in various states, previously exported from a running system.

See your administrator for the location of your organization's .zip and .insight files.

  1. From the Home page, click the Upload App icon.
    Your browser's Open page is displayed.
  2. Navigate to the folder containing the .zip or the .insight file containing the app you want to upload.
  3. Select the file and click Open.
    The icon representing the app is loaded to your Home page.
