Authoring Custom Views with Tableau for FICO

Tableau for FICO is a powerful business intelligence application that allows you to analyze many different types of structured data using a greatly expanded range of chart and graph formats to create your views.

Tableau visualizations can be incorporated into Xpress Insight apps as custom views that report on scenario data.

This chapter describes the tasks that a developer needs to execute in order to incorporate Tableau visualizations as views in an Xpress Insight app. These developer tasks are as follows:
  • Configure Xpress Insight to expose data to Tableau.
  • Create a Tableau workbook.
  • Incorporate the workbook in the Xpress Insight app.

The steps involved in performing these tasks will be described in the context of adding a Tableau view to the Facility Location example that can be found in <installdir>\examples\insight\javascript\facility_location. If you want to follow the steps, we suggest you take a copy of the example app ZIP file and apply the changes to this.
