Initializing help system before first use

Attaching Files

You can upload attachments to apps that will be available for all scenarios within the app or you can upload attachments to a single scenario, which is available for that scenario only.

An app may require that certain app or scenario attachments be provided. These requirements are app-specific and documented by app's author. Files can also be attached for process or workflow requirements. For example, you may want to include an email with information on why you changed a scenario or a file that contains an approval for the change. These types of files have meaning for your app or scenarios, but they do not directly impact the calculations.

Note Certain potentially insecure file extensions cannot be used as attachments. If you have FICO® Xpress Insight Server hosted on-premise then you can configure this setting to select which are allowed, however the DMP version of Xpress Insight Server prevents use of the following extension types: apk, asp, aspx, bat, bin, c, cc, class, conf, cpp, css, dll, exe, gif, iso, java, js, jse, jsp, lib, php, phps, phtml, properties, ps1, rar, rpm, sh, swf, tar, tga, tiff, vb, vbe, vbs, vbscript, war, xlm, xlsm, xltm, xsdt. The Xpress Insight Server will block any import or upload of a Repository, App, Folder, or Scenario that contains one or more attachments with blocklisted filename extensions. For more on configuring the extension blocklist, see the chapter on Securing FICO Xpress Insight in the FICO Xpress Insight Installation Guide.

  • Tagging Attachments
    Attachments can be tagged with one or more tags, defined in an app, to identify them as being for a particular purpose to the Mosel model. Tags are assigned to files so that the system can use files based on their tags rather than requiring the actual filenames.
