# Accessing the Xpress Workbench Component

This section describes how to navigate to the Xpress Workbench on FICO® Platform.

## Logging in to FICO® Platform

When an organization subscribes to FICO Platform, it will normally provide a list of permitted users when the contract is signed, which is used by FICO Professional Services to create the accounts and configure permissions. Users will be provided with the URL to directly access the application. FICO Professional Services will fully prepare the environment ready for use. Xpress Insight is implemented as a component instance of a solution on FICO® Platform. After the Xpress Insight component is successfully provisioned, authorized users can access Xpress Insight through the FAC.

Note:

If you do not interact with the component for 30 minutes, you are automatically logged out. A warning message appears five minutes before this happens.

If the component is logged out and unused, including not running or debugging any Mosel models, for a period of 1.5 - 2 hours, then the component is placed in an Idle state. When the component is next accessed, it reawakens the component before a user can log into it; this takes up to around a minute. During this time, if you access the component directly using its URL (for example, using a web browser bookmark), you might see a plain text message on the screen telling you that the component is Idle. In this case, wait and then refresh the browser.

## Basic Operation of the Component on FICO® Platform

Users with Administrative rights will have the Create Project option available from the dashboard page.

This button creates a new project containing the files for a minimal Xpress application.

Perform the following steps to create a new project from existing files stored on your local computer:

1. Create a zip archive on your local computer containing all your project files.
2. Click CREATE PROJECT.
3. Enter a name for your project.
4. Click CHOOSE FILE and select the zip archive you created.
5. Click SAVE.
6. Click the new project tile to open it.

Covered Topics

- Sharing a Direct Link to the Application
  You can send a link to direct registered users to your app. When a user who has logged in to the FICO® Platform clicks this link, the app is displayed in the browser, removing the need to navigate the intermediate screens.
- Backing up and Restoring Projects and Components
  The ADMIN tab displays the Backup Status and Backup Archive pages.
