Xpress Insight 5is the technology component of Xpress Optimization that allows you to rapidly configure business applications to operationalize your analytic and optimization models. It provides a Compute capability that enables remote execution of Xpress Solver and Xpress Mosel. It is built on an industry-standard architecture that is scalable, secure and resilient.
With this release we provide new UI components, a datagrid and a pivot table, enhance the Python-Insight integration and enable developers on FICO Platform to develop and deploy Python-based Insight apps.

VDL updates:
- New VDL Datagrid and VDL Pivottable
- VDL4.x/JS API 4.x versions are no longer supported
- Fetch data from for multiple entities from multiple scenarios with a single VDL Action
- VDL Field can preserve selection order when in dropdown multi-select mode
- Filtered and unfiltered versions of an entity can be used within a view
Enhancements for Python-based Insight apps:
- xpressinsight Python module allows model developers to specify a default value for columns of a dataframe. For example, if arrays don't have identical populated indexes and are used in a dataframe, there may be missing values in some columns. These cells are usually filled with a 'default' value based on column type (0.0, 0, "", etc). However, the app may already be using values like 0.0 with a meaning. A custom default value can now be provided optionally.
Features available only on FICO Platform
- With this release, Xpress Insight 5 is generally available on FICO Platform and allows for Python-based Insight apps. In particular, in a business outcome focused simulation context, Python models will be able to reach out to Decision Modeler to simulate decision rules based on different configurations or varying input.
- Python will be executed in a sandbox, equipped with solution credentials and with a customizable runtime. Users can specify for each app the version of Python and which packages to use.
- App promotion: Apps will be promoted through the lifecycle stages, from Design (the lifecycle stage for development purposes) to Staging (e.g., for user acceptance testing) and finally into Production.
