With this release, support for Xpress Insight 5 apps in View Designer has been added which includes the new VDL Tableau component that co-exists with other VDL components in the same view, as well as VDL Actions for data filtering.
- All VDL views are now by default set to <vdl version=”5.0”>, and the companion file version is upgraded to 5.0. For details, users should familiarize with the Xpress Insight 5 developer guide how to embed Tableau in views and how to migrate existing apps.
Note that Xpress Insight 5 is only available to commercial users. - We recommend users of Insight 4to use theexamples shipped with the XI4 distribution as starting point for Insight app creation. Insight 4 stays on VDL version 4.8 and companion file versions 3.X. Workbench and View Designer still support VDL version 4.8, while the Palette does not distinguish between the versions.
View Designer enhancements:
- A new component <vdl-tableau> has been added to the Palette. It allows to mix Tableau and VDL componentsin the same view. Once the VDL Tableau component has been dropped onto the artboard, it can be easily configured on the Attributes pane. Multiple Tableau components can now be hosted in the same view.
- When connected to Insight 5, Tableau workbooks are no longer synced between Workbench, Insight, and Tableau. A Full Publish to an existing Insight 5 app will remove any Tableau workbooks that are no longer present in Workbench.
- VDL actions for data manipulation are available on the Palette:
- <vdl-action-filter> allows to filter data based on values or keys
- <vdl-action-aggregate> now supports min, max, average, count and sum aggregation functions
