Vantagepoint Intelligence Overview
Vantagepoint Intelligence (VI) is an optional module that you use to create customized views of your information. This includes role-based workbooks that are accessible as dashparts from the Vantagepoint Dashboard. The VI Desktop Tool allows you to connect Vantagepoint Intelligence to various data sources.
Powered by Tableau Software, the Vantagepoint Intelligence (VI) module provides project-based businesses with a business intelligence tool for consuming Vantagepoint data in a graphical, easily interpreted format. With the Vantagepoint Intelligence Server and Desktop, you can use your Vantagepoint SQL database as a data source to create graphical performance dashboards. You create these dashboards in the Desktop Tool and upload them to Vantagepoint using the Intelligence Settings. You can then view the dashboards in the Vantagepoint Dashboard application.
VI is a complimentary tool that provides unique visibility into an organization's performance data.

Upgrading from Vision
When you upgrade from Vision, you must re-upload your existing Performance Management workbooks to Vantagepoint through Intelligence settings so that you are able to use them in Vantagepoint. Deltek recommends that you check the contents of the workbooks before re-uploading them to Vantagepoint, as the Vantagepoint database is different from the Vision database and these differences could impact the workbooks. Reviewing the contents also makes it possible for you to validate those contents after you re-upload the workbook.
After you re-upload a workbook, you can use to create a dashpart for viewing the workbook and then add that dashpart to a dashboard.
