Research direction

Start by locating the View Item implementation in this Python Tableau Server REST API client and review the linked Tableau data dictionary entry for the Workgroup view index. Add the view index to the exposed View Item data while preserving workbook order, then verify the result with the relevant existing tests or API response fixtures.
