It appears to be at the beginning of the intonation rise; the example in the IPA Handbook is English "How did you ever escape?" [<R>haU dId ju Ev@r I<F>skeIp] (I hope there aren't any "r" and "f" tags in HTML ... if so, those X-SAMPA versions of "global rise" and "global fall" won't show up on some mail readers ... another annoying feature of X-SAMPA. But then, ideally mail readers wouldn't try to interpret HTML tags.) So if you want the intonation to rise over the word "viflijj", you'd put it before the [vi].
