Write-Back

Write-Back Server – Input data. Write now.

Write-Back Server is an on-premises extension that allows you to take Tableau usage further and implement use cases where you need users to input data, such as forecasting, planning, adding comments or any actionable process. This is all done in an agile way but fully controlled and secured, including features like on-premise execution, audit, multiple back-end databases and integrated authentication.

All this is easily configured in the Write-Back manager, which lets you do a production configuration or simply run a trial in a few minutes.

With one Write-Back licence, you can implement as many use cases as you want and use the product across all the dashboards you need.

Security & Audit track – Keep your data secure and audited

Write-Back is regularly submitted to penetration tests in addition to being developed and updated following industry best practices regarding security.

Write-Back is deployed on your infrastructure, using your database, and does not require internet access. This means that no one outside the organisation will have any access to the server or database, guaranteeing the security of all data submitted through the product.

Authentication mechanisms are assured. Manage access in a simple and effortless way. The following mechanisms are supported: Active Directory / LDAP; Tableau Server; SAML Single-Sign-On; OpenID Single-Sign-On and Kerberos.

It also provides an authorisation mechanism that allows you to define which role users will have when interacting with Write-Back.

Finally, any action on Write-Back regarding data or configuration is audited, so you can always keep track of who did what and when.

Databases & Write-Back Manager – Use your database of choice

You typically want your datasets side by side with your existing data that will be used on Tableau data sources. This will provide the best experience to your users and increase performance when joins are necessary.

To achieve this, you can configure Write-Back to store datasets on your database of choice; Write-Back supports many technologies such as SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redshift, Oracle, Snowflake, BigQuery and more.

Besides, everything from basic configuration to theme customisation is possible in the Write-Back Manager, a web environment that guides you through the process.

Releases

Write-Back is continuously being improved. We aim to release Write-Back major versions every 4 months, where new features are added, and minor versions in between. The bug will always be fixed as soon as possible after being identified. We are very sensitive to our customers’ feedback, and whenever a suggestion or request makes sense to incorporate into the product, we try to prioritise its implementation in the next release.
