Usability

Write-Back enables users to manage the entire process through a user‑friendly interface—from setup and data submission to dataset configuration. It is accessible to both report creators and consumers with the appropriate Power BI permissions.

• No-code solution: implement actionable use cases without development teams
• Flexible UI: submit data via forms, tables, or smart data grids.
• Bulk insert via Excel: download a template, fill it out, and upload it directly into a dataset.
• Add, edit, and delete data entries via UI. All database operations are handled automatically.
