What is write-back?

Write-back is Inphinity's extension for Qlik that lets users to input and edit data directly through dashboards, bridging the gap between Excel spreadsheets and full enterprise systems.

Benefits of write-back

  2. Built-in data validation prevents common errors and ensures data quality
  3. Secure access controls ensure users only see and edit their relevant data
  4. Full audit trail tracks all changes automatically
  5. Real-time updates mean everyone works with the latest information
  6. Familiar spreadsheet-like interface makes adoption easy for Excel users
