Form Builder
Form Builder
Create custom forms directly within your Tableau dashboard to capture and store data in a structured way. Connect the form data back to your dataset or use it in separate processes. Forms can also be used as surveys, letting you collect feedback or responses from your team without relying on scattered Excel sheets or manual workflows.
Default Values
Pre-fill form fields with values already present in your dashboard. This saves time, reduces manual entry, and ensures consistency by capturing dimensions and measures automatically, without user input.
Field Formatting
Customize the appearance and layout of your form fields. With a variety of field types, such as Date, Boolean, Multi Select, Number, Paragraph, and Single Line, you can create forms that are easier to use, more visually appealing, and tailored to your workflow.
Conditional Visibilty
Show or hide fields dynamically based on a user’s input. This makes your forms smarter and cleaner, guiding users to provide only the information that’s needed and making the form-filling process faster and more intuitive.
Field Validation
Set advanced rules for user input, complete with custom error messages. This ensures only valid and properly formatted information is submitted, improving data quality and reducing the need for corrections later.
Management Console
Tableau Sync
Sync users and groups from Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud with WriteBackExtreme, and automatically remove accounts that no longer exist to maintain clean, secure access control.
User Management
Users are automatically registered in the Management Console the first time they access a dashboard with WriteBackExtreme. Manage access through groups, assign roles such as Connection Manager, Schema Manager, or User Manager, and apply Row Level Security, all under a clear user-based license model.
Group Management
Easily organize users into groups with the same access needs. Set permissions once at the group level to instantly apply them to all members, simplifying management and reducing errors.
Workflows
Trigger notifications or actions in other systems directly from the extension. For example, when a user creates a collaboration record, automatically notify the assigned representative by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams.
