M2 Formbuilder with Write-back Extension
M2 Form Builder extension expands the standard Tableau functionalities. In a traditional setting, Tableau dashboards only visualizes data that is read from an underlying data source. The dashboard reflects the current status of the static data in the accessed database. The user cannot make any changes to the data in real-time on the dashboard itself. But what if you need to input new data for our datasource? And you want to do it directly from the convenience of the Tableau dashboard?
M2 Formbuilder which offers Write-back extension tackles this issue by introducing the Write-back extension. Extensions can be added as dashboard elements via drag & drop. With the Form Builder as part of the M2 Tableau Toolbox, you can design input screens via a web interface and include them as a Tableau Write-back Extension in any dashboard. You can use the forms to write data directly from the dashboard back to the data source.

Connect
Write the data to any database supporting JDBC technology. Each form extends your Tableau dashboards with the ability to write to the database via Tableau Writeback Extension to reduce tool breaks and simplify processes. You can use the forms with all common databases (Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle).
Design: You operate the Form Builder via a web interface on which all forms are created and managed. The forms are created with the help of a simple editor, which provides all necessary elements. The design of each form can be individually adapted to the target dashboard via custom CSS. For the dashboard user, the form embeds itself seamlessly.
Link to Tableau: The forms are downloaded directly from the Form Builder as a Tableau Extension in TREX format and can then be easily integrated into the tableau dashboard.
Security: The Form Builder comes with its own individually configurable security concept. This ensures that write access to the data source is only possible in the designed context of the dashboard.
