### Usability

Write-Back enables you to do the whole process through a UI, from setup to data submission as well as configuring your own datasets. This means both dashboard creators as well as dashboard viewers can easily use Write-Back in an agile way. 

-   It has an intuitive UI that allows tailoring usage according to your use cases, including submitting data on forms, tables and data grids. 
-   Add, edit and delete data entries from the UI. All database management actions are handled automatically by Write-Back.
-   The original data is never affected because Write-Back uses a different database to store its data.
-   Displaying rich text on Tableau dashboards is also available.

### Governance

Since Write-Back runs on a separate service we need to ensure that security is also applied here. To ensure it will be easily integrated, Write-Back enables you to choose one of the Single-Sign-On (SSO) mechanisms to be used as an authentication method:

-   SAML Single-Sign-On
    
-   OpenID Single-Sign-On

### Administration & Embedding

Write-Back has a tool dedicated to the configuration and management of Write-Back. 

-   You can easily manage some technical settings, including database connections.
    
-   An authorization mechanism is available so you can manage who does what. 
    
-   There is also a theming mechanism so you can adjust Write-Back look regarding colors.
