Write to the Database from the Dashboard

[scarr1980]

We are looking to determine whether Qlik Sense will be a good fit for a project we are going to develop.

At its most basic, our project is a KPI Table in SQL which is read and styled in Qlik Sense and displayed as a simple (conditionally formatted table)

The part I'm looking to clarify is this:

Can Qlik enable our users to write to the DB from the Qlik dashboard - ideally by way of a text input box on the end of each of the 100 KPI rows.

The user input, would be updated once per month and all records would be kept.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

it is only possible through custom extensions.

e.g. below one from garden. in some of our projects we have customized this  and used it

there are also paid ones too which may better suit your needs

Thank you for that. Much appreciated.

When you say you customized it, did you do much customization and is it complex to do?

Also, for now I'm developing a proof of concept using an Excel file source - can I use this extension or do I need the SQL Server set up?

Thanks again.

you need javascript developers to customize it.

And excel will not work. needs to be a DB
