Editable Conditions

Allow editing records only when a condition is met

Set conditions to allow or deny users the ability to edit a row in WriteBackExtreme, if this condition isn’t met then the logged in user will not be able to edit the comment. For example if the status of the row is ‘Current’ then that row can be editable, all rows that do not have a current status will be uneditable, or if you wish to have comments only about ‘Phones’ this is also possible. Conditions for editing can be based on either a data source from your dashboard, or on existing records within the underlaying WriteBackExtreme schema.

Allow adding records only when a condition is met

This feature does not work with Data Correct module.

There may be situations where you want to restrict the ability of your users to add new records in WriteBackExtreme. For example, you only want your users to be able to add a comment to data within the current fiscal period, or based on the total amount of sales related to a selected mark.

Set your condition using the editor in the “worksheet-schema | general” tab in the WriteBackExtreme configuration screen. In this example, we will limit the adding of records to any mark with SUM(Sales) above 250000. This will allow your users to only add comments on marks where SUM(Sales) exceeds US$250.000.

As seen in the example below, the “add record” button (the pink + plus sign) is disabled when a mark is selected that does not match the condition setup previously (SUM(Sales) must exceed US$250.000).
