How Write Back Works

If a user has the Write Back to Database privilege, the write back fields in their reports display as editable fields. If the user does not have this privilege, the write back fields display as normal fields. If the user updates a value in an editable field and clicks the write back button, the application then reads the write back template to get the appropriate insert or update SQL command. It then issues the insert or update command. If the command succeeds, it reads the record and updates the report. If there is an error in either reading the template or in executing the SQL command, an error message appears.
