# Writeback ## 1. Connections With connection settings, the administrator can view, manage, and configure all the available writeback connections. This page lists all the writeback destination connections. Inforiver provides comprehensive filters and search bars to access your connections quickly. * The *search bar* narrows down the list based on the full/partial connection name that is keyed in. * The *Connection Type* filter can be used to view all the connections to a particular type of destination. * The *Updated By* filter can be used to search for connections that a particular user has updated.

### 1.1. Add a new connection To add a new connection, click the 'Add new connection' button to open the *Create Connection* modal.

In the *Create Connection* modal, you can select the required writeback destination. Click Continue to open the *Add Connection* page.

On the 'Add connection' page, enter all your connection-related details. Enter the connection name and click 'Save connection' to complete the connection creation process.

The created connection will be listed on the Connections page.

### 1.2. Edit/Delete connection You can edit the available connections using the edit icon(pencil) available on the top right corner of each connection.

Clicking the pencil icon will open the 'Edit connection' page where you can edit or make changes to the connection.

To delete any created connection, click on the 'Trash' icon on the top-right corner of the connection.

This will open up a 'Confirmation' modal. Click 'Confirm' to permanently delete the connection.

{% hint style="info" %} You can set role-based access control for writeback connections which is explained in [this section.](https://docs.inforiver.com/working-with-inforiver/12.-data-writeback/settings/writeback-security-settings#id-2.-role-based-access-control-for-writeback-admin-connections) {% endhint %} ## 2. Settings The writeback settings let admins configure various access settings for the users. The admin can configure the following settings:

#### **Settings** Users will be able to add destinations based on the settings configured by the admin. Admins can restrict users from creating destinations altogether or restrict the creation of certain types of destinations. For example, the admin can prevent users from creating database destinations by disabling the *Allow users to configure database connections* option. When the toggle button for a particular destination type is disabled, users will only be able to use admin-configured destinations and cannot create their own. The settings configured in the admin console will be applied to the Add Destination page as well. Users will only see the destination types they have permission to add.

{% hint style="info" %} In addition to the above settings, you can configure user access control for writeback destinations which is explained [here](https://docs.inforiver.com/working-with-inforiver/12.-data-writeback/settings/writeback-security-settings#id-4.-user-access-control-to-manage-writeback-destinations). {% endhint %} #### **Execute Writeback using optimized approach** Inforiver's writeback delivers faster writebacks and handles more data volumes - writeback up to 1 million cells with a 75% reduction in processing time. To trigger faster writebacks, enable the **Execute Writeback using optimized approach** toggle from the Admin console > Writeback Settings. This option is enabled by default for both existing tenants and new tenants. This option can be disabled at any point.
