Configure advanced settings

Under Advanced settings, you can control validation rules, and rename writeback columns. These options help you manage what data gets written back and how it is stored in the destination.

1. Validate writeback columns

In the Advanced tab, you can enforce validation rules on data before it is written back. You can use a null check or a formula-based condition.

1.1. Cannot be empty

Use Cannot be empty to write back only the cells that are not null for the selected field.

1.2. Enter formula

Use Enter formula to define a formula that must evaluate to true for cells to be written back. Cells that do not meet the validation rule are excluded during writeback.

You can also apply cross-filters. During writeback, the system shows a preview of excluded cells.

1.3. Prevent writeback when validation fails

Turn on Prevent writeback when validation fails to stop writeback when empty fields are detected. When validation fails, the system generates an exception notification with details about the empty measures, columns, or rows that do not meet the validation condition.

2. Rename writeback columns

You do not need to use the source dataset column names during writeback. You can specify a custom column name for the writeback table.

To rename columns, go to Writeback settings > Advanced and select Writeback column rename.

Use standard database naming conventions, such as snake_case or PascalCase, to ensure compatibility with your destination database.
