User Input Field for write back functions

Dear Team,

We’ve developed a dashboard that provides resource allocation suggestions for each account. For every suggestion, we’d like to gather user feedback. Currently, we’ve implemented a write-back function based on the AWS blog post: “Perform secure database write-backs with Amazon QuickSight.”:Perform secure database write-backs with Amazon QuickSight | AWS Business Intelligence Blog

However, our current setup requires us to add extra columns with predefined feedback options like ‘good’ or ‘bad’, which users select via hyperlinks. We’re wondering if QuickSight offers a more flexible feature that would allow users to input custom feedback directly into cells for each row of our resource allocation suggestions.

Does QuickSight support such user input functionality? Any insights or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Cindy

Sorry, QuickSight currently does not support user input within the dashboard.

It looks like you already have a workaround in place, adding a hyperlink on the dashboard that directs users to a form (e.g., Google Forms or Microsoft Forms) to collect comments or feedback on specific data.
