What a “read-only Tally dashboard” means, and why it matters

Many owners want to see their Tally numbers without opening Tally or waiting for the accountant. Many also worry, rightly, about letting another program near their books.

Read-only means the software can look but cannot touch

It copies figures out of Tally so you can see them elsewhere. It never writes a voucher, edits a ledger or deletes anything. Your accountant’s books stay exactly as they were.

Questions to ask any vendor

  1. Can your software write back to Tally? The answer you want is no.
  2. Does it need to accept connections from the internet on the computer that holds my Tally data? It is better if it only connects outwards.
  3. How old can the figures be, and does the screen tell me?
  4. Who at your company can see my data?
