> Guides you on using mutations for inserts, updates, deletes, and running tasks within a GraphQL schema.


You can perform inserts, updates, and deletes on all the company and system tables. This is possible with the `mutation` operation. Additional mutation operations include running processings and reports as well as executing queries asynchronously.

Mutations are available with the `mutation` field at the top of the GraphQL schema, as shown in the following image:
