1. Abstract It's quite typical to incorporate a workflow for monitoring and managing various activities into Board applications. In certain situations, leveraging a Kanban board can greatly facilitate simplifying the visualization, monitoring, and control of these tasks. In Board, the card object fits perfectly for this…

Using a label with the caption set to @[entityname], it shows the codes of the selected occurrences up to a maximum of 12. From the 13th occurrence onward, it shows the number of selected items out of the total items in the entity (e.g., 14/5000). Does anyone know how to display the latter format (selected/total) even for…
Dear Community, I got a good one for you. My customer wants to enable a certificate authentication on the Azure shared storage (Access Security) , would you have any documentation to put it up? Is there any best practice in order to secure the Azure Storage ENV ? Thanks in advance
I have two date cube dimensioned by task that I need to visualise as a Gantt Chart. Now, I want to not show all the years but restrict it to only a few, however when I select years in the time dimension it does not restrict the shown years in the Gantt Chart. Is there a way to select the years I want to show?
Hello, In our organization we experience that users are kicked out of Board after a short period. It can be both when Board is not in use, and when we are working in a capsule. Board restart and we are thrown out of the capsule/ screen we are in and Board sends us back to the main page in Board. Does anyone have a solution…
Hi, I would like to know if there are any Text File Data Reader limits in terms of size of the data loaded. I'll explain : I have this DR which loads only the highlighted cubes without any error message. If I delete this 2 cubes, keeping the others, it only loads the 2 cubes highlighted following. The file I am trying to…
In Board 12 & 14, the Text File Data Reader has a limitation in how it handles .cfg files when a pattern filter is used in the "Connection" tab. This impacts the automatic mapping of fields and the correct configuration of the file settings, such as delimiters, headers, and other parameters stored in the .cfg file. Issue…
Hi, In Board14, there is some improvements on the engine called "Dynamic Engine" However the board documentation is vague, it is more marketing oriented than technical. So we don't know exactly in which area we will have benefit and how to measure it when moving from B12 to B14. For IT guys, administrators that have big…
Hi all, Please let me if Board been used for 'Operational Planning/ Scheduling' for 'Made-to-order' kind of scenario - where BoM is tricky (engineering goods/ assembly). Even if it is not at a day / hourly level production scheduling it's ok
Hi, I would like to ask everyone: what options do we have when we wish for dynamic headers in our data views? My client is still in Board12, but we have a Board14 upgrade planned for the near future. Specific issue: the client would like to have a report that has dynamic headers with regards to months and versions. There…
The additional user credentials are not logging in. Please advise, I can not complete the functional testing.
The idea is simple: Allow the use of Temporary Cubes on Smart Import objects as we do for Data Readers. It should be possible to type the Temporary Cube name and load data into it. The Temporary Cube should be configured in the Trigger Procedure launched after a Data entry action. Today, for the Smart Import object, we…
Hello, it would be helpful if we could display a value in the “show message”-procedure step as part of the message and ideally also change it. Example: Planned values from the previous year are to be transferred to the current year, taking into account an increase factor. As part of the procedure, the user would be…
Hi, I wish to have the split&splat functionality broadened, so it is not only able to split values according to the existing proportions, but have the ability to repeat the value, or to spread it evenly onto all leaf elements that are open for data entry. It would be excellent if developers could set what kind of…
Sometimes you'd want a certain block displayed as a single column an others displayed per element in the entities by column. This could for example be a budget for the year and than the actuals by month. The way we have always achieved this is kind of an awkward work-around. For the block that should be a single column we…
Hi all, currently we have no way to monitor performance of the layouts executed in a flexgrid object, which is key to understand performance issues and the use of the new object by end users. Idea : add a new log to track the following info on flexgrid layouts executions : dimensions used in rows number and nature of…
Hi Today the alignment is presented to the right for Name orientation for collapsed nested entities. Can you make us have the option to chose left or right. Lars
instead of clicking on the button again
The filter option in the logs is frustrating to work with in its current state. The standard option is not "contains", infact contains does not exist at all. The field requires the date and time as an input, it's not possible to filter for example by year unless you choose one of the other options other than equal
These buttons exist in B12 but were removed in B14. They significantly reduce the amount of clicks needed to remove set options from a block. In the case of the detail by it is difficult to even find the reset option at all.
We applaud our highly-engaged members this month!
