When Natalie Gallagher, Principal Economist at Board, visited Board Beyond DACH, we seized the opportunity to sit down with her for a high-level conversation about the U.S. economy’s current trajectory—marked by rising inflation, slowing growth, and policy uncertainty—and how these trends are already sending ripple effects…
In today’s world, disruption is constant--economic shocks, supply chain volatility, and fast-evolving markets have made agility a survival skill. Traditional, periodic planning simply can’t keep up. At Board, we believe the answer is AI-powered continuous planning, a future where decisions are faster, insights are sharper,…

Author: Umesh Bugata is a Community Captain and Senior Software Engineer at Wipro. When I look back on my journey as a developer, the key areas that I focus on are my technical skills and soft skills and maintaining a balance between them. These include having sound technical knowledge of the tool, good understanding of…
Hi BOARD team, I built a simple data view report using Tab. Couple of tables are loading much slower comparing to others. The table is simple and highly summarized. Is there a tool in BOARD we can use to find out why certain reports take much longer to load? Thanks a lot
Hello, I am struggling to populate data into both the Annual and Monthly Data views. I have gone through all the steps again. I have also re-run all data readers and the BUD - Initialize Budget procedure, but my view is still empty, and hence failing functional testing. My currency selector also shows 2/2 instead of 1/1 as…
Background When the user mouses over a table, in the top left a small circle appears with three dots in it (used to be lines but in B14 it is dots). Click and a small menu appears with some common buttons and a further … to see more options. From B14 on, you can also right click on the table to get to this menu. We've…
Currently when using the rich text box there is a floating toolbar. The toolbar is nice, there's bold, underline, etc... but because it floats over the top of the text box, it can obscure the text while the user is typing. It is annoying to have to move it. To improve the user experience please dock the floating toolbar in…
Hello Community, Currently, data entry validation rules in Board are limited to conditions within the same data entry block. This limits our ability to implement advanced validation scenarios that depend on other layout blocks. I propose adding the capability to define validation rules that reference values from other…
I have an easy question, I have the following entity "Role" which appears like this in the Content tab: It seems that I can custom the order in which they will appear in any Dataview by dragging the elements in this content tab. My question is, if when the DataReader that creates the elements runs, it will mess the entity.…
Hi all, I can't get the @Selection substitution formula to work on the email sent by Broadcasting. Others are working like @User, @Date, @Time. Is there anything I need to do to make it work?
Hi Community, I would like to suggest a new feature for Layouts in Board: the ability to add comments to each bloc 🎯 Purpose: This would help developers document the purpose or logic behind each bloc directly in the Layout, without needing external documentation or complex naming conventions. The comment would be visible…
Hi, Is it possible to get the Overall Total of an Entity so I can get the % of Total even when there's an active Screen Selection? The sample table below show all Entity. Let's say Entity A is selected in the Screen. I still want the All Entity Total to show 75 even when the table is filtered. I will use this value in a…
Hello, we are trying to configure OpenID authentication in order to embed a Board report into an external application, following the guidance provided in this community post: https://community.board.com/discussion/15071/howto-embed-a-report-on-other-sites In our web.config, we have correctly added:…
Hello Board Team, I’d like to suggest a UX improvement for screens that use dynamic selections based on a cube. 👉 Current limitation: When using a dynamic selection linked to a cube, it’s currently not possible to see which dimensions (entities) are used in that cube from the screen configuration. This makes it harder to…
Currently, when working with unbalanced hierarchies in procedures, there is no simple way to select descendants of a parent element in a dynamic way. This limitation creates a lot of extra work during integration and makes maintenance difficult, as developers have to rely on complex and fragile workarounds. A simple and…
Automation is really important these days because it saves time and helps teams work better. That’s why I think it’s sad that customers using the Broadcasting Module in Board can’t get automatic email notifications through API users, Scheduled Jobs, or Batch processes. It would be great to have email alerts sent…
Currently, in the Time Range section of Board, we have the ability to use generic entities to address specific time-related business needs. Some common examples include: YTD (Year-to-Date) Months YTG (Year-to-Go) Months Monthly references such as JAN, FEB, MAR, etc. These generic entities are very useful for standard…
When creating charts Board automatically takes colours for the different series (which is good, especially as you can also manually change them). However, the values shown from the labels should be coloured in the way that it is visible…in the screenshot below the values in the blue series are not visible - if you hoover…
A little improvement to the selector object would be to always have the exclude button available when the object is on the screen. At the moment, it is only possible to either select (if the including option is enabled) or exclude (if the excluding option is enabled) I would like to decide on the spot if I want to select…
Hello Community Currently, when using the tooltip feature together with the 'Detail by' option, the tooltip only appears on the total row, not on the individual detailed rows. 👉 Interestingly, when the entity is placed by columns, the tooltip works as expected and displays correctly for each column value. It would be great…
