Hello everyone! I have a question: does anyone know if it's possible to establish a connection between Board and Google Docs? I have a questionnaire that nearly 200 people will need to complete, and the different scores they enter should be aggregated to calculate averages. Ideally, they could fill it out in Google Docs,…
We recently executed a backup and restore of our core data model from production to non-production. Everything was aligned momentarily; However, as soon as we developed a couple new objects (cubes, rules, entity formats), the data model comparison tool exploded to show several hundred changes between environments. Of the…

Problem : When working on long and complex procedures in Board, it's easy to get lost navigating between multiple steps, loops, and conditional blocks. The current linear view makes it hard to maintain an overall understanding of the structure, especially for debugging or reviewing purposes. Suggested Feature: Add a Mini…
Give the possibility to display data in currency format (thousands separated by a dot) and in k€, similar to Number Scaling options available in Dataview. Also in pie charts display values next to or inside each portion (always in currency and k€).In flexgrid charts insert axis labels to make the chart clearer.
Dear While building the Indirect Global expense account, the dataview is not in dataentry mode despite dataentry has been set on the cube. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Khaleelah

Hi All, Has anyone tried to trigger a Data Model procedure from Board Excel add-in using an API or any other approach? Regards, Vikash
Hi all, I'm investigating possibilities to save arbitrary selections (see post linked below) but I find that even if I can manage to save them to a text cube, it is impossible to "restore" them when needed in the context of a maintenance interface. However, it is possible in the context of a procedure, to save the current…
Hello Community Problem: Currently, there is no way to preview the output of a Dataflow without executing it entirely. This leads to several issues: Risk of overwriting existing data if the logic is incorrect Long execution times, especially without perimeter filters Difficulty testing or validating transformations safely…
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…
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…
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…
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…
