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…
Hi, any idea who I revert My screen view back to the original screen view? Br, Maik

Hello, I am having a challenge with previewing data after completing the steps below My preview returns empty. with just product in the first row and total in the second. No other data is present. I suspect that I may have missed a step in the set up of the temp cube, but I struggling to find what it is based on the…
Hi everyone, I wanted to share a valuable piece of feedback from one of my clients regarding the user experience with selectors in Board 14.2 : Item Spacing: The items in dropdown selectors are currently too widely spaced, which limits the number of visible options. A more compact layout would improve readability and…
Hi, if you display a Board cube in a DataView and group it by an entity, then a sum is always formed for the values from the cube. Is there also a way to form an AVG(), MAX() or MIN() on the individual values instead of the sum, so that an average or a maximum value is obtained from the individual cube values? I would like…
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.

Hello, In B14, there is currently no way to interact with a data entry drop down list without using the mouse. The user must double click on the cell to display the drop down list, and then click once again to choose a member. In data entry forms that are comprised of a mix of direct data entry and suggested values, it is…
Hi, I would like to suggest a new feature on select based on cube on procedures. Quite often I need to select tuples based on cube even if the sum of the tuples over a period = 0. In order to do so we have to create a Temporary cube. Could we imagine an option just like keep mode to set select tuples even if the sum of…
When you are on a screen in a capsule and open the screen list (either via fly out or via the buttons) the screen-list appears in the collapsed form (if there are subfolders in the capsule). I would prefer if the screen list would open showing the screen you are on and therefore show this folder structure open. From my…
When creating data model packages for databases with numerous entities and cubes, the 'changes' list often includes a large number of position-only updates. For example, my last package had 102 entity changes, with 98 of them being solely positioning updates. This makes it difficult to identify meaningful changes. Please…
Hi, When hovering over tooltips in a layout, a confusing triangle shape appears. This shape can be misinterpreted as indicating additional information about a specific field (e.g., 'Measure Type' in the attached screenshot), which is not its function. Can the triangle shape be removed?
