Board International made a commitment to provide extended product support for Board 11 when it was released over 5 years ago. Since 2019, Board has launched 2 new generations of software. The latest version (as of the publication of this article) is the Board 14.1 release, which represents a milestone in the evolution of…

The moment has come: Board Office Add-in documentation has been published on our new knowledgebase website (as well as the 12.6 manual). This documentation covers requirements, installation, about the Office Add-ins, and how to create Objects and Data Views. Some of the articles you will find are the following: Getting…
Hello, I have a scenario where i want to be able to tick one checkbox at a time on a the final Version Cube. In the best case scenario , i will lock by totals. However, given i already have a dataview cell locked , the total locked by doesnt work. I create another cube to set the value of the Final Version Cube. Now it…
With the release of the latest version of Board (14.1.0.0.208107), I noticed the new feature allowing users to change their own passwords on On-Premise installations. While this is a positive step toward enhancing user autonomy, it also introduces potential security concerns. Problem: In previous versions, password…
Hi, The customer need would be to have the color alert functionality working while the blocks are vertically aligned in the dataview. Example enclosed, the color alert is working well with blocks horizontally aligned. The idea here was to differenciate past and future data. Thanks
Hi, we are using Board version 12.6, revision 0.2.88217. Board does not run in the cloud, but on our own server. We use IIS. The following is stored in C:\Program Files\Board\Board Server\BoardEngineParams.xml: <EnableSessionExpiration>false</EnableSessionExpiration>…
At the moment, impact analysis only reports on the objects and their dependencies that are present in the data model. This excludes the capsule-level procedures. For example, If we search for a procedure and identify which other procedures make a call to it, it only lists the procedures at the data model level while there…
Hello everyone, I have a dataview with a layout selection and my problem is, that the drill down takes over the selection of the dataview, no matter what I choose in the rows (for ex. I have income and expences in the rows, but if I choose one for the Drill Down, it shows both of them, because I owerwrote the screen…
When I imported an Excel workbook with SmartImport, the rightmost sheet was imported. Is this by design? I need to explain to my customers. Could you please provide a link to the online documentation where this is clearly stated? Thank you in advance.
Hello friends Im looking for a way to standardise fonts across the board capsules, is there a way i can do same Rgds Khaleelah
Hi all, I noticed that "Capsule Print Template" is not available in the last versions of Board. https://www.boardmanual.com/prev-man/Chapter_7_-_Capsules_files/Capsule_Design/Capsule_Print_Template.htm That was a very useful section. Now with "Export printable report" is not possible to:* Insert an image in the header (for…
Hi there, Apologies if it was obvious and I missed it but is there any alerting mechanism within Board that could be used to , say alert in the event of task failures? Ideally using a webhook or something similar to update a slack or teams channel
While exploring some options, I found out the types of User metadata available in the On-Prem version of Board are quite different from Cloud. For example, options like drop-down are no longer available as type. It seems it happened from versions after 12.4. If you compare Board 12.4, it offered one of the options to…
At the moment, in REST API Calls if I have to set up a POST request with a body, the body type can only be in json format, which means that the only value supported for header Content-Type is "application/json". In some cases, especially API endpoints that return tokens but they are not standard OAuth2 flows (like in some…
We propose that profile security should automatically update when changes are made to the platform. Specifically, when a capsule folder is renamed using the "Rename" option in Board, the system should reassign the folder's permissions to the new name across all user profiles that previously had access to it. This way,…
Next to the logo, on the top bar, you can have a custom link, as explained here We have this pointing to a single page on our intranet. We call this button "Support". The user can click it to get to the intranet support page on our Board application. To provide a more context based approach, for the custom link, allow a…
We would love to have the ability to have selected filters highlighted, color coded, or another indicator showing which filters are selected.
For the user, when working on a FlexGrid, they might create a nice data view that they want to use again another day. Can you please add a way for the user to save the FlexGrid view. Maybe if you made say 3 slots, allowing them to save three different views, that would be ok. This would mean that when they open the screen,…
Currently, the capsule log only exports the cube name: In order to import and better analyse this log it would be very helpful if also the physical cube name would be exported (same as for instance in the data-entry log).
Hello, We just noticed that the Suggested Values Based on Cube feature has a limitation and it could be a good thing to improve its behavior. Currently, when the column is mapped with a text cube where the data expected is an entity value, it is possible to restrict the available suggested values using a cube. However, it…
We applaud our highly-engaged members this month!
