Speed Test Performance: definition of parameters and BOARD functionalities
The Speed Test functionalities verify the operation performance of the CPU, Disk access times and GPU Type.
Through these you can check if any unexpected decrease in performance might be due to hardware.
Client Speed Test:
CPU: 100 is the speed of our client reference system.
Over 100 is a good result.
Disk: 100 indicates the speed of our client reference system.
Under 100 is a good result.
GPU Type:
0 - no graphics card
1 - virtual graphics card
2 - dedicated graphics card
On the client it is important to have a good CPU and dedicated graphics card. In case of virtual graphics card, the graphics rendering is handled by the CPU, so if the CPU is not performing, the system could use more time in the display.
Server Speed Test:
CPU: 100 is the speed of our server reference system.
Over 100 is a good result.
Disk: 100 indicates the speed of our server reference system.
Under 100 is a good result.
GPU Type:
0 - no graphics card
1 - virtual graphics card
2 - dedicated graphics card
On the server it is important to have a good CPU with high frequency, the phase of data processing. The speed of disk access is important for loading in memory and saving to disk. (depends on Saving Policy)
Network Speed Test:
This test exchanges an amount of data between the BOARD server and BOARD client and returns the average speed in KB/s. The higher the better.
Firewall guidelines for BOARD Client and Geomap object
Map Images are downloaded by the BOARD client.
Any user who needs to visualize a GeoMap Object needs to have access to the below resources :
- open connection over port 80 and 8080
- http / https connections allowed
- Verify that you can connect to the tile and map servers: http://{prefix}.tile.openstreetmap.org/ (eg a.tile.openstreetmap.org)
- Map are downloaded as PNG images, so download for this file type should be enabled
If you have any issue about viewing the map, and you already checked that you can reach the above addresses and connection is fine, you should troubleshoot the connection to the openstreetmap servers directly on their wiki / support. OpenStreetMap Wiki

Re: InfoCube Error: "Invalid sparsity"
Hi,
Sparsity implies that there are at least two dimensions in a cube. This error usually occurs when trying to structure an InfoCube Version as 'sparse' when it has only one dimension. For InfoCubes that have only one dimension we should define the single dimension as 'dense'.
Have a look at this section of the Help Introducing sparse structures

Re: InfoCube Checksum not 100%
Hi there,
small differences in the Checksum % are likely due to rounding.
The Checksum function performs a grand total of the version, then the percentages are calculated based on these totals (which are displayed in the colum to the left). The grand totals are rounded to the seventh digit (7 spaces from the left), hence the small differences in the percentages.
Small rounding differences present no database or reporting problems.
A possible solution could be to re-define the Infocube data type to double.
This requires an Extraction and reloading of the infocube data
Large differences in the Checksum % are likely due to:
- "orphaned" entity members in the relationship structure (To verify, use the Scan feature in the Relationships screen - read more about Troubleshoot: effect of missing relationships or How to repair and prevent missing relationships in hierarchies)
- manual deletion of some items of any dimension of the infocube.
A solution for this would be to fix the releationships and proceed with a version alignement

Re: Disable "edit/configure layout" in HTML5
Hello,
it is possible to disable this feature from the Security Tab. You will need to access with an Administrator profile, edit the Security and define/create a User Security Profile with the "Deny layout designer" option checked. This will apply to all users which inherit this User Security Profile and will apply any device and interface used by these user.
(so if they use the Win Client or HTML5 interface they won't be able to edit layouts in either of them)
Hope this helped.
Regards,
Antonio
Re: Data visibility and security
Hi,
in order to apply a security, you will have to apply database security profiles to the User profile associated to every user (or group of users).
You can find how to and more info in our online manual Database security concepts
You can filter and/or apply restrictions on visibility of elements of dimensions (so, in your case, different Companies or Reporting Units), and combine this with the visibility of different information (so you can allow for visibility for revenues and maybe hide the margin from a specific set of users).

Re: Disable Web Client Menu Options
Yes,
you can check the Board 10 online
Board 10 Web Server Installation and Configuration
The settings can usually be found in the following path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Board\Board WebApi Server\App_Data\config\appsettings.config"
Here you have the following parameters:
- Host: here you can define the host and port, the default value is set to “http://*:80/”, to change the port to another one (let’s say 90) you might change the value this way “http://*:90/”
- BoardEngine: Address of the server where the Board Server service is running. If the Board Web Server is installed on the same computer of the Board Server, specify localhost (default value)
- Port: here you define the Board Engine port, default value is 9700
- LoacalAuthEnabled: if true, it allows username and password authentication
- WinAuthEnabled: if true allows windows authentication
- anonymousAuthEnabled When enabled, all users connect without having to type username and password, all users will inherit the same credentials.
- anonymousAuthUsername: username for anonymous authentication
- anonymousAuthPassword: password for anonymous authentication
- useSSL: Enable this option if your Board Server service requires SSL authentication.
- headerTitleHidden: this setting is used to show/hide the screen name in the top bar of the web client value, it can be set to true or false
- PresentationEnabled: this setting is used to show/hide the presentation environment, it can be set to true or false
- chatEnabled: this setting is used to show/hide the chat environment, it can be set to true or false
- cognitiveSearchEnabled: this setting is used to show/hide the cognitive space environment, it can be set to true or false

Re: status of BOARD knowledge base
Sorry,
I tried the link and it was not working so i provided another one.
I think that the knowledgebase will be migrated soon on the community.
Before opening the community the KB was only on support website, in future we will migrate all teh documents on this website
Re: status of BOARD knowledge base
Hello,
Here-s the correct link, we will correct the online help as soon as possible.
