Using both rules and a hierarchy in a presentation by row
Hi all, Very often in our design choices we face a choice between a hierarchy model and a "flat" model, as explained in the knowledge base article Alternative approaches to modelling Finance Reporting in BOARD Most of the time we can manage with one approach or the other, but in some cases it leads to something more…

Running Tasks Details
It would be very useful to see in which Data Model the action takes place within the Running Tasks.

Multiple roles for same user
in current setup 1 role only can be assigned to a user. in some cases this is not enough. example we have a sales manager that has visibility to his customers only. but at the same time he is also responsible at global level for a product line pricing strategies. So he need to enter in the same reports with a different…

new object ADVANCED TIME SELECTOR
Idea: Add an object called “Advanced Time Selector”. This object is composed by 3 parts: the “standard selector”, the “dynamic selector” and the “calendar”, offering to user a flexible way to apply selections on time entities. Optionally the developer can choose to activate desired part. It appears like a normal selector,…

Display Add-in version in the Office Add-in settings
Currently, the board office Add-in does not show the version of the add-in right in the tool (for example in Excel). Once the add-in is installed, in the Board ‘Add-in Settings’ where it says, ‘Board Office Add-in Setting’ (see the screenshot below) can it say, for example, ‘Board Office Add-in Setting (12.5.xxxx)’ or a…

Maintain cursor in the selected dataview cell after screen refresh
In large dataviews with many columns, when a user has a cell selected (in one of the columns to the right after scrolling the dataview), we would like them to be able to run a procedure from a button, and that after a screen is refreshed, the dataview would not jump back to the first column, but would show the dataview as…

edit multiple blocks in a layout
have the capability to apply some setup to more blocks at the same time e.g. I have 4 blocks and I want to set 2 dec for all of them: I have to open once at a time and change setup 4 times. It would be wonderful have the capability to select more blocks and apply the same setting in 1 shot. The same in the block formatting…

change table/dataview from pivot to flat list
We are regularly getting the question from users if it's possible to change the standard BOARD pivoted table to a flat list. I know this functionality also from other BI-Tools and it would be great if the user can decide via dataview-menu if he wants to have a flat list shown. Default can be still the pivoted view, but the…

copy procedure from one capsule to another
would be great if one could copy or save a procedure from one capsule to another where also temporary cubes are copied. That would massively simplify the copying or even moving of a procedure instead of recreating the procedure by copying the steps and re-creating the temporary cubes.
-
Creation Date, Creator Info for Cubes, Entities, Procedures etc.
It would be very helpful if there is somewhere information at cubes, entities, procedures, data reader etc. when they have been created and by whom.

Layout "Data" column visibility
Hide and unhide a group of columns

[Cloud] Scheduled backup of capsules for life cycle management
Currently you have to manually backup capsule in Cloud for life cycle management purposes of your projects. It's not possible to schedule a backup of capsules toward the Shared Azure Storage like it's possible to do with database backup The idea is :* to schedule the processus from cloud portal either by calling a Board…

SQL data reader logs - own folder in cloud administration portal
Hi! It would be very useful if there was a folder that only contains discarded records for sql data readers in the cloud administration portal. As of now it seems that this information can be found under other logs but is mixed up with a lot of other logs. If logs were to get an own folder for data readers it would also be…

Add job start time to Board logs
1) What is your idea? To have the ability to track the start time of procedures and data readers (Board jobs) so any jobs that run for longer than a certain amount of time can be identified and someone alerted to investigate whether the job has become stuck or is hanging. 2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve?…

Row Totals at top of Data View option
1. What is your idea? Provide a data view option that will display the totals at the top of the view. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? Improve scrolling and navigation features of dataviews. This option already exists to move total to the left…

Possibility to align charts by the position of their axes
1. What is your idea? It would be most helpful if charts could be aligned according to their axes. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? For example, charts that stand below one another could be aligned on their y-axes; charts that stand next to one…

Chart Improvements - Distinguish between blocks in layout and in legend
Some of our customers have the desire to specifically select the blocks that should be displayed in the chart itself and which should be displayed in the legend. Thus, it would be helpful to have a function that allows you to explicitly choose which blocks to display in the legend.

BOARD 11:  Optimised pop-out menus for display device
I would like to suggest that the pop-outs be optimised for low resolution screens such as Laptops and tablets as, currently, options are hidden which risks incorrect screen configurations and critical features being missed. An example of an ineffective pop-out on a low resolution screen is that of the dynamic selection…

Enable data entry with "Vertical alignment"
In here, lots of customers are using following layout with Excel for budgeting. Put on measures(Infocubes) on rows. However, BOARD is not allowed data entry with this layout. When I put on cubes on rows with vertical alignment, data entry is not possible. I expect strongly with implemented this on board.

Broadcasting: Subject, CC, BC and Body
Dear BOARDville citizen, we are not happy with the current Broadcasting function (using BOARD 10.3). Currently we are using Broadcasting to inform our user about updated report/screen in BOARD. For example at the beginnen of each month we are informing our cost center responsibles about an updated report after the…

Beautiful Heatmaps
Heatmaps can be very powerful to make pairwise comparisons (e.g. when you have a list of scenarios). Unfortunately, we do not have many options for colormaps in BOARD right now, which limits their interpretation. For example, I think I would not be able to create the heatmap below in which I compute the difference btw…

Enhance the use of BLOB cubes
We're using the BLOB cubes to get attachments from our contributors and to consult them at central level within our organization. For a given reporting type, a single contributor can attach up to 50 external files. Currently, as soon as a contributor attached an external file, the file's name is lost for ever when stored…

Data View - Hide Grand Total
Add in graphic options of data view the option "hide grand total". In some cases it could be useful. See the picture attached: this report is by currency / company. here I want to see the total by each currency but not the grand total (sum of different currencies, no sense) Workaround: set same colour for grand total…

Export to Excel - improved file-naming
It would be useful to enhance the functionality of exports to excel (and pdf) to enable more meaningful filenames to be created. My suggestion is that there should (in Web) be 2 new properties associated with each object, for which export to excel (and pdf) would use as part of exported filenames. This would improve the…

Drill down - allow developers to choose opening size of popups
When the drill-down is selected, and the popup window appears (rather than going to a screen), the user is often presented with the need to use the horizontal scroll bar to display the full width of the data displayed, or to click on maximise button ( [] ) in top-right of popup window. We, as developers, strive to minimise…

FREE TEXT FIELD in Entities/Cubes/DR panels
Dear all I would find useful have available a free text field in entities/cubes/data reader panels. Just to add some notes, that can help the developer in further developments and maintenance activities of the database, especially in large and complex projects. thanks
