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…

Use of Rules in Layouts
The limitation by using rules in layouts should be elimiated since it limits the use of quick layout massively. In our case we calculate a %-KPI which can not be safed in a cube and must be calculated on the fly. Using the quick layout and having the rule set on the cube not only leads to not calclulated KPI´s but also…

Ability to mask descriptions in a demo mode
It would be great if we had a way to hide descriptions or have an alternate description that we could use to hide customer names, etc if we are demoing a model to outside groups. We have external reps we want to demo to and potentially at meetings of peers and conferences, but don't want to show customers names, group…

Copy/Paste Individual blocks from a layout
Hi, It'd be useful to copy and paste individual blocks from one object's layout to another, carrying forward any block references/functions applied to that particular block. This would remove the need to duplicate the same work across multiple objects requiring that same cube; making it more efficient to develop objects…

Allow data entry with selection on layout
Hi Community Members, although I am quite aware of certain "known limitations", there is one huge wish for future versions: It is not so uncommon that layouts with data entry enabled should be restricted to certain entity members, while the rest of the screen should still show all of them. In order to achieve this, a…

Rules: Time Functions & Select on Other Entities
To enhance the effectiveness of analyses through the use of rules, we propose the introduction of two main functionalities: the use of time functions and the selection of specific occurrences of other entities. Integrating time functions into rules would allow for greater agility in report construction, especially by…

New Procedure Step: Driver Allocation
The allocation procedure through a driver could be simplified by creating a specific procedure step (in a guided wizard style). Currently, to carry out allocation processes, it is necessary each time to design specific temporary cubes for the calculation of the driver. The procedure step could include the definition of…

User-Friendly Log Verification Section
To access and analyze logs, it is necessary to read the txt files located in the Dataset folder or access the dedicated section on Board Cloud, but still by downloading the txt files. To make this process more user-friendly, a front-end area in the System Administration section dedicated to log visualization would be more…

Enhancing Data Entry: Refer-To & Layout Selections
We suggest adding the ability to modify data entry cubes in a data view when refer-to and/or layout selections are present. This would allow for: Simplifying the design of data entry templates Reducing the size of the data model as it would require fewer cubes. Implementing this feature would not only enhance user…

Data Flow functions
I would suggest two new functions in a procedure Data Flow. A setting in the step that would make the dataflow work similar to the Data Reader setting "Replace Time Slice". This would sometimes reduce the need to pre-clear the cube before repopulation in the datafloe. A setting in the step that would mimic the Data entry…

Binary Cube
Hello, there are many situation where a cube is used to "flag" a certain on/off condition (like SBO, dynamic select, matrix cubes, etc). In most cases people are using integer cubes for this (in B10 a integer cube was 2byte per cell, in b12 it is 8byte per cell). From application point of view one bit (so true or false) is…

Change default Cube Data type to "Double"
A couple of years ago, we were suggested by Board to always use Data type Double, instead of Single. However, the default data Type when creating a new Cube is Single. I would also assume Double is the most common Data Type used in Cubes. That makes it more relevant to show Double by default. Suggestion: Change the default…

Hi team! We've recently had two customers and a partner reach out about the request to dynamically show or not show decimal places. Right now, it currently requires work arounds that involve layout adjustments or duplicated screens. We would like to request the ability to adjust the decimals we are viewing on a report…

Horizontal Orientation for the Expander
Hi, it would be great, if there would be a option to set a horizontal orientation for the Expander object. You could use it to build a dynamic menu bar, where you could hide labels without leaving a gap between them.

Show Message - Yes/No Option
Hi there! I think it would be really useful to be able to change the text in the Yes/No option. It can be Yes/No by default, but maybe you can add a way to customise it. An example would be this: It would also be great to change the colour of the button (not always blue).

Easier management of RULES
Often we need to delegate the management of the RULES to some User. In order to make it easier, it could be helpful to have a way to access and edit the RULES w/o accessing to the related DB area. Just for example, this can be solved using a standard Board Report (see below) where the RULE can be visualized and/or defined,…
