Enhance user experience by adding search functionality
Sometimes, when working with databases providing more than just a couple cubes or entities, finding the cube or entity you're looking for in the drop-down lists can be pretty cumbersome when no search function is available. Consider this example from the action library for calling a procedure If, however, developers would…

Extract Cubes in Parquet-File
1. What is your idea? Board has multiple steps to extract data from cubes: Extract Cube Export Data View to file Export Dataset Extract all cubes All these steps save data as text or csv-files. We could save disk-space and increase performance by using parquet-files. Head-to-head comparison CSV Parquet Row-based storage…

Option to Hide Tabs
Dear all, The tab container is probably one of the most used objects across many applications and in my experience an absolute customer and user favourite.

Default Entity Member Labeling Convention to Excel Tab upon Export
When exporting a Board screen to excel and choosing to page by a given entity that within Board has been set to "code" as the default setting for that entity, the exported tab pages within the excel document appear as the description of the entity member and not the desired code of the entity member. It would be helpful to…

Codes and customer description in multiple columns.
Need to bring codes and descriptions in axes of the layout separately as individual items rather than single item. The requirement is to have the codes and descriptions of the multiple entities in separate columns rather than code or desc or both in 1 column for each entity in the axes. This also resolves the sequencing…

Possibility to define datetime function formatting
ISSUE: Datetime is always restricted to the cultural settings of the user (or in some cases the computer) that uses it. This could cause issues when, for example, an export of a cube that has a timestamp in it (that was created using datetime) is expected to arrive in certain formatting, but a user with a different culture…

Close Message Option
It would be great if the option existed to close the informative Board messages that appear on the screen (example below).

Automation possibilty for "Sparsity Optimization"
We very much appreciate the new sparsity optimization feature that makes manual export/import obsolete. It would be great if this function could also be automated. There are use cases in which plan data is cleared or zeroed out again, for example, but the sparsity remains full. Therefore, it would be very helpful if the…

Deleting entity elements made easy
There is already a guide on "How to remove obsolete entity members". However, this process should be much easier. It would be great if entity members can be deleted easily by hand. Especially, in big databases that would be a huge relief because it wouldn't be necessary to reload the entity and cubes. As a bonus, it would…

"Min" and "Max" as aggregation-functions
It would be very helpful to be able to select "Min" and "Max" as aggregation-functions on an entity, in addition to the existing "distinct count", "average" and "sum" (see second screenshot). Right now it is possible to display the min- and max-values as a row total (see lower dataview in the first screenshot), but not if…

Ability to set the color of background of the value on a card
Currently the background color can be set for all elements except for the background where the value is shown. This does not allow for the card to be to fully formatted to the company branding, as shown with the white box around the number. My client would like to set this to transparent. While this can be achieved with a…

Select entities to clear in a cube
Today we have the possibility, in a Procedure, to clear the Cube with existing selection ("Use current selection") or clear the whole Cube (default). If you only want to clear on specific Entities you will need to setup a save & restore selection and/or de-select & re-select specific Entities. Suggestion: Give the…

New screen object: Multi-Selector
Hi All, during a presentation of a process mining tool I saw a pretty neat object and thought that maybe this could be replicated in Board: A selector that allows you to choose the entity you want use in a drop-down. What could this look like? The object would be divided into an upper and a lower part. In the upper part…

Best regards

Feature to add a "+" symbol in front of positive values only.
Currently this can only be achieved by using text algorithms, which can be very time consuming and difficult to manage across multiple screens/objects. Using the image below as an example, can we add a feature to add a "+" value in front of the 89.0% without writing it as an text algorithm in the data view? I understand…

Option for logical/automated selection of Procedure on a DataView/other button

Standard "integrated" copy function for e.g., Versions, Scenarios etc.
Hi all, it would be great to have a integrated copy function. Use Case: During a planning cycle we want to copy a Version 1 into a Version 2 (Entity in a Cube). Therefore, we have to create a procedure, define temporary cubes without the entity Version, add for nearly each cube a step with temporary cube not dimensioned…

More options in the BULK INSERT function
I think that the BULK INSERT function, has a lot of potential, whatsoever, it is very limited right now, it would help a lot to add more functions other than INSERT INTO. For example right now I'm trying to upload the hierarchies of our database to a SQL Database, if instead of INSERT we could also have access to the…

Option "Disable Unbalanced Hierarchy" should work "per block" and not on all the dataview blocks
We have switch our main entity "P&L" to unbalanced. This entity is used in hundreds of dataview. Some dataview are pretty basic and unbalanced is working as expected. However we also have a lot of medium / high complexicity dataview with hidden factors cubes, or tech cubes. In that case, some business cubes need to have…

ToolTip on Row heading
It would be good if there was a way to get a tooltip to show on the Row heading column. There are times where the tooltip to be displayed relates to the entire row and not just a particular block, in these instances it would be very useful to have the tooltip show on the row heading/entity. At the moment the only options I…
