Blockchain Datareader
Background Blockchain projects represent a new datatype with some fascinating properties. These global, distributed, decentralized, immutable ledgers use cryptography to account for digital tokens. Just as we need to pull from databases and ascii files, loading a blockchain into BOARD could prove to be a helpful tool in…

Excel Datareader
While I understand why CSV files can be more standardized and consistent for ETL processes, I think it's time to add Excel as an option for a datareader. A user can specify the filename, and tab name to be used for the datareader. Use Case * An excel file is produced and placed on a network share * A user clicks a button…

Integrate drill through results in reports
Hi all, I want to use drill through results in dataviews and charts. If I'm not mistaken the drill through only opens a table with the results from the query. The idea is to integrate relational elements with the board elements as if they were the same. That way I can have a quick analysing tool with a small DB footprint…

enhance dataflow understanding for cubes' structures: new tab in dataflow layout
1. What is your idea? the idea is to help the developer who designs dataflows in procedures and help him understanding at a glance which entity structures from both factor and target cubes are involved in one dataflow. This understanding is very important for designing and maintening dataflows. * I would wish a new tab in…

Web GUI for Server Config and Adula Params
Hi All, We have the following situation: You can edit the functions od BOARD and board server via the serverconfig GUI, via boardengine.exe.config (XML), via server_config_v2.xml (XML) and via adulaparams.xml (XML). The current situation brings some challenges: * There is no GUI for BoardEngine.exe.config and…

Custom dataview options and actions
BOARD already uses the design of having users mouse over an object and then see additional options related to that particular object. I would like the ability to add options or actions to particular objects on a screen. Maybe this is already possible, but I don’t know how to do it. If that’s the case, please let me know…

Save Capsule as - Copy Folder
Hi Guys, Many times I had to copy one or more capsules both in my local environment or from the production to the development one. As yuo can image, big applications can have more than just few capsules. Unfortunately actually it is not possible to copy more than one capsule at time. Therefore my proposal is to add an…

Cube Title as a Combobox
When I view the structure and versions of a cube, the text box can be changed to change the name of the cube. This is helpful when setting up new cubes, but doesn’t facilitate reviewing multiple cubes quickly. I would like to see a selection arrow at the right end of the text box that allows a user to select a different…

Service Windows / Maintenance
During the lifecycle of one BOARD project, we may experience the need to execute critical actions on database structure that require the exclusive access. This means we have to be sure that Users cannot access to the system and/or execute any kind of actions, especially run procedures, data entry, ... This becomes more…

Home Screen choice straight through to capsule -Web
In respect to web. (I am aware this is possible on the standard client) There are particular user communities that don't need to navigate through favourites, folders, capsules to complete or see their task, examples are users who return to the same information and indeed that might be their sole use. As we grow BOARD in an…

Dynamic Selection within Layout
A good improvement would be the chance to set up a dynamic selection within Board Layout. This way you should be able to create different infromation scenarios in the same screen according to cubes parameters or current date.

Aligning Screen objects over multiple screens
It would be nice to have the possibility to align a screen object within screen A with a screen object within screen B. At the moment it is only possible to align screen object within the same screen. Alignment over multiple screens would make it much easier to achieve consistency regarding placement of pagers, selectors,…

Drill Peek
When navigating a grid dataset, we already have the option to make each cell a button. From that button, we can drill to a screen or protocol for more information. Doing so opens the target in either the same tab or a new tab, changing the focus to the new screen. I think it would be nice to provide a peak tool, such that…

Cubes tab to show Cube Entities and Sparse Structure
In bigger projects where you have a large number of cubes, it is often required to review cubes structure. i.e. Cube Entities or Sparsity. At the moment, the only way to do this is to click on Cube and open Cube structure window. It would be nice to have another column on "Cubes" tab showing Sparse structure and Entities…

Edit Font Colours where Alerts used
Currently it is not possible (as far as I can see) to edit the colour of your font if you are using a block alert. In the example below I cannot change the font colour from black. Sometimes it is desirable to be able to change this for best visibility against the background alerts. The same issue also applies to a label.…

Filter by Column
It would really be useful to be able to filter by columns the same way we can filter by criteria on the row. "Show All" works in some cases but not all. Compounded by the fact that switch row columns is not available in HTML5, sometimes there is simply no workaround to have charts with more complex filtering…

Increase max Number of Cubes
Hi, in BOARD you can create max. 999 Cubes, which is enogh in many projects. But we're facing the problem, that in some bigger Projects we're using a lot tec-Cubes and so it is sometimes hard to be within this limit.So it would be great, if this limits get extended in a future release. Examples for Tec-Cubes (mostly driven…
