Unexpected behavior with empty Procedure Groups
Cloud Version 12.6. This might be considered a bug, but I will report this as an Idea of changing Procedure behavior. When a Procedure contains an empty Group, Board will immediately jump to the group below and consider the steps from the group bellow to belong to the empty group. However, if the empty group instead has a…

Enhance SAP DataReader procedure step with substitution formulae
It is possible to set additional parameters in the procedure step referring to an SAP DataReader Unfortunately, it is not possible to use any substitution formula here where the values to be used could be directly derived from a selection. The parameter is directly transferred to the connector as plain text. It would be…

Relevant documentation linked in IDP Import
Hi, When importing into IDP, documentation is mentioned in the drag and drop screen. It would be nice if this were a link, so we could click it and immediately start reading the manual, without having to search for it. Thanks!

Export and import of users from IDP should use tab delimited .csv instead of comma delimited .csv
Hi, When we export the list of users and their settings from the IDP today, the data gets exported into a .csv file that works with regular commas as separator objects. This can cause problems, as it is possible to have commas in emails, in metadata, in the name of the role, etc. If then the file is opened and worked with,…

If a user does not login for a specified time, their account is disabled automatically
In the IDP we have a max number of licences. In order to better manage those licences, could we have an automated feature whereby the user is disabled (in the user profile in the IDP there is a disable tick box) if the user has not logged in for a specified time. For example, if the user doesn't login for 12 months, the…

A way to link objects automatically?
By this I mean applying sizing changes & formatting. When selecting multiple objects on 12.6, there does not seem to be an option to apply changes across labels?

Track Cubes in Cube Visibility
Cube Visibility in Data Security is a great tool. However, it can be difficult to track which Cubes have been set. Especially when new Cubes are created during development. It would be helpful if you are able to highlight which Cubes have been set.

Ability to Set a Data Entry Trigger in drill down popup
Currently the Data-Entry Trigger can be set only by the master data-view , it will be good to set a custom data entry trigger specifically designed for the drill-down popup. For now, we can work around the issue using 'Drill to Screen', but it would be interesting to have this capability within the 'Drill Down' itself.

Order of filtering in Layout Selection window overrides Custom Sort order ranking on Entities
Hi, I noticed that my custom sort for this entity was not being followed on the data view the way I ranked it in the data model (image 1). It took me a while to realise, but I wanted to make it aware that the order of ranking in the layout selection window overrides the Custom Sort. This is misleading. I believe the Custom…

Styles and Themes for Objects
For each object type, the ability to create multiple saved styles and then save those styles to a theme so that when creating a capsule you can select a theme and when you create an object you can either do the usual and create a custom design or simply select from a list of predefined styles. Additionally if you update…

Selection of screen object & navigation behaviour pattern
Version 12.4 To help navigate complex screen designs which include tabs/panels, it would be helpful when clicking on an object within the screen to automatically navigate to the correct object in design mode - will save a lot of time for end users. Note - this may have been updated in a later release of Board, cannot find…

Exit Procedure with "X"
Cloud Version 12.6 I recall seeing this idea before, but can't find the post. In case my (human) memory is lacking, I will post this as a new idea. When hitting the "X" in a Procedure message, the Procedure will act like I pressed the "OK" button - the Procedure continues. I understand you can use "Yes/No" option in a…

See all Entities placed in Columns in Excel Add-in
Version: Board 12.6 In Excel Add-in, when adding more than one Entity in Columns, only the lowest placed Entity will be visible. However, with multiple Entities in Rows, there's a new column added in the spreadsheet. Suggestion: Have the same solution for Columns as for Rows. Have Excel add extra rows, when using multiple…

Downloading/Extracting files to selected folder
Cloud, Version 12.6 It would be convenient if you could choose where you download/extract files. Today, Extracting an Entity ends up in the not accessible C:\. My suggestion is that the file is downloaded to your "Download" folder on your Computer ("My Documents") or that a File Explorer opens up and you can select where…

Dynamic links in Procedures
When changing a Cube name that exists in a Procedure step, the Procedure will not update the name, but the linking remains. However, if a Procedure name is changed, the Call Procedure (a Procedure step) link is broken. This is regardless if it's a Data Model Procedures or a Capsule Procedures. Changing Group names (Go To…

Edit Code in Entity Editor
It's great that the User can edit the Description in the Entity Editor. It would also be useful if the Developer can give rights to edit the Code as well.

Set duration for a popup notification
It would be useful to have the possibility to set the duration for the popup notification. For better user experience, in some cases I don't want to use the non-popup notification, where the user needs to click "ok" to continue. But using the popup notification, sometimes you barely have enough time to read the…

Opening Balance Roll Forward over all future Periods
Currently Board has no "native" Opening to Closing balance function. Currently this can be handled using Nexel or using two cell blocks and a formulae to reference the block before. The first alternative using Nexel works but is tricky to set up and is associated with a specific view. The second is worse as the roll over…

Localization - possibility to Import/Export text in localization file
Hi all, It would be useful to have the ability to import text into the localization file or maybe Export the file instead. If the text I'm loading matches, then it performs the replacement in all the languages I'm importing, if it doesn't exist in the collect it is ignored. Thanks

Hardcode 'down total' formula to prevent it from referring to another block.
Hi, I've been having an issue where my 'Sales Mix (%)' calculation refers to a moving block from the layout, instead of maintaining the 'down total' function. To calculate 'Sales Mix (%)', I am using the algorithm: (Sales/Down Total (Sales))*100 or c/dt(c)% in the below example. The issue I am having is that the data view…

Adding "Apply entity selection to screen"
Hey, when e.g. using "fake" selectors on screens to add different selections based on cube like currency on a country selection etc. you always have to use the "Apply selection to screen" option. This "apply selection to screen" then always overwrites the "default" selection when resetting selections on different entites…

Summary Algorithm NOTOTAL for Column Algorithm (Layout)
Hi all, it would be great to have the same function (NOTOTAL) for column algorithm as in the data selection. Attached you will find a screenshot. Use Case: Column algorithm calculates a percentage of a data selection. Down totals for data selection are required, but down totals for column algorithm in this case makes no…

Smart Import tick/save - change to "Import"
The Smart Import has a tick button to import the lines. This button has a tooltip that says "Save". This is not true, it isn't saving, it is importing. Can you please allow for this button to be changed to "Import" or at least if the tooltip could be changed from save to import, at least that would help a little. It's…

IF THEN ELSE
In the if-then-else step in procedure, A feature can be added where we can compare the value of two cubes instead of just numbers. It might save lot of efforts.😀

Add setting to allow horizontal display of "@Selection" substitution formula
In the image below, I'd like to display all of the selections horizontally on the grey banner, which is not possible using the substitution formula "@selection". Current workaround is to create multiple labels for each entity selected (8 in this example) and individually place them side by side on the banner which can be…

Option of restricting elements for selectors
Up to now, for a selector, there was only the possibility to display all elements or only the active elements. However, I had the requirement in many projects that the selectable elements should be restricted depending on other filtering. Reasons could be for example: Elements of entities are no longer valid, but should…

Number Scaling - formatting options
The new function is pretty good - but it would be really good, if there would be some formatting options for the number scaling —> e.g. k instead of K or T instead of K etc. Also deactivating the suffix would be great - so just having the value without K/M/B

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…
