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:\.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Extract/Import Trees Unsorted
Hello, I'm sure any admin of BOARD has faced the issue needing to refresh Development Cubes/Entities with new info from Production. I'm sad to say that this process is FAR less straightforward than it would seem. It is very frustrating to always have to follow the steps of : A) Remove all sorting of entities (Production)…
