Localization – Additional filters on DB and Capsule
Goal: Have the possibility to filter on DB and Capsule: Why: To focus on just the DB and Capsule you need to translate. It would help in presales but also in consulting to easily and quickly „customize“ applications. In the current release you see all textstrings from all DB and all capsules running on your machine. That…

Text with placeholders to be filled with blocks
There are some reports with lots of recurring text and numbers that change. So I want to be able to use the label field and the dynawrite with not just one block, but with many. And in between put some text. e.g. "The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that its pending home sales index fell 1.5% to a reading of…

Keep dynamic selection active on the screen when using a selector
Using a cube to dynamically set selection on the screen is a very convenient functionality Dynamic Select. However, these dynamic selections are overwritten when there is a screen selector using a different entity from the same tree (screenshot attached). We want to use a cube by User and Project Category as a dynamic…

Rule Definition and Management Improvements
Good morning Community, I'm writing you to suggest some enhancements to the RULES set up page, as dealing more and more often with big corporate projects, the maintenance and implementation could be a bit slow and difficult and in some cases small changes could jeopardize the behavior of the whole process. What happens…

Customise Menu Button
I would like to suggest that Board provides a configurable/customisable menu, that enables users to select/deselect the buttons that they wish to appear at the top of the screen. This would help to minimise clicks and avoid unnecessary use of dropdowns. The previous version's 'Inline menu' option was only a toggle on/off…

Inline Menu Back for B11
B11 has brought many improvements in terms of ease of use and navigation, however with regards to the menu option on the top i am missing the inline menu. I am guessing there is many options and with B11 there is a fitting issue, but in this case maybe we should be able to choose which areas we wish to have in an inline…

Images/pictures from URL in dataview
I want to use dynamically pictures from URL sources in screens, dataviews, label. The dataview could profit a lot from it - right now pictures used in the Column Algorithm can only reference images out of the capsule. If URLs could be used as a source, much more dynamism would be possible, also leading to leaner capsule.…

Radius Around a Point On a Map - RAPOM
INTRODUCTION The Map object is my favourite objects in BOARD as it is simple to use, highly visual, intuitive and interactive. With little training, users can analyse data without knowing they are doing so; an important factor when introducing technology to tech shy corporate users. Using this object, a user can see…

Improve Date format in Export to Excel
Dataviews exported to Excel, that contain date cubes, do not behave as 'normal' excel users would expect. The dates are exported as TEXT, not dates. When an excel filter is added to column headings, the date column lists the dates in text order (not chronologically - eg 01/04/2018, 04/01/2018, 08/12/2016 etc) When sorting…

automatic `.all` entities as parent entities
Suppose you want to compare one customer with all the customers. You select one customer per pager and want to have a dataview with the sales of the one customer directly comparing it with all of them. You add two cubes, one with the sales for that customer and another with the sales of all customers. That second cube…

Dynamic ranking functions in dataview layout
At the moment the ranking functions are computed once for the dataview and only recomputed when the screen is refreshed. I'd like to have them dynamic. They should be updated whenever the sorting is changed by the user. So the cumulated values are computed as expected by the user. That would also allow finding out whether…

Search with (updating) downtotals
Currently when searching in a dataview, it is not possible to see at once the sum of rows that are returned by the search. It'd be great if the totals of the dataview could reflect the value of the search restriction.

Enhance the use of BLOB cubes
We're using the BLOB cubes to get attachments from our contributors and to consult them at central level within our organization. For a given reporting type, a single contributor can attach up to 50 external files. Currently, as soon as a contributor attached an external file, the file's name is lost for ever when stored…

Overlaying mask
Currently, a mask is applied underneath the screen so any object in the screen is rendered on top of the mask. Moreover, it doesn't allow to use layouts. It would be useful if to have layouts in masks and to have a new mask class that overlays the screen. In my current project, we are managing the user access to certain…

Synchronizing time axis between databases in a multi-database screen
Context Very often we have use cases where we need to compare data between two databases. We build two layouts (necessary because different data models) and we put them side by side. Having common selectors is of course not possible in the general case (that's the point of making two DB) but it would be very practical to…

Pivoting Dataviews
THE IDEA I would like to suggest that the dataview object retains all the native functionality available in horizontal alignment when using the vertical alignment (pivoted Dataview). EXPLANATION Currently, the dataview object is highly versatile in formatting and application when aligned horizontally. One can drill,…

Web Client: Copy Slide in Presentation Mode
Context This is a request directly coming from a customer and would STRONGLY enhance the usability of the Presentation Mode which would close the loop. Issue - The user has a reporting page where he/she starts from a blank screen with an empty dataview and user adds columns in the report builder - The user saves the…

reverse dynamic selection
I noticed that while in the select of an entity you can choose whether to make a selection or an exclusion, using the dynamic selection on a cube, you can not exclude what is in that cube directly from the select. It would seem more convenient to have this option in the select, aware that the problem can be easily solved…

treemap chart > modify the colour behaviour of tiles when alerts are used
1. What is your idea? currently, colouring treemap tiles (when a block alert is set) uses a shading function around the threshold value, e.g. for threshold alert = 4 and colour red, the tiles for values 3 and 5 will get a lighter red, whereas 4 has a full red colour. I have use cases where this behaviour is not the…

Selector & Pager based on a layout
The Idea : Add a new variant of the Selector object were the member - and there default status - are displayed based on the result of a layout. The layout values of these new objects should have add properties to the members : * visible : member is available in the list/screen selection * default : member is active in the…

user session & user stored cubes to help with user experience
The idea is to have cube where the user is dimension managed automatically by Board and invisible to the user himself as it set on himself (@user) for everyone. The purpose is to improve user experience by remembering his choice and his preference. I can see at least to useful variation : * User session are cleared when…

Acclaim Badges for e-Learning Certifications
While I'm a big fan of the quests and learning resources as part of the community site, I think there is an opportunity to promote BOARD and recognize accomplishments beyond just the community site. Acclaim is one of a few sites offering badges for recognition for accomplishments. Companies like Microsoft, Oracle and IBM…

INTEGRATED & ADAPTATIVE MANUAL
Hello some ideas about manual: * the Board manual should be improved and integrated in the board interface. * An a classic icon like (?) should appear somewhere in the top of the page and in the slide menu of objects * Different contents depending on license type. E.g. A developer will see the all the contents, a lite user…

OPEN A SCREEN WITHOUT LAYOUTS REFRESH
Dear community Inhibit initial layout execution refresh is now possible only in some cases. 1) through a procedure with an action "go to screen" + option "disable initial layout execution" or through an "On open trigger" procedure. 2) Using an ATO pager 3) while developing a layout, using the option "Apply" instead of "OK"…

QUICK RELATIONSHIPS SCAN REPORT
Checking relationships and identify missing items (from Bottom Up scan) or floating items (from Top Down scan) may result in a quite long activity, especially for big databases. And should always be performed by developers. It would be nice have a procedure action "check relationships" that perform the scan and generate a…

Substitution formula in the data reader protocol definition
It could be useful for developers to have substitution formulas recognized on the path of a data reader. This could help particularly in two situations: 1) If we copy a database on the same machine and rename it, there is no need of changing manually all data readers paths 2) When we want to load all files within the same…

Github Diff Viewer
Most BOARD installations use proprietary datasets that should not be shared for a variety of reasons. There also exist numerous, public, free, useful datasets that could facilitate more detailed analysis. Now that we have a community site to connect, the next step is to engage. Github is a popular tool used for storing…
