Procedure header / main comment box
It would very useful if in each procedure we could have a large comment box where we can add general information about the procedure. For example a brief description of what it does, relevant comments, etc

Map Repository
I have seen a similar idea "Map object enhancement". However that idea requires development effort. My idea would be to create a repository of colored maps, where the world, countries and regions or provinces could be found in perfect working order and ready to be used in board. This repository could be stored either on…

Highlight the row of the focused cell for data entry simplification
Hi, when you have a large report where few columns have data entry option and you move through the cells with arrow keys, sometimes is difficult to see on which entity you are writing a value. It would be nice to have an option that highlight the entire row (or only the row heading) of the focused cell.

Understand numbers with special characters
Overview When loading data through ASCII data readers, I have run into challenges with special characters in numeric fields not loading. Dollar signs and commas are the most frequent. BOARD does not understand that $12,345.67 is a number. I have to add string manipulation steps in ETL to parse out the dollar sign and…

Blur Other Objects
After reviewing some of the e-learning materials, I noticed how the videos blur the background while text is the focus of the video. From a visual perspective, it draws the eye exactly to the text, removing distractions from view. We already have a property to hide objects, but I would like to be able to focus attention…

Select library
Many times happens that the same Select, involving more indipendent entities, have to te applied to many screens or procedure actions. E.g. in sales area most reports have selection on a region (tree site), extracompany customers (on tree customer), finished goods (on tree product). It would be nice to have the possibility…

SocialBoard-Sharing Posts (Images and Videos) and Social Networks Links
SocialBoard, the new space for sharing: * Quick posts. Simple post, or a more elaborate iconography or a video. Maybe to tell a customer story, or to highlight a product feature or simply an action note! * Share a link to a Social Media publication. * Tag your post, so everybody can fid it! * Make connections with people…

Map object enhancement
It would be nice if countries and regions were automatically integrated in the Map object. This way, counties, regions, provinces, etc. could be colored in and you could zoom and move your map around and click on countries to get pop-up info or drill-through to something else. This way, no cockpit would be needed to color…

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…

FYTD in Dynamic Select
The Idea. To allow a FYTD to date option in a dynamic select. Why. Currently a dynamic select allows the user to be able to select the YTD based on a cube or the current date. For financial reporting purposes, I believe a FYTD would be more useful so having this option would be nice. Current process. Using a series of…

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…

Refresh of multiple screen/tabs
In 2 projects that we have developed in Desigual, 2 different group of users have asked us the same wish: To be able to refresh all the open tabs (since they use Board Web) at the same time, either when you perform a Data Entry or when you click a "Refresh" button. They usually work with 2-3 tabs open, using 1 of them for…

In-Line Drill Down (excel style drill in native BOARD)
This is idea is essentially to provide the ability/option to drill down in BOARD the same way that it works in Excel with the office Add-in. When drilling down on a layout in Excel it does it what I call 'in-line', in that it expands/inserts down to show the detail in line. It doesn't have a drill pop-up like in native…

Alerts in GroupBy (WEB)
That would be nice if we could see a one single colour alert on GroupBys instead of some portions of different colours depending on the behaviour of what happens inside the GroupBy. Nowadays, only Circle option works on Web GroupBys. Figures, Blocks or BlocksOnly options don't seem to work for GroupBys on Web. You will…

Custom ETL functions
There are a wealth of etl functions available in the ETL Function Reference, but I would like the ability to write additional custom functions which I can reference in layouts and dataflows. As as an example, I would like to define variations on the lending calculations (PMT, IPMT, FV, NPV) that use our custom business…

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…

Transporting Entity Templates
Version 10.1.4 of the Transporter supports the transportation entity templates, but not formatting changes. New entity templates are transported. The support for entity templates feels incomplete without the ability to transport formatting changes. Se we have to continue manual transportation of template changes by copying…

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…

Turn off 'Alerts' on down totals/group by
Sometimes the 'alert' on a total line doesn't make sense, and sometimes when a Dataview is collapsed and it lists ALL alerts on the 'group by' heading it become unreadable. It would be handy if we could control these to elect not to show alerts on totals and group by headings. There currently is no work around other than…

Save Current Selection upgrade
Hello, i usually find myself in this situation and was hoping this idea might be helpful for everyone * What is your idea? Add a flag "Share" to the "Save Current Selection" action in order to allow this saving to survive at the end of a procedure and to be recycled in other procedures. * What specific problem are you…

IP Address in Logs
Hi, it would be great to have the IP Address from where every board user is connecting to the Board environment in our logs files. the "login.log" file in the dataset\log\users folders currently shows the name of the machine (host) if the user is connecting through the Board Client but only the name of the Board Server if…

Use another block as value for alerts in charts
It would be great if you could setup an alert in a chart based on another block just like you can with dataviews.

Keep dimensional colours in Portfolio Object
Hi Community, I often have been asked this question in A&R-Trainings: Wouldn't it be possible to keep the colour used be the System to distinguish between dimensional values in a Portfolio Object if the selection is limited to one of those values, only? Example from the Training: The sales persons can be distinguished in…
