Slack Integration
Slack has become a popular instant messaging and collaboration tool. The collaboration tools within BOARD are very powerful, but only available while users are logged into the system. I would like to see API hooks made available so a integration could be built. This would allow BOARD screens to be shared and commented upon…

Add SubGroups to Menu type Flat Horizontal and Flat Vertical
Currently, in both Desktop and WEB, the menu object, when using Flat Horizontal or Flat Vertical, does NOT display the SubGroups, if any, that are included in a Capsule's site map. Other menu types do. It would therefore be helpful to include SubGroups in both these types of menu.

A "used by" feature on cube - Impact analysis
In Board, we create lots and lots of cube, some for input, some for technical purpose, some for back office operation. And from time to time, we forget even what purpose it was meant for or if it is still useful! Sometime, we need to change the structure of a cube, add a version, etc.. For all these reasons an impact…

Fix Relationships - Ask are you sure prompt
In future releases of BOARD can we please prompt the user if they click on the Fix Relationships button, if they are sure to run this procedure. I have had a few situations arise where this has been clicked by mistake, or out of curiosity, and then the maximum number of entities issue as occurred.

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…

Beautiful Geomaps
Overview The existing GeoMap tool works well. It does the job of visualizing data on a map, but it's not beautiful. The flexibility and analytics provided in BOARD with respect to time analytics is great. I think it's time to improve the GeoMap tool to keep pace with other offerings. Features * Shape Datatype - Keyhold…

Password reset on login screen
Might be a helpful addition to provide users a password reset option on the login screen if they forget their password. Several of our users have forgotten their passwords and it requires them to wait for an administrator to go in a reset the password for them.

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…

Multi Instance feature for BOARD 10.5.0
One very useful feature of BOARD desktop is the ability to run a multiple instance of the client using the same licence. This allows DEVs to open and compare the same model or work on various models simultaneously. This feature is used extensively and daily by me and my team. I understand that this feature will not be…

Show grand total on top of dataview
Hi Community, more than once I have been asked by clients to display the Grand Total as the first row of a dataview. Since there is the option to change the horizontal alignment of the row totals (see screenshot below), maybe another option could be implemented to choose the location of the Grand Total? At least in larger…

Chart object: allow alerting (colour) based on an another block
1. What is the idea? It is to allow for the Chart object (both in Windows and web Client if possible) the same option as the already available option in a dataview. (Layout > Data > block x > Alert > option "use another block as value") To my mind, there is no such options for charts currently (version 10.1.4) 2. What…

Embedded numeric data in text,using MS Word Add-In

Assume Zero for Loading Blanks to a Numeric Cube
Overview When loading data through an file datareader, I commonly see blanks in a CSV file. If I try to load this field to a numeric cube (Integer, Single, Double), I may see something odd. The datareader will run fine. There will not be any errors thrown. Since these fields are blank, no data is loaded, which is fine.…

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.

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…

1. What is your idea? Simplify a small task that happens sometimes : renaming existing procedures. Currently the procedure's name is always empty when I click on "rename" I wish the existing name of the procedure would be displayed, so I can directly amend it. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to,…

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…

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.

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…
