Massive reporting: export looping through entity items
A common challenge using Board is to export from Board to other media formats (like pdf, xlsx, pptx, ...) especially when the output must be "one file per each item of an entity". Call it a loop through entity items or "massive reporting". When setting print options in the Board screen it's possible to use "paged by…

BOARD Community Navigation frustrations
I am finding it increasingly frustrating when reading through forums. I am used to using forums, scrolling down, selecting an article to read and then returning to the point in the 'stack' that I left by using a browser 'back' button. However, on the BOARD forum, I will scroll through a forum and select an article to read.…

Apply Selection to Block on multiple blocks at once
Instead of having to select Screen-Dataview-Block for each block in a separate "Apply Selection to Block"-action, it would save a lot of time if it was possible to multi-select all needed blocks from all dataviews on the screen.

Enhance the management of the security
When the profile assigned to a group is changed, the revised profile should be propagated to all the members of this group. Several profiles could be assigned to one group of users or to one user. We have to be able to build one or several profiles per capsule. Groups would help to build "Business profiles" by assigning…

Suggested Value Enhancements
It would be very useful to have some enhancements to the suggested value functionality for data entry. It is difficult to enter data quickly with the current functionality as each cell requires a click and select from a list. It would be extremely helpful for users having to do large amounts of data entry on suggested…

Make "Full Screen", Full Screen
I am looking into the idea of using transition containers to replicate PowerPoint presentations, but live in BOARD, allowing the presenter to drill through on screen and and further analyse information live during a presentation. One of the comments that has come up as an objection to this concept is the "eye distraction"…

Export a layout to ASCII file in "append" mode
Hi, A very simple request I have regarding the "export layout to ascii" function in the procedure : currently there's no way to append to a file rather than replacing it.

Web interface - Copy of presentations
Current situation These days we are training a lot of new users to the web interface of Board, and we're trying to make them use the "Presentation" feature.

Why. We have solutions developed for clients and at times they get an error message…

Is there a reason why it…
