Horizontal selector should not waste space
Horizontal selectors should not waste space by adding so much free space left and right to the element name. Brings up scroll bars where none is needed.

Flat data table for enduser
There should be a possibility for endusers to adjust a data table to a flat data table by theirselves. Due to the quick layout (and the possibility to drag several entities in the rows) it might be useful to adjust a "normal" table to a flat data table in play mode for a better overview.

GeoMap improvements
compared to geo maps in other bi tools (Qlik, Tableau etc.) - the BOARD object is way to clumsy and underperforming. More design options like have a kind of head map per country/region instead of bubbles. Also more available maps (not only google maps and one other) would be great.

Write-API for Data-Models to enable Infrastructure as Code
Currently, all elements are manually updated via the UI. However, we would rather like to have a possibility to create entities, kubes, relationships etc. with an API. This would enable us also to provision our data models using infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform). As e.g. Terraform can also be used to provision…

Description field for Cubes and Entities
In the datamodel, there should be a field "description" for each cube and entity. This would help documenting the purpose of each cube and entity. This would help the maintenance and the transfer of knowledge. for any developer, the good practice is to write comments in the code. This should be the same for Board:…

Cube preview
To help the administration of the data model, it would be extremely useful to be able to "open" a cube and to have a "preview" of the cube What i mean is that administrators should be able to open a cube: a table would be displayed on the screen that shows data included in the cube with all dimensions I have seen this…

Waterfall chart - hide variances that equal 0
Hello everyone, I have that issue in Board to be able to compare 2 datasets with a waterfall chart: if I want to have only the non null variances appearing and try to filter on those, it also changes the totals for by beginning block and ending block. For example in the waterfall chart below, I put a filter on all non null…

MS Word Add-In Lacks the Formatting Functionality Present in Board Web
During the development of a report using the Microsoft Word Add-In, it has come to our attention that some of the formatting functionality that is present in Board web is not offered by the add-in. Border thickness cannot be configured in the add-in, but it can be in Board web. Unfortunately, any native MS word formatting…

Warning Message in the Board Application when Max Item number has reached
Hi Team, could we have some sort of a warning message or a notification (in the Board application UI) when any of the entities are at 100% or have crossed the 100% saturation. There have been instances in projects when the entities have crossed beyond 100% like at 120% and the implementation team or the users are unaware…

Defining Temporary cubes "on the fly"
When I write a procedure, I find it tedious to define a temporary cube when I want to implement/change a data flow. In particular I dislike that I have to leave the procedure, define the temporary cube and open the procedure again. Please implement the following feature: In the window where one can define a new data flow…

Queque for parallel Rest API Calls
Here is an additional feature I like to suggest: Consider a procedure P that uses Rest API Calls to start 10 procedures in parallel. I wish there was a comfortable way of telling Procedure P that the 10 procedures called via Rest API are finished such that P waits automatically until all 10 procedures are finished and…

Add information note in Data source connection creation
In System Admin portal, a connection should be created to link the Data Pipeline and Board. It turns out that for the alias of the connection, a maximum of 32 digits is allowed. It would be helpful if it would either not let you save the connection if the alias is too long, or at least show an information about this below.…

Button: add rollover color for Font
Hi, simple as that: as you could change the rollover color for the background of a button already, it would be great to also add rollover colors for the text / font. This would help avoid using several layers for the same effect. Thanks! Mads

Delete inaccessible data model command for Board Cloud Administrator
When a data model becomes inaccessible (e.g., due to data corruption), the data model "Delete" command on the GUI is greyed out. This prevents the creation of a new data model with the same name, when there are no usable backups that can be restored. Currently, the only option for Board Cloud users is to create a Support…

Mandatory dimensions / consistency checks in quick layout
Context - When designing data entry screens, we are often in the situation where we want to give a maximum flexibility to the end user to choose the most relevant axis. Quick layout is great for that. Issue - However we often have the situation where at least one dimension is mandatory, otherwise figures don't make sense.…

metadata-driven modeling with BAML (Board Application Markup Language)
This feature is inspired by BIML (Business Intelligence Markup Language). To develop a board-application you don’t need coding skills. That is really great for beginners! To develop a board-application is mostly to create or alter meta-data. For example create a new entity. Give them a name, group, id length, desc length…

Drill-down feature on a chart
The idea is to enhance interaction with charts, enabling navigation of the entity tree. As a front end user, I would like to be able to expand (and also aggregate) on the default dimension set in the graph. In order to give an idea of the use cases, I am thinking at this kind of competitor's feature: power BI drill down on…

Annotation of Entities, Cubes, Data Reader and other Database structures
I wish there was a way to annotate entities, cubes, data readers, and other database structures as there is for procedure steps. This would enrich the in-system documentation for developers and could eliminate the need for out-of-system technical documentation. Documentation would thus be made faster and more efficient.

Notify if max item number reached
In desktop client, there used to be a pop-up message appearing in case a max item number was reached and that the Administrator was to be contacted. It would be great if some kind of notification would show up also in web (without the need to access the proper Relationships page), because if noone accesses the…

REST API - Execute Procedure with Selection
Selections are an elementary concept for controlling procedures in Board. When starting a procedure from a screen, a start selection is usually passed with it. We need this possibility also, if we start a procedure over the rest Api. The selection could be passed in the body as JSON. Currently only the database name and…

Possibility to define datetime function formatting
ISSUE: Datetime is always restricted to the cultural settings of the user (or in some cases the computer) that uses it. This could cause issues when, for example, an export of a cube that has a timestamp in it (that was created using datetime) is expected to arrive in certain formatting, but a user with a different culture…

change table/dataview from pivot to flat list
We are regularly getting the question from users if it's possible to change the standard BOARD pivoted table to a flat list. I know this functionality also from other BI-Tools and it would be great if the user can decide via dataview-menu if he wants to have a flat list shown. Default can be still the pivoted view, but the…

Change Click-on-Selector behaviour in Development Mode
Currently when designing a screen and clicking on a selector object in order to move, alter or align it, the selection window is opened and has to be closed manually. During development it is more common to configure or move Selector Objects than actually setting up a selection using the Selector. Therefore it would be…

more Comment-formatting/placement options
We are having several management reports (basically P&L structure) which need to get commented by all subsidiaries. This commenting needs to be done in an extra table below the main data view (columns not possible due to a lot of columns and scrolling to the right is not an option). This makes it a bit difficult to find…

Search and/or sort among Mask screen
When working with the screen selection for Masks it's very hard to find the correct screen when you have a long list of screens. Ideas: - Make the list searchable and/or sorted in alphabetical order. - Make it easier to remove/add screens from/to a Mask. Now you have to do it in two steps - first remove and then add. Have…

Dynamic Decimals on report views
Hi team! We've recently had two customers and a partner reach out about the request to dynamically show or not show decimal places. Right now, it currently requires work arounds that involve layout adjustments or duplicated screens. We would like to request the ability to adjust the decimals we are viewing on a report…

"Run as administrator" option for "Advanced broadcast rule"
From my point of you it would make sense if there would also be a "Run as administrator" option for the broadcast function "Advanced broadcast rule" so that the developer can explicitly run the broadcast function without (previously removed) security selections. Right now there is no such option so the broadcast function/…

Connection alias on Cloud Administration portal
When you create the connection alias on the admin portal, you must have an existing connection configured on the Datapipeline portal. So when you map the alias to the existing connection, one should not need to type the connection name, it would be better to have a drop-down list only showing the available connections so…

RGB color in Dynawrite
Finding the customer's color in Dynawrite is difficult since the RGB color scheme is not used. RGB is used basically everywhere else in Board. Idea: Add option or change the color selection in a Dynawrite to RGB. This is how the color selection looks like in most other places in Board.
