'Exit Screen' Procedure step to close tabs in web client
I am proposing a web client behaviour for the existing 'Exit Screen' procedure step. Currently this procedure step has no action in the Web Client, however within the Windows Client, upon execution of this step, the current open screen is closed fully, rather than navigated away from. It would be ideal if this step had the…

Entity: possibility to manage several descriptions by member
It would be very useful to be able to allocate to an entity member a second or third description (e.g. short desc / long desc. / extra-long desc), and then be able to select one of these in screen objects (dataviews, labels...).

Entity order / user view
In the database settings you can define the user view / order of entities. However this only affects the entity pane in the layout configuration! The entity order should also affect the entity order in Pager/Selector menu as well as Drill Down and screen/layout selection window.

Entity format with multiple entities within a dataview
There are situations when the customer asks for entity format to be applied when there are multiple entities by rows (for example parents of an entity or groupings of different ones). As we all know, the entity formatting works only when we have a single entity by row, and the moment another entity is added there is a…

Entity - Max Item Number to select
Dear, When building our capsules and screen we have found that we have to limit the amount of entity members that are selected by the users to ensure that the Data View are properly displayed. If too many entity members are selected the Data View can go into "Oops" (and in Board 12.1 it can lock the Running Tasks screen in…

Enterprise Ready - Active Directory Check vor AD-Users from AD Groups
Hi guys, in big organisations I often have the issue, that the whole user Management is done via Active Directory. It's great how to easily add users to BOARD via a Windows AD Group. But as time goes on, People Switch the Departments, and also move on in the AD-Groups. I know it might be an issue to "just" delete the…

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…

End user Error Message Visibility for Administrator
The Idea. To give Admin visibility of the individual error messages that can appear on the end-users screen (bottom right corner in client), this could be via a simple log file recording the time of message, the message, and the end user. Why. We have solutions developed for clients and at times they get an error message…

Ease capsule renaming
Dear team, We would like to rename our capsules but it seems that it is almost impossible without loosing what we have already built in BOARD as we have feeds, presentations, go to screen, screen procedures in place. It would be great if we could link the capsule to anything without putting the name of the capulse but…

define position of horizontal scrollbars
It would be great if there is an option defining the place of horizontal scrollbars at data views --> on top or at the bottom. Currently it's always on the bottom - but combined with a vertical scrollbar in the browser it's not easy to reach or at least good visible for users. Therefore it would be great if the scrollbar…

When a new ascii data reader is being created, the dafult path is always C:\Board\... even if the default server path is e.g. D: \Board...It would be nice if the sugegsted path in data…

Default option resize
Currently the screen resize option when opening a new screen is "fit width" as default. This however is not really valid for all models / capsules / devices. If you use any of the other options and navigate, you have to constantly change the screen resize option afterwords. It would be great if one of these options could…

Data entry by copy&paste in html Client
Within desktop client it´s possible to enter data by "copy & paste" i.e. from excel. In html client this is currently only working for maximum 50 rows and 100 lines. I think copy & paste is used by many users so elimination of this restriction would be helpful. Additional information from BOARD support: restriction is…

Customise text on 'action' block in dataview
I don't believe this is currently possible (but correct me if I'm wrong) so I will raise it as an idea. When a procedure is added as an action on a block in a dataview layout it defaults to displaying the name of the procedure when the user hovers/clicks on it (as below) with the word 'Run' at the beginning. Often the name…

CHAT & SHARE User Groups
Please could I ask the community to consider this idea and vote accordingly?

Board API Query Output JSON format
Ask is to update the json output format of the REST API queries so as to get column header and data in a single block, as opposed to headers in the columns block and data in a separate data block. This will make it easier for Customer's application to consume the query output. Attached images of current vs expected query…
