As a developer I do this many many times a day, namely making the columns of entities, cubes and data readers bigger to see the whole name whereas there other columns that are shown which are almost never used but nevertheless using screen space.

CHAT & SHARE User Groups
Please could I ask the community to consider this idea and vote accordingly? I would like to suggest that BOARD implement the ability to create CHAT and SHARE user groups and for the developer to have the ability to restrict what users, or groups, each user can see.

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…

Apply selection to block works for dataviews withing containers
Currently board throws an error when we try to do this, but if we could give the container a physical name could we built this functionality whereby we could apply a selection to block in a dataview that in turn is placed inside a container on a screen? Thanks

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.

Actually its only possible to create 1 description of an entity. And the same name will be displayed for the user for example in the selector (there are a few other examples like this) In this case we have to use a workaround and "hide" the name of the selector with a label Most of the entities an especially hierarchies…

Admin Page Password Reset Should Unlock User Account
We are cloud users for board and the admin page has really come a long way to synchronize capsules, stop and start services, etc. However, the login password expires way too quickly. I would recommend changing that requirement. I have used the admin page for a little over a year and have had around 20 admin passwords…

Add Folder properties / Formatting
It would be very useful to have an option to change the properties of the folders (same way as we can with capsules). The option to change the background and give an icon, creates a better welcome for our users. In the way we designed the folder/capsule structure they only see a lot of white folder blocks.

Set time-out for "user-procedures" (selections, layout etc.)
It would be really good for a system stability if there would be a possibility to set a time-out for layout-executions/selection-procedures caused by (normal) users. It happens that users are doing "queries" which cannot be executed and they are leaving the screen e.g. because they see that it's not working - but the tasks…
