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…

hiding parts of chart legend
We are having "technical" cubes/formulars in charts for design aspects, which are not solvable via available settings --> e.g. fixed zero-line and max in a chart showing net sales per month for py, act and bud. And these two parts are listed in the legend which is a bit irritating for the user --> therefore it would be…
-
Pivoting/Grouping columns
It would be great, if a kind of pivoting columns would be available in data views. E.g. a dataview has year and month as dimensions in the columns and the grouping/pivoting allows the user to expand or collaps the columns --> e.g. expanding it from year to months
-
Collapse unbalanced Hierarchy
As of current the user will see everything on the screen in one big table. It would be good to be able to collapse each grouping down so you can view the table at a higher level click a drop down which would then show all the members underneath that parent. Similarly to how the regular hierarchies function.
-
Unbalanced Hierarchy Sorting
In board 12, the current unbalanced hierarchy function is great, however there is no option to have the parents/members sorted by your own criteria. Currently all the totals sit at the top of the tables. To be able to have the totals sit at the bottom of the piece of data would be ideal, as well as being able to change…

Block Reference - Dynamic Selection on
It would be great if dynamic selections would be available at block references (for used cubes in data views/charts) --> this would probably make currently necessary count/selection-cubes irrelevant and enable more flexibility - especially regarding time selections or time related columns.

Make Reverse Rules have full functionality
Hi, currently Reverse Rules have the following limitations: 1) Does not work if there are multiple row entities (the normal rule still works, if the level 1 entity is not a parent hierarchie of the rule entity -> reverse rule doesn't work) 2) Only works, if "Show all" is enabled on rows 3) Reverse rule doesn‘t work if rule…

Export to XLSX - Overcome limitations of layout export with huge datasets
Idea: We use the export functionality of Board intensively. For the layout export (procedure layout export or export to excel) it is annoying that we have to decide for the row entities whether we just want to see the code OR the description OR both concatenated when the default settings doesn’t match to our needs for the…

Contact all online users - pop up
Current situation: In Board Windows version there was a useful option to support administration: Send message to online user This function was useful to inform all online users, through a popup windows, of any important action done in the server. (i.e: informing maintenance). In Board Web this is replaced with the chat…

Improved configuration of Gantt-diagram
There are some restrictions in the configuration and therefore in the use of Gantt-diagrams at the moment. Especially it is not possible to define the columns at the left. You can not hide them and you can not configure the width. If they do not contain the content your users want to see by chance, then you can't use the…

Event-driven Subscribe and SendTo functions
Hi all, We are currently analyzing the usefulness of the Subscribe and SendTo functionalities for our users, but the same question comes back every time regarding scheduling. Indeed our data is published monthly (e.g. Sales at D+2, OPEX at D+8, Allocation results at D+10) but in practice it is not a fixed day in the month.…

Chart to Chart Drill-Down in pop-up window
It would be great having Chart to Chart drill-downs in a pop-up window like having it in dataviews --> the drilldown from chart-bars (stack) currently opens a table in a pop-up --> but we would need again a chart showing within the relationship tree a more detailed entity to the initially shown dimension. Currently this is…

hidden columns per default
this requirement is connected with the functionality of rows&columns in dataviews --> it would be really gread being able, hiding per default specific columns (cubes) - which can be shown via rows&columns from the user himself..
-
Broadcasting variable parts
We are facing the requirement, that users, which are receiving mails + attachment (xlsx) from BOARD-Broadcaster, would need dynamic parts in the mail-header, file-name of attachment and parts of the mail-text. e.g. @date, @month would be really helpful
-
XLSX-export --> selection export with one dimension
It would be great if the option "export selections" when exporting a dataview to Excel, would be already available when having one dimension in the dataview --> currently it's only possible when two dimensions are used in the dataview
-
Userprofiles - default selections
it would be very useful having a possibility setting default selections for users --> here are some examples: 1) we do have our KPIs in Local & Group Currency - and our subsidiaries would prefer getting per default local currency values - without a need of selecting each time. 2) Additionally controlling visibility of…

dynamic hide & show screen parts/panes
It would be nice having a possibility creating dynamic parts in the screen - which are e.g. hidden, but can be shown with mouse over or similiar. A concrete idea would be having a selection pane which can be hidden/shown dynamically and with a default setting possibility. The screens would appear more clean and the focus…

CHARTS - Functions DATA and ROWS & COLUMNS
It would be very helpful/useful having the data and rows & columns functionality also for charts - not only for dataviews. These would enable much more flexibility for the user.

Allow Temporary Cubes to be used in If Then Else action
Quite often specific cubes are created to hold the results of a logical test that can be performed through dataflow. This cube would then be used in an If The Else procedure action to determine the actions to run based on the outcome of the test. Currently, the If Then Else action cannot use temporary cubes saved in the…

Integrate authorizations / DB Profiles in Impact analysis
Hi, the "Impact analysis" is a really useful tool. However one item is missing from the analysis regarding the authorizations, it's the database profile. For example, if I need for technical reasons to clear an entity, I would need to double check if that entity is used as a select in a database profile. Integrating this…

Screen Changes Log
I would have a log to track, by each screen, creation date and further changes, specifying the user that did the change. This could be useful for audit purposes.

DrillThrough via REST API
1. What is your idea? DrillThrough via a REST API Connection. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? Our customer wants to use the new REST API for data integration, instead of an additional MS SQL Layer, but still be able to perform a Drill Through.…

Customise session timeout value
1) What is your idea? To be able to set the session timeout to be 20 minutes. 2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve? We are trying to reduce the security risk for a system built using Board. Long (60 minutes) timeouts leave sessions vulnerable to reuse by people other than the user. 3) What workaround have you…

The option to hide and show containers in realtime
Hi, It would be nice to have the option to show and hide containers without a screen refresh. This way you can add for example your selectors in a container and with a small button on your screen you can show or hide the container. This would give you more screen space because your navigation and filters can be hidden. See…

Better integration between Board web-client and Office Add-in
The current office add-in offers a good integration between Board and Microsoft office products, however the current add-in his design to work better with the windows version than the wed version of Board. It can be improved with the following: 1.Allowing copy/paste of Dataview layout(design) from the Web client to the…

Board Chat Management
On the Board web client we have encouraged our users to communicate more through the chat. We have found that with proper user metadata set, and group chat, it can be used as a powerful communication tool. However it has limitation that reduce it's potential and should be addressed in future evolutions. 1. Better chat…

Interactive selection - Option to display Code/Description or both
Hi, Currently, the "interactive selection" procedure step displays code and description on the pop-up window. It would be nice to have the option to choose (at procedure level) to display either Code, Description or both (similarly to how the Selectors work).

Web Client - Add Copy formating Settings
Like in windows client, it would be helpful a "Copy formatting Settings" option for all the elements you can create in a screen. At this moment, the way to reproduce this functionality is to "copy-paste" a formatted current element and edit it.

Refresh partially instead of full screen
When we have a lot of data views/charts/etc. on a screen, refreshing the full screen from the procedure (Refresh Screen) can take some time. And in some cases full screen refresh is not necessary. There are certain scenarios when the procedure is executed, it's only impacting certain sections e.g. data views/charts. I…
