Improve Date format in Export to Excel
Dataviews exported to Excel, that contain date cubes, do not behave as 'normal' excel users would expect. The dates are exported as TEXT, not dates. When an excel filter is added to column headings, the date column lists the dates in text order (not chronologically - eg 01/04/2018, 04/01/2018, 08/12/2016 etc) When sorting…

automatic `.all` entities as parent entities
Suppose you want to compare one customer with all the customers. You select one customer per pager and want to have a dataview with the sales of the one customer directly comparing it with all of them. You add two cubes, one with the sales for that customer and another with the sales of all customers. That second cube…

Dynamic ranking functions in dataview layout
At the moment the ranking functions are computed once for the dataview and only recomputed when the screen is refreshed. I'd like to have them dynamic. They should be updated whenever the sorting is changed by the user. So the cumulated values are computed as expected by the user. That would also allow finding out whether…

Search with (updating) downtotals
Currently when searching in a dataview, it is not possible to see at once the sum of rows that are returned by the search. It'd be great if the totals of the dataview could reflect the value of the search restriction.

Enhance the use of BLOB cubes
We're using the BLOB cubes to get attachments from our contributors and to consult them at central level within our organization. For a given reporting type, a single contributor can attach up to 50 external files. Currently, as soon as a contributor attached an external file, the file's name is lost for ever when stored…

Overlaying mask
Currently, a mask is applied underneath the screen so any object in the screen is rendered on top of the mask. Moreover, it doesn't allow to use layouts. It would be useful if to have layouts in masks and to have a new mask class that overlays the screen. In my current project, we are managing the user access to certain…

Synchronizing time axis between databases in a multi-database screen
Context Very often we have use cases where we need to compare data between two databases. We build two layouts (necessary because different data models) and we put them side by side. Having common selectors is of course not possible in the general case (that's the point of making two DB) but it would be very practical to…

Datamodel Tags
Hi, at the moment, when developing a BOARD datamodel, we do not have an easy way of finding sub-sets of cubes/entities/etc.. used for a specific business process inside a database or with specific features, for example: * all cubes used in data-entry for budgeting purposes * all cubes containing actual data loaded directly…

Pivoting Dataviews
THE IDEA I would like to suggest that the dataview object retains all the native functionality available in horizontal alignment when using the vertical alignment (pivoted Dataview). EXPLANATION Currently, the dataview object is highly versatile in formatting and application when aligned horizontally. One can drill,…

Web Client: Copy Slide in Presentation Mode
Context This is a request directly coming from a customer and would STRONGLY enhance the usability of the Presentation Mode which would close the loop. Issue - The user has a reporting page where he/she starts from a blank screen with an empty dataview and user adds columns in the report builder - The user saves the…

Select multiple members by text string
Hi All, currently, if you want to select a greater number of entity members on a screen (for example a list of 50 specific articles), you have to click on a selector, search for one, select it, search for the next one, select… and so on. In a few projects now, users have asked if they could enter the desired members as a…

reverse dynamic selection
I noticed that while in the select of an entity you can choose whether to make a selection or an exclusion, using the dynamic selection on a cube, you can not exclude what is in that cube directly from the select. It would seem more convenient to have this option in the select, aware that the problem can be easily solved…

treemap chart > modify the colour behaviour of tiles when alerts are used
1. What is your idea? currently, colouring treemap tiles (when a block alert is set) uses a shading function around the threshold value, e.g. for threshold alert = 4 and colour red, the tiles for values 3 and 5 will get a lighter red, whereas 4 has a full red colour. I have use cases where this behaviour is not the…

Selector & Pager based on a layout
The Idea : Add a new variant of the Selector object were the member - and there default status - are displayed based on the result of a layout. The layout values of these new objects should have add properties to the members : * visible : member is available in the list/screen selection * default : member is active in the…

user session & user stored cubes to help with user experience
The idea is to have cube where the user is dimension managed automatically by Board and invisible to the user himself as it set on himself (@user) for everyone. The purpose is to improve user experience by remembering his choice and his preference. I can see at least to useful variation : * User session are cleared when…

Acclaim Badges for e-Learning Certifications
While I'm a big fan of the quests and learning resources as part of the community site, I think there is an opportunity to promote BOARD and recognize accomplishments beyond just the community site. Acclaim is one of a few sites offering badges for recognition for accomplishments. Companies like Microsoft, Oracle and IBM…

INTEGRATED & ADAPTATIVE MANUAL
Hello some ideas about manual: * the Board manual should be improved and integrated in the board interface. * An a classic icon like (?) should appear somewhere in the top of the page and in the slide menu of objects * Different contents depending on license type. E.g. A developer will see the all the contents, a lite user…

OPEN A SCREEN WITHOUT LAYOUTS REFRESH
Dear community Inhibit initial layout execution refresh is now possible only in some cases. 1) through a procedure with an action "go to screen" + option "disable initial layout execution" or through an "On open trigger" procedure. 2) Using an ATO pager 3) while developing a layout, using the option "Apply" instead of "OK"…

Monte Carlo Simulation
I have had a few discussions of late and it seems I am not alone having discussed it with some coleagues, around if it is possible to do Monte Carlo simulations, there are mixed views some feeling something close could be achieved using nexel but in general it is felt that it would be difficult, so wondering if it is…

QUICK RELATIONSHIPS SCAN REPORT
Checking relationships and identify missing items (from Bottom Up scan) or floating items (from Top Down scan) may result in a quite long activity, especially for big databases. And should always be performed by developers. It would be nice have a procedure action "check relationships" that perform the scan and generate a…

Substitution formula in the data reader protocol definition
It could be useful for developers to have substitution formulas recognized on the path of a data reader. This could help particularly in two situations: 1) If we copy a database on the same machine and rename it, there is no need of changing manually all data readers paths 2) When we want to load all files within the same…

Github Diff Viewer
Most BOARD installations use proprietary datasets that should not be shared for a variety of reasons. There also exist numerous, public, free, useful datasets that could facilitate more detailed analysis. Now that we have a community site to connect, the next step is to engage. Github is a popular tool used for storing…

Map Repository
I have seen a similar idea "Map object enhancement". However that idea requires development effort. My idea would be to create a repository of colored maps, where the world, countries and regions or provinces could be found in perfect working order and ready to be used in board. This repository could be stored either on…

Highlight the row of the focused cell for data entry simplification
Hi, when you have a large report where few columns have data entry option and you move through the cells with arrow keys, sometimes is difficult to see on which entity you are writing a value. It would be nice to have an option that highlight the entire row (or only the row heading) of the focused cell.

Understand numbers with special characters
Overview When loading data through ASCII data readers, I have run into challenges with special characters in numeric fields not loading. Dollar signs and commas are the most frequent. BOARD does not understand that $12,345.67 is a number. I have to add string manipulation steps in ETL to parse out the dollar sign and…

Blur Other Objects
After reviewing some of the e-learning materials, I noticed how the videos blur the background while text is the focus of the video. From a visual perspective, it draws the eye exactly to the text, removing distractions from view. We already have a property to hide objects, but I would like to be able to focus attention…

Select library
Many times happens that the same Select, involving more indipendent entities, have to te applied to many screens or procedure actions. E.g. in sales area most reports have selection on a region (tree site), extracompany customers (on tree customer), finished goods (on tree product). It would be nice to have the possibility…
