Step call procedure: deactivate checkboxes to copy current selections (back) by default
Minor idea: when creating a new procedure step "call procedure" the two checkboxes to copy current select / copy back current select are active by default. I have often seen both checkboxes activated in applications and quite often it turned out they have no purpose - the developer simply did not think whether it´s…

Interactive Select Option
SCENARIO: We have a procedure to navigate from the home screen to a planning screen. Before the "go to screen" step, there are several selections that are required to ensure the screen opens with the desired information / planning detail level. Some of the selections are made using a simple interactive select, others are…

"Refresh-Layout - Button" for Presentations
We switched by end of last week to the 12.5. Version, which brought the number scaling functionality. As a workaround we used in the last 2 years a TEC_Divisior-Entity which enabled us already to have a kind of number scaling feature —> BUT: every DataView contained a lot of blocks just for making this possible. With the…

Data Model object comments
For Data Model objects it would be informative to have to possibility to add comments and notes. For example a Procedure, under “Options” or a new tab, give the developer the possibility to write comments i.e. the purpose of the procedure, when it was last updated, who created/updated it. It could either be one big…

Restrict "Apply data selection" on "Go to screen..."
When navigating from a screen to another screen by using the action type “Go to screen…” on a label or a button, you can either check “Apply data selection” or not. However sometimes it is useful, if only a part of the data selection could be applied to the new screen. As a result it should be possible to mark per entity,…

Remove API Query limit for request made locally
Idea : Don't take query made locally - from Board server to itself - into account for the daily 500 query limit.

AutoSum Selected Range
Request for a possibility to AutoSum Selected (highlighted) range, similar to AutoSum in Excel. Example below. Condition - works on numerical cells only. We have observed that Board Users often export views to excel to run sum on a range of cells that intersect across multiple rows and columns. This becomes particularly…

Improving security management through easier maintenance of profiles
Hi everyone, As I already discussed with some of our Board France friends (Andrea Masiero especially), I found that Board is missing some key features in terms of security management. Some of them have workarounds through the so-called "Tilde Database" system, but this is not usable for all customers and it was not usable…

Resize Columns in ETL Tab of Data Readers
Maybe we are unique in having a field that is very long, but having the ability to manually change the width of columns in the ETL would be fantastic. We have different combinations of materials that can go into our goods, all depending on what has been ordered. In order to make this happen and price things appropriately,…

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…

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…

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

Adding Metadata to Cubes
It would be great if we could add meta data to the cube Name: Same as today Descr: A description, for example "Actuals", "FTE"….. The description is currently not always same as cube name and I then have to change in all data views - if instead we could pick up the description we would be sure to use the same description…

Tooltip by Column Header
It has been requested several times (as in for example our most latest POC by BASF) to have the possibility to have a tooltip in the header of a block or column. This is a common practice in people that use excel since it helps understand what is within that column. Currently this can be done via a label with a tooltip…

Enable capsule security the same way we now have Folder security
Problem When users enter the Board main page, they would like to see all the capsules that they have access to in one place. These capsule cards can be customized nicely to show some preliminary information using sparkline/footer, they can be color coded, have backgrounds and icons. However, now, if we want to make sure…
-
copy procedure from one capsule to another
would be great if one could copy or save a procedure from one capsule to another where also temporary cubes are copied. That would massively simplify the copying or even moving of a procedure instead of recreating the procedure by copying the steps and re-creating the temporary cubes.

Multiple attributes per entity member, in addition to code and description
It would be helpful if, in addition to the code and description, other attributes could be used for each entity member to increase flexibility in displaying the labels in reports.

Log files for 'Reload all cubes'
Hi, when cleaning up Entities and removing deprecated members, it would be really useful if you could activate logging of rejected records in the procedure step reload all cubes. Without this feature you need to manually create data readers and manually check tons of files to find out why the records got rejected Kind…

Support Icons in menu for the web client
Hi all, to my surprise, the icons included in the capsule menu, that could be managed in the Windows client, cannot be managed any more in the web client. I opened a support question about it and Andrea Mo suggested to post it as an idea... so here it is ! Please include the option to manage menu icons in the web, same as…

Database Security Profile - Improved UX and setup
Hello everyone, In the screen in the snapshot below, it would be helpful to add the following functionality :* Add option to sort cube list by physical name and/or groups * Create a DB new profile by copying an existing one to skip redoing all the cubes if only a few are different * Add a column in the cube list to flag…

Presentations Governance
Organizations with hundreds of users need to have greater governance over presentations. It might be helpful to know which ones were created. Know which and how many presentations will be sent at a given time and to whom. The monitoring of the presentations would be useful to better understand the impact that presentations…

Option of restricting elements for selectors
Up to now, for a selector, there was only the possibility to display all elements or only the active elements. However, I had the requirement in many projects that the selectable elements should be restricted depending on other filtering. Reasons could be for example: Elements of entities are no longer valid, but should…

Number Scaling - formatting options
The new function is pretty good - but it would be really good, if there would be some formatting options for the number scaling —> e.g. k instead of K or T instead of K etc. Also deactivating the suffix would be great - so just having the value without K/M/B

Extract Cubes in Parquet-File
1. What is your idea? Board has multiple steps to extract data from cubes: Extract Cube Export Data View to file Export Dataset Extract all cubes All these steps save data as text or csv-files. We could save disk-space and increase performance by using parquet-files. Head-to-head comparison CSV Parquet Row-based storage…

Hide Screen List configurable depending on users
hide screen list options is a ON/OFF option it could be useful have the capability to deactivate it for some users (e.g. administrators or process owners for an application). It could be made on different levels: as default, in security profile settings (e.g for administrators) at capsule level, defining exceptions on some…

Deleting entity elements made easy
There is already a guide on "How to remove obsolete entity members". However, this process should be much easier. It would be great if entity members can be deleted easily by hand. Especially, in big databases that would be a huge relief because it wouldn't be necessary to reload the entity and cubes. As a bonus, it would…

"Min" and "Max" as aggregation-functions
It would be very helpful to be able to select "Min" and "Max" as aggregation-functions on an entity, in addition to the existing "distinct count", "average" and "sum" (see second screenshot). Right now it is possible to display the min- and max-values as a row total (see lower dataview in the first screenshot), but not if…

Ability to set the color of background of the value on a card
Currently the background color can be set for all elements except for the background where the value is shown. This does not allow for the card to be to fully formatted to the company branding, as shown with the white box around the number. My client would like to set this to transparent. While this can be achieved with a…
