Handling of .cfg Files in Text File Data Reader
In Board 12 & 14, the Text File Data Reader has a limitation in how it handles .cfg files when a pattern filter is used in the "Connection" tab. This impacts the automatic mapping of fields and the correct configuration of the file settings, such as delimiters, headers, and other parameters stored in the .cfg file. Issue…

Enhancing User experience with the Bubble Chart object
Hi all, apart from my idea of keeping the dimensional colours in the bubble chart object I would like to make a few suggestions on enhancing user experience with the bubble chart. 1. Give the developer the possibility to change not only the chart's background as a whole, but make it possible to change the colour/label for…

Enable data entry at a higher level when cube has 0 value
Hi, as the split and splat functionality goes, unless the cube 1 has some values, if we want to enable data entry at a higher level of aggregation than the cube 1 dimension itself, the data entry only becomes enabled if the cube as a value. To resolve it, we flow a very small constant number (by opening up the calculation…

Allow the use of Temporary Cubes on Smart Import objects
The idea is simple: Allow the use of Temporary Cubes on Smart Import objects as we do for Data Readers. It should be possible to type the Temporary Cube name and load data into it. The Temporary Cube should be configured in the Trigger Procedure launched after a Data entry action. Today, for the Smart Import object, we…

Display value in procedure step "show message"
Hello, it would be helpful if we could display a value in the “show message”-procedure step as part of the message and ideally also change it. Example: Planned values from the previous year are to be transferred to the current year, taking into account an increase factor. As part of the procedure, the user would be…

Hierarchy of entities in the select tab
Hi all, I highly suggest to change the views of the select (by screen). Now it is by design so users can’t see the hierarchy of entities like in relationships section. It would be great to open the select in the screen and see the real hierarchy and not seeing entity by design. Thanks! Valentina

Split&Splat functionality extension to even/repeated distribution
Hi, I wish to have the split&splat functionality broadened, so it is not only able to split values according to the existing proportions, but have the ability to repeat the value, or to spread it evenly onto all leaf elements that are open for data entry. It would be excellent if developers could set what kind of…

Show certain layout blocks as single column, even with entities by column
Sometimes you'd want a certain block displayed as a single column an others displayed per element in the entities by column. This could for example be a budget for the year and than the actuals by month. The way we have always achieved this is kind of an awkward work-around. For the block that should be a single column we…

Integrate FlexGrid execution data in Logs
Hi all, currently we have no way to monitor performance of the layouts executed in a flexgrid object, which is key to understand performance issues and the use of the new object by end users. Idea : add a new log to track the following info on flexgrid layouts executions : dimensions used in rows number and nature of…

Auto-updated "control" cubes and entities giving us what cubes, entities etc we have
At the moment, we only have one set of entities that come pre-built into the system, and that is the time hierarchy. Days, months, years etc. I propose adding more, control entities, and even cubes to this list. What I think would be beneficial would be: entity whose members are a list of all the entities entity whose…

B14 - Rework Date Filter in Logs
The filter option in the logs is frustrating to work with in its current state. The standard option is not "contains", infact contains does not exist at all. The field requires the date and time as an input, it's not possible to filter for example by year unless you choose one of the other options other than equal

B14 - bring back the enable button for data blocks options in the layout editor
These buttons exist in B12 but were removed in B14. They significantly reduce the amount of clicks needed to remove set options from a block. In the case of the detail by it is difficult to even find the reset option at all.

Expand datareader edit window in Board 14
The edit window for datareader in Board 14 is way too narrow. Currently it is nearly impossible to fully identify cubes, SQL table names or column names on a regular screen. The edit window for datareader should be just as wide as the pop up which opens when creating a new datareader:

Board Tree Public API
In addition to the existing APIs, it would be useful to have a public schema for retrieving a specific hierarchy via API, similar to the one available for entities. Currently, if we want to extract a tree from the Board, we must create a custom API query that includes all the necessary fields from the layout section, which…

Filename substitution formula in Data Readers
Hello everyone, It could be useful for developers to have the following functionality implemented in Board: A new substitution formula @filename that returns the name of the file being loaded in the Data Reader. This formula could then be used in the ETL. Usage example: The client's cubes have the dimension "Month of…

Board 14: Please bring back the possibility to change the screen fit mode in design mode
With Board 14 the possibilty is vanished to adjust the applied fit mode in design mode. You can only change the screen fitting when you are in play mode. In our opinion working in an actual size mode is not always the most efficient way, especially when arranging screen elements or when the enviroment background with an…

B14: Enhance Debugger options
Hi Team, I was used to work with layouts in the debugger the same way as in a DataView Layout on the screen - adjusting column widths, exporting to XLS, searching for cubes to add as block into the layout… This is the behaviour in B12 whereas B14 behaves pretty differently in those cases: You can't export, you can't edit…

Improvement in Font Configuration in the section MODELS in case of Unbalanced Hierarchy
Hi everybody, I would like to share with you this strange situation that happened to me. I set my first unbalanced hierarchy and i'm trying to create a good report for the client. The report that i did before was with a normal hierarchy about income statement. I would like that also the unbalanced hierarchy could be bold…

Impact Analysis scope to include Capsule procedures
At the moment, impact analysis only reports on the objects and their dependencies that are present in the data model. This excludes the capsule-level procedures. For example, If we search for a procedure and identify which other procedures make a call to it, it only lists the procedures at the data model level while there…

Calculate data flows on GPU (ILGPU)
With machine learning, for example Tensorflow, it is possible to perform calculations on a CPU or GPU. Powerful GPUs are often used for this in order to achieve a significant performance gain. Idea: Calculating data flows in Board using a GPU. I could imagine that this is possible using ILGPU. ILGPU is a new JIT…

Paste a selection from e.g. excel
Hi, a possibility where I can select e.g. several customers by simply posting a list of customer numbers from an excel into the selector would be amazing. Checking a number of, lets say, 100 customers currently forces you to search and select them one by one (for an enduser). Therefore a copy paste solution from an…

Raise the limit of Custom Time Entities on Time Range
Main Idea: Today, the number of Custom Time Entities is limited to 4. My idea would be to raise this limit number to at least 10. It would be great to have no limit, if possible. The last project I worked on lasted 40 days. If I had a free custom time entity, I could have saved around 3 to 4 days of work, which is a…

Flexibility in licenses activation / deactivation and type mix
I think that moving from a "buy license" to a "rent license" and from “On Premise” to “SaaS” means a significant change of paradigm in terms of flexibility. As most of the SaaS providers, the licenses configuration should be customizable during the contract validity among different aspects. The first aspect would be having…

Sequential order of page numbers starting on a number other than "1"
Currently in Board, we are unable to start the page (when printing to PDF) on any number other than “Page 1” while having the remaining pages follow in sequential order. It would be helpful if we could specify for the page to start on '5' (for example) and the remainder automatically follow in sequential order (5,6,7,8).

Enhanced Password Policy Configurations for Board 14 On-Premise Installations
With the release of the latest version of Board (14.1.0.0.208107), I noticed the new feature allowing users to change their own passwords on On-Premise installations. While this is a positive step toward enhancing user autonomy, it also introduces potential security concerns. Problem: In previous versions, password…
