Allow temporary cubes to be used in IfThenElse
In Board 11.2 the new functionality of temporary cube is available to allow intermediate calculation to be made and stored during a dataflow execution.

Select Based On with Temporary Cubes
The latest release notes for B12 Spring include the below statement. However it doesn't appear that Temporary Cubes are available in Select Based On Steps even though it says all steps. This would be a useful feature to add. The use of Temporary Cubes has been extended to Data readers and all Procedure steps

Label Spacing in Charts
It would be so nice to add the "Label Spacing" setting to the charts where you can set the the label spacing so they don't overlap without having to mess with the sizing of the chart. This will make the numbers so much easier to read and the charts will look great! Thank you!

Add an Error handling group in procedure
I wish there was a special group named something like "CatchError" to catch error (i.e. like in datareader) and handle gracefully errors with a message box for instance Currently, users are left on their own to figure which step crash (since you have no way to handle error, you most likely will run the remain step anyway.…

Default Layout at the break point while debugging
Hi Team, Can we incorporate the feature of default layout at the breakpoint while debugging to copy the layout at that step. This was present in previous versions(B10). It could be really helpful for the developers to debug without copying or creating the new layout from the scratch. Thanks & Regards, Neha Hasija

Add Web Login Page customization
Hi all, it's not currently possible to customize Login Page displayed by Board Web Server (background and logo). It'll be a good idea to add this functionality to the "Theme" section in the Administration menu. Pietro

Add sum of remaining values in addition to total
When filtering the layout by let's say the top customers, I'd like to know how much am I missing. Right now using "Keep Totals" I can infer the rest of the values. But that is a tedious task, best done in excel. I'd like to have an option "add remaining sum" that would create a new row above the totals' row. The content…

Add an 'Exclude' to the select tab of a data view
Would like to be able to exclude using the select on a data view, similar to the way you can exclude from a screen. Business requirement - We have a request to show storm data separate from non-storm data on the same screen. Ideally, I could put two dataviews on a screen with different selection on each. Unfortunately I…

Active influence of marker value displaying
Half of the values are displayed above, and the other half under the line. Create a control to delegate the decision how to be displayed (all top, all buttom or mixed(default like now)) to the developer. There is no possibility to influence the display at the moment

@Selection by tree
Hi all, Context In our current situation, very often I need to display the current Selection in the screen, so I use @Selection function in a general manner. In some other cases I want to display a specific one, so I use the @Entity. However sometimes I need to display the selection for a given tree (that can have 30…

(Git) Versioncontrol of Board-Database-Schema
Problem to solve Currently, it is a difficult task to carefully document a database schema. Often this task is postponed until later or is completely forgotten. Even if there is documentation, it is often not available centrally in one place for all project participants, but distributed in different places with different…

Hi all, following our discussion here: Full RAM Mode / Benchmarking : how much time does it take to load your DB in RAM ? Issue In a development environment, we are often in the situation where we have to duplicate databases to carry out testing, parallel developments, and so on. A number of similar and big databases can…

Value Slider Object
Hi, In different occasions we have been asked to report on a specific measure/KPI, or to simulate a change in its value and see the impact on other elements of the screen, through a "slider" object (see image below as example). This kind of objects are getting widely spread into web-based applications due to their ease of…

Time Functions & Entity Description
I think it would be nice if the description of the entities in row / column considered time functions of the cubes (eg offset-1 on Month, with selected month Jan.18 shows Dec.17).

Limit "Apply data selection" to relevant entities
If you navigate to another screen, by for example using a label with the action type “Go to screen”, you can either apply the entire selection to the new screen or no selection at all: It would be helpful to be able to limit the selection to those entities that are relevant to the selection on the other screen.

Append option on Reload all cubes
1. What is your idea? Create a new flag "append" on procedure action "reload all cubes" (Datareader > Database Reload > Cubes). With this flag it would be good to manage the append option of the reload all cubes. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to?…

Cube structure preview in Layout
In old board version ( < V10) if we go into layout we are able to see a preview on the entities defined for each of the cube. May be similar option can be provided in new version, so when debugging or reviewing a layout in screen or procedure we can get a preview on the structure for the cube.

Database profile - Avoid reload of database
Dear all, The database is systematically reloaded after a DB profile modification / creation. On my side I have a very huge DB (160 Gb) and reloading the DB takes a long time (about 20 minutes) and freezes the Board server for end users. So when you have several profiles to modify, we are blocking users for a long time. It…

Hello, In BOARD10.5, inside of the procedure debugger I could just click "Open Data View" for the step that I was on.

Translation of screen folders (Localization)
Hi all, we're working with the Localization feature which works great for our purpose as we could translate entities, screen texts, screen names, and entity elements. However, as I was told by the support it is currently not possible to translate screen folders. In our case, as we work with screen folders in the menus,…

Suggested Value Enhancements
It would be very useful to have some enhancements to the suggested value functionality for data entry. It is difficult to enter data quickly with the current functionality as each cell requires a click and select from a list. It would be extremely helpful for users having to do large amounts of data entry on suggested…

Sorting options in a Dataview
I am often missing more options when it comes to sorting the data in a Dataview. What I would love is something similar to Excel, where you can choose several columns for sorting your data. I am aware that you can choose if an entity gets sorted by ID or Description or sort data based on a cube, but there are times when…

Quick Layout: Ability to determine which blocks can be visible/hidden to users
Hi R&D, The current quick layout configuration allows users to hide/unhide all visible blocks within the layout. I am suggesting that developers should have the option to determine which blocks appear in the quick layout configuration (same concept that exists for entities in the axes configuration). In the particular use…

Previous Selection
Hi all, have you also come across the desire to go back to the previous selections? Okay, Board will let you reset the selection on a specific entity and then you can select something else or you can use a vertical list and click on another member. But how cool would it be to be able to go some steps back? Example: I am…

Nexel Enhancement - "Auto update algorithms"
Hi fellow community members! Question: Are you using Nexel for planning screens and did you notice that changing the order of blocks in the data layout will not be reflected in the Nexel-formulas? The consequence is, that every layout change will require adjustment of the Nexel-formulas and that can become quite tiresome.…

New Object: Process Mining Graph
Hi All, a while ago we at SDG have started to analyze business processes using system log files and different process mining tools. Since process mining has become quite a hype and many of our customers use Board, it would be a huge benefit to have a process graph as a new object within Board. For obvious reasons, I cannot…

More detailed database logging for compliance
As we grow every year and acquire bigger customers who have governmental or agency obligations, we are getting more questions around the accuracy and detail of the various Board logs.
