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.

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

(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.

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).

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.

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?…

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…

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…

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.…

BOARD INTERNAL CONNECTOR
Hi community. My environment is based on sevaral databases, mainly set by function, and there're various procedures to move data from one db to another.

Error messages in layouts more explicit than "Oops"

Due to this limit, sometimes the users have a "Oops" error in their layout, but…
