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…

But now, it's now lagging behind compare to other solution it terms of versatility. What we need : Every object currently in a capsule should be attached to a namespace that is store into a…

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. A couple of ideas based on customer feedback are outlined below: 1. The ability to show the detail if the line in the procedure completed…

Suggestions for Card Object Enhancements : Request to you include some enhancements in the Card Objects 1.Date Format should be in the Calendar form If the data entry is enabled on the Date type cube in the card Object, it should show the calendar option to input the date.

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. Such processes are managed using cubes/trees export and reload. But in my opinion it would more comfortable have a kind of "internal connector" that allows a direct…

Exclude based on cube
Hello everyone, should it be possible to implement something not only to select based on cube but also to exclude based on cube? In the development of both screens and, mostly, procedures, this could be very helpful! Thanks in advance to anyone who will reply or join or edit my idea! Marco

Make Reverse Rules have full functionality
Hi, currently Reverse Rules have the following limitations: 1) Does not work if there are multiple row entities (the normal rule still works, if the level 1 entity is not a parent hierarchie of the rule entity -> reverse rule doesn't work) 2) Only works, if "Show all" is enabled on rows 3) Reverse rule doesn‘t work if rule…

Direct Data Entry into a Cube in a DynaWrite
I can currently enter data into an RTF cube that is used in a DynaWrite Layout, but this is only possible if I set up a data entry enabled DataView with the RTF cube (see Add Narrative below): I would like to be able to write my text directly into the data entry enabled cube in the DynaWrite (i.e. 'Project narrative',…

Error messages in layouts more explicit than "Oops"
Hi all, Context & issue: A few months ago, we implemented a limit on reports known as "Rows Upper Limit" to prevent users from overloading the system with too big queries (usually, addind all axis of a cube to extract everything to excel...). Due to this limit, sometimes the users have a "Oops" error in their layout, but…

Dynamic time offset
There is no chance to label the layout blocks with an offset. If you want to show the previous year, the block has to be labeled with "PY" or similar. To handle it you have to implement a tempcube with the period entity and a capsule procedure which is triggered by screen open trigger like this: Then you can use the…

Dynamic Header Names
It would be great if the headers, mainly for dataviews, could be more dynamic. Variables like previous month, previous year(@Month, @PYMonth, @PreviousMonth) would be great!

Collapse & Drill by columns
Often we experience the need to create huge reports that contain several blocks with entities by column. This kind of layouts can generate an high number of columns, and this could have an impact on performances and usability as well. In the following example, having two cubes and two years selected, the detail by month…

Breakpoint & Procedure Debugger
Hi everybody, I'd like to share an idea for an improvement which will be helpful for Board consultants and developers. When we try to debug a procedure, looking for issues or investigating unexpected behaviour, we usually place breakpoint in critical steps in order to evaluate the results of dataflows, active selections,…

rows & columns - control execution button
It would be great if there would be a button in the rows & columns function where the user can start the execution/update of his changes —> currently BOARD is loading every step you make in there - if you made a mistake (choose wrong dimension or pull it into the wrong area) the execution in the backend/running tasks is…

BOARD 11 Randomizer Tool
WHAT WAS THE RANDOMIZER TOOL. To those that knew of it, and before BOARD 11, the Randomizer Tool was hugely powerful, allowing test models of production offerings to be created in as little as five minutes (once you knew the fields and cubes to obfuscate). Simply put, it turns real data into random data. Image 1 shows the…

Block(s) copy in layout/dataview
1) Copy&Paste a block is really usefull because configure each one is really wasted time comsuming (ReferTo, TimeFunctions, Format, etc...) as it is possible in Desktop client. 2) Also, copy&Paste block format would save lot of time 3) As now it is possible to copy&paste several steps in a procedure, why it is not…

ASSIGN the SAME COLOR CODING TO the SAME ENTITY MEMBERS ACROSS CHARTS
* What is your idea? It should be possible to assign a “standard” color to each entity member at a “capsule” or “environment” level. This coloring schema should be retained across all the different charts those items are displayed in. Therefore, similarly for what happens in Corporate Designer, when a certain item is added…

And here are some others: Adam Elvin 05 Nov 2017 Conditional Display of Columns -…

@Selection on Blocks
One of the major issues we have with trend based dataviews and charts is having to use CY, CY-1, etc for current year and current year -1. This is very annoying to end users and causes us to "hard code" the years into the block header, meaning all reports must be updated each year, month etc. when we use block references…

Extract all Cubes – Filter Cubes by Entity
Description In Board it is possible to extract all cubes with procedure step “Extract all cubes”. It would be great to have an option to filter the cubes by entity or list of entities. For example I have a database with 1500 cubes. 600 cubes use the entity Planversion. I like to extract only all cubes with this entity. Use…
