Export printable report - Full screen
Recently I had a client ask if it was possible to export a screen to a presentation slide, where it takes up the full screen. As you can see, the largest slide size available is 16:9, with the other being 4:3. Sometimes clients would like if the screen takes up the full slide size without having a lot of whitespace around…

Fix the duration in the Gantt-Chart (its off by 1 day)
Hi, it seems like the automatic calculation of the duration, which one can enable in the settings of the Gantt-Chart, is wrong by one day. For example, the duration for an activity from the 10.1.2023 to the 13.01.2023 is shown as 3 days, while in reality there are 4 days: 10,11,12,13. I assume it just calculates…

"Expand Above" in Data View
Hello, Version: B12.6 In data views with more than one entity per row, headers are automatically added for each entity used. Like so: However, if we want to have the summation going [b]down[/b], a subtotal at the bottom is required. This means that we end up with an empty header row, which just takes up space. My…

Turn off automatic search in name search in Entities/Cubes list
1. What is your idea? Currently when you search name in entities/cubes screen, if you start to type name in the search field, Board search name and filter the list immediately. It would be good if we can turn off this automatic search and search will be triiger after pushing enter key. 2. What specific problem are you…

change user authentication type of existing user
When we started with BOARD, we had some companies abroad which were not connected to active directory --> so they had no windows user. That was the reason why we created quite a lot of users with password as authentication type. But over the years more and more companies are now connected to active directory - but the only…

Export User permissions (selections on entities)
It would be great being able to export a list of all BOARD Users not only with Security Profile, Licence type, DB Profile but also with their specific permissions on entities in different databases.

Possibility to show code and description of the entity day
Hi, it would be great to have the possibiliy to show either code or description of the entity day. Now it doesn't matter if you set show code or show description, because always description is displayed. I remeber former board versions where this was possible. Thanks and regards Thomas

Multiple Screen printing configuration
Allow te capability to save more than 1 printing configuration in a screen. When screen export is set in a procedure, only one configuration is allowed. e.g. in a screen with graphs and tables, I would set 2 buttons , 1 to export a pdf with graphs only and 1 to export both tables and diagrams. Currently is not possible…

Database name in DataEntry_YYYYMM.log
1) What is your idea? Provide the database name for each data entry in the data entry log file. 2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve? When the file C:\Board\Dataset\Log\DataEntry_YYYYMM.log is populated we can see only the cube name but not the name of the database. This is a problem if our application is…

Warn Board users when cloud planned maintenance is about to start
We had a few cases with a customer having a user working on Board when the monthly cloud maintenance kicked off on the machine hosting the Board server. Although it is said on the SaaS agreement which Sundays we plan to patch their servers, and they communicate it to their usersbase, it can still happen that someone is…

Rich text box with a character limit please
Currently there are two choices, either a text field where the user can enter some plain text or a rich text box that creates an RTF. Could we have an RTF text box with controls on the number of characters the user can enter. For example, as the admin I’d decide to limit a text box to 4000 characters. The user would enter…

Database and R serve
Today, Board allows to store data in a relational database. New features allow to connect to an R server in order to run R scripts. However, those servers, if used, are based elsewhere (on premise, or in the cloud). Therefore, the architecture is more complex and less efficient due to the time data goes from one place to…

Call procedure - Run on current db option
Hi all, while reading through steps in procedure, the "call procedure" steps do show just the flags: - Copy current selection - Copy back current selection while - Run on current procedure is not shown in the step description. It would be a great enhancement to also show this 3rd option. Stefano

Option for "Page by" in Excel to show Code for tab name (not Description)
When using "Page by" option to export data to Excel by page, the tab (i.e. sheet) name in Excel is the Description which is unhelpful since most names are very long. I would like to lodge an enhancement request to allow the administrator to change a setting so that the tab name is the Code (not the Description).

Export Cube name list process
Hi there, I'd like to request (unless already possible) a way to export cube/ entity/ tree name lists from a database. As far as I can see this is not possible in Board web and the only thing that comes close in the client is, for example for cubes, listing all of them in a dataview and extracting metadata. A feature like…

Activate Dataview layout preview refresh on demand only
Hi, Currently we observe very often that when end-users are trying to reconfigure a layout, the preview is trying to refresh every time a modification is made. In some cases, it can generate 10 or 20 layout refreshs (when adding / removing axis or blocks) that are useless and can overload the sytem. It is especially a…

Enable charts to use time as a dimension
1) What is your idea? Enable charts (e.g., a line graph) to display transactional data with a time series X-axis regardless of transaction volumes. 2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve?

Tables expand dynamically to fit screen

Tables and other Board elements only take up…

Fit size of chart legend elements
The size of the legend elements in charts always depends on the length of the longest element. Thus the legend elements are always equally distributed within the legend. However if you only have a few elements in the legend with very different lengths it might look weird. E.g. you have two blocks "Costs" and "Number of…
