Keep Parentheses around Negatives in Export
Currently if you have set your report to show negative numbers with parentheses, the export to excel or pdf will not keep those parentheses.

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!

Synchronizing time axis between databases in a multi-database screen
Context Very often we have use cases where we need to compare data between two databases. We build two layouts (necessary because different data models) and we put them side by side. Having common selectors is of course not possible in the general case (that's the point of making two DB) but it would be very practical to…

Allow data entry with selection on layout
Hi Community Members, although I am quite aware of certain "known limitations", there is one huge wish for future versions: It is not so uncommon that layouts with data entry enabled should be restricted to certain entity members, while the rest of the screen should still show all of them. In order to achieve this, a…

LDAP Authentication Enhancement
Background: Currently, LDAP requires an administrator user to login (as configured on the LDAP Server configuration), and then all other users can login. This means that all the other users need to be under the same tree of the administrator user, regardless of the levels of nested folders. If the administrator user and…

@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…

Auto-Updating Version of BOARD Office Add-In
Hi All, not sure how many community members are affected by this, but at least for me it would be a great help, if there was an automatic update function (just like we have in the client) also for the Office Add-In. The need to deinstall one version and install another every time you connect to a different Board Server is…

Data View Columns Width faster configuration
The data view columns width is set 120 as default and adjust columns width sometimes is not "comfortable". Especially in large data view some options may be useful: - set a different default width and an option to apply it to all blocks or to selected ones. - have a shortcut key to open the width config panel (e.g. CTRL+W)…

Datamodel Tags
Hi, at the moment, when developing a BOARD datamodel, we do not have an easy way of finding sub-sets of cubes/entities/etc.. used for a specific business process inside a database or with specific features, for example: * all cubes used in data-entry for budgeting purposes * all cubes containing actual data loaded directly…

Pivoting Dataviews
THE IDEA I would like to suggest that the dataview object retains all the native functionality available in horizontal alignment when using the vertical alignment (pivoted Dataview). EXPLANATION Currently, the dataview object is highly versatile in formatting and application when aligned horizontally. One can drill,…

allow 2 descriptions/ names by entity name
Actually its only possible to create 1 description of an entity. And the same name will be displayed for the user for example in the selector (there are a few other examples like this) In this case we have to use a workaround and "hide" the name of the selector with a label Most of the entities an especially hierarchies…

New screen object: Multi-Selector
Hi All, during a presentation of a process mining tool I saw a pretty neat object and thought that maybe this could be replicated in Board: A selector that allows you to choose the entity you want use in a drop-down. What could this look like? The object would be divided into an upper and a lower part. In the upper part…

Web Client: Copy Slide in Presentation Mode
Context This is a request directly coming from a customer and would STRONGLY enhance the usability of the Presentation Mode which would close the loop. Issue - The user has a reporting page where he/she starts from a blank screen with an empty dataview and user adds columns in the report builder - The user saves the…

Identify procedures that utilise a cube
The existing Search functionality in capsules can be utilised to easily identify usage of a cube in screens and capsules.. However, the search does not return any results for use within a procedure or data reader. This functionality will be very useful when trying to identify how and which procedures or data readers update…

Disable BOARD Menu in Web Client / General Start-Screen
Hi, we want our users to navigate in our own structure. That’s possible and easy to build and administrate with the current tools. But when it comes to the Web Client we have the left site BOARD menu. I know that some of the options can be disabled, but not the capsules browser. We don't want to use the capsules browser. I…

Slack Integration
Slack has become a popular instant messaging and collaboration tool. The collaboration tools within BOARD are very powerful, but only available while users are logged into the system. I would like to see API hooks made available so a integration could be built. This would allow BOARD screens to be shared and commented upon…

Add SubGroups to Menu type Flat Horizontal and Flat Vertical
Currently, in both Desktop and WEB, the menu object, when using Flat Horizontal or Flat Vertical, does NOT display the SubGroups, if any, that are included in a Capsule's site map. Other menu types do. It would therefore be helpful to include SubGroups in both these types of menu.

Make visible "by row" and "show all" option in Dataflow
As you might have noticed, dataflow behave differently if you create the layout directly or you copy it from and existing report having sometihing by row and flag show all set. Would be nice to have it visible directly in dataflow configuration instead of setting/viewing it only when you copy and paste back to a report. I…

Data View - Hide Grand Total
Add in graphic options of data view the option "hide grand total". In some cases it could be useful. See the picture attached: this report is by currency / company. here I want to see the total by each currency but not the grand total (sum of different currencies, no sense) Workaround: set same colour for grand total…

Display Screen List correctly
In latest version, 10.3.0.50803, the Screen List, when displayed, is partially masked by a menu object of the current screen. It is not therefore possible to use the Search function as previously. This was not a problem in earlier version. Please correct.

Display missing Chart Hover over values
In Desktop Board when you hover over a Chart (Doughnut) with a layout containing a Count Cube and Vertical % Ranking, the Count and % are displayed. However, in Web, the value of the Count is not displayed. Web version of Board should, where-ever possible, provide the same chart functionality as Desktop version, otherwise…

Use Block Format in Web
Symbol Before and Symbol After block format settings should be displayed when hovering over elements in maps, treemaps, bar charts, pie charts and doughnuts. Even in latest version, 10.3.0.50803, they do not. Instead, as a workaround, it is necessary to add a manual Block Heading, repeating the Block name but with the…

Improved DataView formatting configuration
It should be possible, from the DataView settings/configuration screen to: 1 embolden/italicise the axis titles 2 left/right/centralise the axis columns My thanks to interested typ for suggesting I do this - lol, that WAS a long time ago . Better late than never!

Export to Excel - improved file-naming
It would be useful to enhance the functionality of exports to excel (and pdf) to enable more meaningful filenames to be created. My suggestion is that there should (in Web) be 2 new properties associated with each object, for which export to excel (and pdf) would use as part of exported filenames. This would improve the…

Select multiple members by text string
Hi All, currently, if you want to select a greater number of entity members on a screen (for example a list of 50 specific articles), you have to click on a selector, search for one, select it, search for the next one, select… and so on. In a few projects now, users have asked if they could enter the desired members as a…

reverse dynamic selection
I noticed that while in the select of an entity you can choose whether to make a selection or an exclusion, using the dynamic selection on a cube, you can not exclude what is in that cube directly from the select. It would seem more convenient to have this option in the select, aware that the problem can be easily solved…

Dynamic Axis Scale for Waterfall
When setting up a Waterfall it can happens that the middle bars are so small (compared to the starting and ending bars) that it is impossible to see them. Hopefully in the web the marker is plotted outside the bar, so it's visible, but the request is to have all the bar enough large to be visible. It would be nice to have…

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?…

Drill down - allow developers to choose opening size of popups
When the drill-down is selected, and the popup window appears (rather than going to a screen), the user is often presented with the need to use the horizontal scroll bar to display the full width of the data displayed, or to click on maximise button ( [] ) in top-right of popup window. We, as developers, strive to minimise…

all charts having axes > add title and unit for each axis
1. What is your idea? a common feature of charts are labels around the graphical visualisation, to describe to the reader what he is looking on. These labels are: * chart title * legend * axes titles (for all X, Y1 and Y2 axes) * axes units * ... My idea is to wish that BOARD charts let the developer define the points 3…
