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? Board cannot display data points on a time-based X-axis for at least some chart types. Commodity trades are displayed as…

Tables expand dynamically to fit screen
1) What is your idea? Enable all Board elements and screens to expand dynamically to fill a user's screen based on their screen resolution rather than having, for example, tables as isolated elements with their own navigation. 2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve? 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…

Picture algorithm - remove automatic resizing
Dear, In the current version of Board (12.2) we are using the picture algorithm to display informations such has smiley of useful icons. We have found that currently the size of the picture in the algorithm column is not based on the actual picture size but the picture is resized based on the column width. It is forcing…

Graphical Enhancement: Bar Filling
Hi! Currently there is no opportunity to fill bars in different styles. It would be an enhancement to choose the filling-style of a bar separatly for an easy access. An example in the attachment.

Bar Chart Enhancement
Hi! Currently there is no opportunity to cut bars. The idea behind cutting the bar is compressing the bars for visual advantage without loosing the scaling. In the attachment you will see an example of the visual effect, which would be a great improvement for waterfall charts e.g.

About the data reader's ETL screen
On the ETL screen of the data reader, it was assumed that the execution result was displayed in OUTPUT. However, running a data reader could result in different results than output results. Can't the OUTPUT part of the ETL guarantee the execution result?

Blue dot error messages - open a pop up window and allow the error message to be copied
While using Board, there maybe some error in a process. The error is captured in the main menu (three blue lines menu button next to the circle with your initials in it). To report this error, the user must click the menu, click Messages, hover over the message so it expands and can be seen, then they must take a screen…

v12.1_Give the option to hide the dotted lines in dataviews ?
Hi Team, With v12,1, we've noted that in any dataviews, the selection of a cell makes "dotted lines" appearing (both horizontal & vertical), which could quickly turn to ugly display, depending on the background used / type of data you're showing (text for instance). We would be glad to be able to de-activate this new…

Screen export should look as is in excel
* What is your idea? An output screen having multiple dataviews when exported form different tabs/ sheets in excel. Instead, it should be seen the same as we see on the screen, i.e., one below the other and with the same format. As of now when we export the screen because it forms multiple tabs/ sheets, clients are having…

Entity Format template should be applicable at all levels
* What is your idea? Entity formatting if selected as default should be applicable on all levels if used in a dataview. For example, if I have 3 dimensions in my dataview and the view is collapsed, the entity format fails. I see a gray background even if the view is formatted. Also, the decimals/ prefix/ suffix don’t stick…

DATA - hide/show all columns
We do have some data views with a lot of columns (>30) - many users often need to hide columns via function "data" - but it's very time consuming if the first need to hide each single column with clicking on the eye - at least when they only want to have e.g. 1 or two columns in the dataview from the 30. For this purpose…

Impact Analysis - SQL/ASCII identifier
Hi, The impact analysis tool is very helpful, but I'd like to propose an improvement which will increase it's usability: the inclusion of a data reader type next to or as part of the connected object column.

I want to write a calculation formula in Excel
It is possible to add a formula to Excel temporarily, but if you write to Board, the number will be overwritten in the cell containing the formula and the formula will disappear. I understand this is a specification. We correspond it by using macros and "Use Excel Formulas". Is there any other way?

Screen-level export to excel for Presentations
Dear team, There is currently in the top-right menu an option to extract the whole screen to Excel, with 1 tab per layout, which is very practical. However it is not available when the same screen is customized and added to a Presentation. Idea : align the Presentations available export functions with the Screen. That…
