Simple but improved user authorisation possibilities
Problem: If you use several databases, then you have to create a “Profile” for every possible combination of databases, at the moment. For example: If you have 2 Databases, then you have to create Profile_1 for all users, which are authorised for database 1, Profile_2 for all users, which are authorised for database 2 and…

When the file C:\Board\Dataset\Log\ProcedureExecution_YYYYMM.log is populated we can see only the procedure name but not the name of the database. This is a problem…

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?

Totals on top of each group
Hello, currently checking the Dataview Option "View Total on Expanded Group" the totals are shown both on top and bottom of each group. It would be nice to choose where to show the totals (on top OR bottom of each group).

Adding a large number of users
I have a question about how to add users to the security system. Currently, I have to manually add users one by one from Board Client or Board Web. Is there any way to import them all at once from a text file such as CSV?

USER-specific data views pivoting/flattening
When using rows&columns function and changing the shown entities in the table - it would be great if there is a possibility for the user (normal users - no power users) to decide whether the table is pivoted (which is standard) or flattened..

USER-specific display settings ENTITIES
We had now several request if it's possible, that a user (normal user - no power user) can define, if the entity shows code, description or code + description in a dataview - especially for entities which are chosen via Quick Layout (rows & columns). Only the default display setting from the entity itself is taken, and…

Subscriptions - IMPROVEMENTS
It would be great if a user can define when creating a new subscription, if the format has portrait or landscape format --> as most of the screens fit better on landscape format. Also it would be great if they could deactivate selections and the url in the export and probably add elements, like it's available in "create…

Hide tooltip icon when Data entry is on for empty cells
In Board 11, the tooltip function was displaying only it's icon and content if and only if there was content in the block used as reference for the tooltip. This was also regardless the status of the block (data entry on or off). In Board 12 this behavior was changed and if the block used as reference is in Data Entry…

When the file is uploaded into Board, the file name is lost and the file gets a generic name. We would like to keep the file names of files uploaded to Board (as BLOB cube). 3) What…

hiding parts of chart legend
We are having "technical" cubes/formulars in charts for design aspects, which are not solvable via available settings --> e.g. fixed zero-line and max in a chart showing net sales per month for py, act and bud. And these two parts are listed in the legend which is a bit irritating for the user --> therefore it would be…

Unbalanced Hierarchy Sorting
In board 12, the current unbalanced hierarchy function is great, however there is no option to have the parents/members sorted by your own criteria. Currently all the totals sit at the top of the tables. To be able to have the totals sit at the bottom of the piece of data would be ideal, as well as being able to change…

Block Reference - Dynamic Selection on
It would be great if dynamic selections would be available at block references (for used cubes in data views/charts) --> this would probably make currently necessary count/selection-cubes irrelevant and enable more flexibility - especially regarding time selections or time related columns.

Export to XLSX - Overcome limitations of layout export with huge datasets
Idea: We use the export functionality of Board intensively. For the layout export (procedure layout export or export to excel) it is annoying that we have to decide for the row entities whether we just want to see the code OR the description OR both concatenated when the default settings doesn’t match to our needs for the…

Chart to Chart Drill-Down in pop-up window

Currently this is…

Broadcasting variable parts

XLSX-export --> selection export with one dimension
It would be great if the option "export selections" when exporting a dataview to Excel, would be already available when having one dimension in the dataview --> currently it's only possible when two dimensions are used in the dataview

Userprofiles - default selections

CHARTS - Functions DATA and ROWS & COLUMNS
It would be very helpful/useful having the data and rows & columns functionality also for charts - not only for dataviews. These would enable much more flexibility for the user.

Integrate authorizations / DB Profiles in Impact analysis
Hi, the "Impact analysis" is a really useful tool. However one item is missing from the analysis regarding the authorizations, it's the database profile. For example, if I need for technical reasons to clear an entity, I would need to double check if that entity is used as a select in a database profile. Integrating this…

The option to hide and show containers in realtime
Hi, It would be nice to have the option to show and hide containers without a screen refresh. This way you can add for example your selectors in a container and with a small button on your screen you can show or hide the container. This would give you more screen space because your navigation and filters can be hidden. See…
