Option to Hide Tabs
Dear all, The tab container is probably one of the most used objects across many applications and in my experience an absolute customer and user favourite. Sometimes, it is necessary to remove tabs for a certain situation but you want to keep the contained dataview for future use. Saving a backup screen, deleting the tab,…
Enhance Excel-Addin Layout Execution
In last couple of releases export functionality was taken to the next level. Bulk data export via Bulk Insert, Export Dataset or even via the API interface now make it possible to export more than just an ordinary layout. It would be great if this kind of layout execution could be adapted for the Excel add-in as well, so…
Column sorting and filtering for the end user
Hi, it is often the case that Board replaces a previous Excel solution. In Excel there is the useful function that a filter can be placed over the columns with the help of which the user can sort in ascending or descending order. He or she can also set value filters there, for example, that only rows larger > or smaller <…
Automatic termination of a layout
It happens that nightly scheduled procedures are blocked by untimely layouts that run endlessly and block the processes; Would it be possible to automatically stop layouts that run for more than X minutes or hours?
Capsule Transporter
Hi, Customers are more and more using functions like MyView and Bookmarks. Whenever we need to deploy the Capsule from Test to Prod, the users are loosing der configuration. In addition, sometimes only new capsule procedures etc. need to be deployed for navigation purposes / fixes. Currently, there is no chance to…
Interactive Select Option
SCENARIO: We have a procedure to navigate from the home screen to a planning screen. Before the "go to screen" step, there are several selections that are required to ensure the screen opens with the desired information / planning detail level. Some of the selections are made using a simple interactive select, others are…
Selector : Add Exclude option in pop-up mode
Currently, with a selector in vertical mode users have the choice to change the "selection mode" from Include to Exclude : However, for a selector in pop-up the Exclude option isn't available : Unlike in the screen selector : It would be nice to have the Exclude option added to Selector in pop-up mode as in screen…
Step call procedure: deactivate checkboxes to copy current selections (back) by default
Minor idea: when creating a new procedure step "call procedure" the two checkboxes to copy current select / copy back current select are active by default. I have often seen both checkboxes activated in applications and quite often it turned out they have no purpose - the developer simply did not think whether it´s…
Sorting Rows - Keep Top setting for more than one dimension
We have several requirements with keep top setting AND showing more that one dimension in the dataview. It seems like this function only works as long as there is only one dimension in the rows. E.g. I'd like to have the Top 25 Materials sorted on Sales-Cube desc. on a material level - and as second information I would…
Select Based On with Temporary Cubes
The latest release notes for B12 Spring include the below statement. However it doesn't appear that Temporary Cubes are available in Select Based On Steps even though it says all steps. This would be a useful feature to add. The use of Temporary Cubes has been extended to Data readers and all Procedure steps
Adding search engines in all process options
It would be very helpful to have a search engine like "Select Entity Based on Cube" or "Clear Cube" (Picture) in all options where a selection has to be made. There are many options, such as "Remove Selection on Entity" or "Cube Align" (picture), where you have to search for entities or cubes by scanning a list.
Moving elements with the arrows on the keyboard
Hi! I think it would make screen design much easier if you could move the elements with the arrows on the keyboard, maybe to adjust the final pixels you need the side panel, but for the initial design it's much easier than with the mouse.
Recent Colors in Object Color Menu
Hi fellow Boardies, This is a suggestion for what may seem like a small, minor feature that I think could end up saving developers quite a bit of time during front-end development of an application. Frankly, I’m not exactly sure why it hasn’t been made available up to this point (but I’m no software developer, so excuse…
Board Theme: Header Picture Scaling
Hi all! This is a rather minor wish: When scaling windows or changing screen resolutions, the Board Theme "Header background picture" should also do so accordingly. Alternatively (or in a first step), the option to align the "Header background picture" left or center, in addition to the implicit default (right), would be…
Default Layout at the break point while debugging
Hi Team, Can we incorporate the feature of default layout at the breakpoint while debugging to copy the layout at that step. This was present in previous versions(B10). It could be really helpful for the developers to debug without copying or creating the new layout from the scratch. Thanks & Regards, Neha Hasija
Hyperlinks disappear when export from Board to other platform or to word file.
When you put hyperlinks in the rtf file in Dynawrite in Board, they work very well. But when export them to other integration tool or export as a word document they disappear. I have also attached the image on left side text from Board and right side text from export. But in export links were disappered.
Default Database Security Profile while creating a new DB - ADMIN
Dear Team, Currently when we create a Database, it is setup without any Security Profile. Could we please look to add the step of adding a default Database Security Profile - ADMIN at the time of creating a new Data model. We could have this done behind the scenes as soon as the developer finishes setting up the time range…
Enhancement of Virtual Cubes
Initially Virtual Cubes are a fantastic feature of BOARD. They are only acitve during the runtime of a procedure, you didn´t have to take care of old values, they don´t waste performance saving data to harddisk, … If it would be possible using a Virtual Cube also for Selection Steps and IF Statements it would be fantastic…
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…
Audit/Record changes to procedures / lines
As an on-going maintenance task, we frequently have to modify procedures (add more lines, modify existing, disable lines, etc.) It would be nice if (upon saving) the username/timestamp and action is recorded against each line (e.g. added, disabled, modified, etc). This can be used, in part as a version control mechanism.…
