Add filters for tabs in containers
Hi all, what would you think of the ability to filter content on tabs of a folder container? The idea is to present information filtered diffently. For example different countries: Every tab could have it's own filter settings. I know there is the possibility to create something similar with pagers or just separate…

A "used by" feature on cube - Impact analysis
In Board, we create lots and lots of cube, some for input, some for technical purpose, some for back office operation. And from time to time, we forget even what purpose it was meant for or if it is still useful! Sometime, we need to change the structure of a cube, add a version, etc.. For all these reasons an impact…

Datetime / Timestamp type cube

Use case (exemple) : In my current project, users need to view the exact time when a task in the workflow has been completed and/or when a coworker has…

The purpose is to improve user experience by remembering his choice and his preference. I can see at least to useful variation : * User session are cleared when…

Acclaim Badges for e-Learning Certifications
While I'm a big fan of the quests and learning resources as part of the community site, I think there is an opportunity to promote BOARD and recognize accomplishments beyond just the community site. Acclaim is one of a few sites offering badges for recognition for accomplishments. Companies like Microsoft, Oracle and IBM…

Link with "button" functions on label or dynawrite text portion
It would be nice to have the possibility to set a text contained in a label or dynawrite and activate, for a defined screen, the same options allowed e,g, for a button. IN other words, "integrate" the button in a dynawrite. Example: in a screen I have a label containing this string "To update figures click on button…

Information policy needs to be improved / Share information about upcoming BOARD versions
Federica Antonelli, Leone Scaburri, Fabio Donatellis In general it would be helpful to get more and above all faster information about changes and upcoming features / releases. For example: a document by Antonio Speca was published for all Boardville 2018 participants ("The way to B11.pdf"). This could be a very useful…

Not so detailed (we have the log files for this), just with the information of - running time (start-end datehour) - if completed with some errors or not - the user that have run…

E.g. A developer will see the all the contents, a lite user…

Add sum of remaining values in addition to total
When filtering the layout by let's say the top customers, I'd like to know how much am I missing. Right now using "Keep Totals" I can infer the rest of the values. But that is a tedious task, best done in excel. I'd like to have an option "add remaining sum" that would create a new row above the totals' row. The content…

Writing a comment via pop up in a procedure
I just wanted to share this idea with the community. Feedback welcome!! We currently can write text and/or comments in a cube, however we cannot really integrate this process as part of a procedure. It would be great to enable a procedure action that allows a pop up to appear where we can write text and that this text is…

BOARD INTERNAL CONNECTOR
Hi community. My environment is based on sevaral databases, mainly set by function, and there're various procedures to move data from one db to another. Such processes are managed using cubes/trees export and reload. But in my opinion it would more comfortable have a kind of "internal connector" that allows a direct…

Insert New Member Trigger in ATO
It is sometimes needed that when you create a new element (a version for versioning for example) in an ATO a procedure is started, however triggers can only take place when we change the element inside and not when we create a new one. In the example from versioning maybe we want to create a new element with an ATO and…

OPEN A SCREEN WITHOUT LAYOUTS REFRESH
Dear community Inhibit initial layout execution refresh is now possible only in some cases. 1) through a procedure with an action "go to screen" + option "disable initial layout execution" or through an "On open trigger" procedure. 2) Using an ATO pager 3) while developing a layout, using the option "Apply" instead of "OK"…

QUICK RELATIONSHIPS SCAN REPORT
Checking relationships and identify missing items (from Bottom Up scan) or floating items (from Top Down scan) may result in a quite long activity, especially for big databases. And should always be performed by developers. It would be nice have a procedure action "check relationships" that perform the scan and generate a…

DEFAULT SETTINGS IMPROVEMENTS

When a new ascii data reader is being created, the dafult path is always C:\Board\... even if the default server path is e.g. D: \Board...It would be nice if the sugegsted path in data…

Customise text on 'action' block in dataview
I don't believe this is currently possible (but correct me if I'm wrong) so I will raise it as an idea. When a procedure is added as an action on a block in a dataview layout it defaults to displaying the name of the procedure when the user hovers/clicks on it (as below) with the word 'Run' at the beginning. Often the name…

Fix Relationships - Ask are you sure prompt
In future releases of BOARD can we please prompt the user if they click on the Fix Relationships button, if they are sure to run this procedure. I have had a few situations arise where this has been clicked by mistake, or out of curiosity, and then the maximum number of entities issue as occurred.

Substitution formula in the data reader protocol definition
It could be useful for developers to have substitution formulas recognized on the path of a data reader. This could help particularly in two situations: 1) If we copy a database on the same machine and rename it, there is no need of changing manually all data readers paths 2) When we want to load all files within the same…

Github Diff Viewer
Most BOARD installations use proprietary datasets that should not be shared for a variety of reasons. There also exist numerous, public, free, useful datasets that could facilitate more detailed analysis. Now that we have a community site to connect, the next step is to engage. Github is a popular tool used for storing…

So when you connect using the BOARD Add in on the exported data view, you can open the layout in Excel and the configuration is there. When you export to excel from the BOARD client, the layout configuration is available when…
