Text with placeholders to be filled with blocks
There are some reports with lots of recurring text and numbers that change. So I want to be able to use the label field and the dynawrite with not just one block, but with many. And in between put some text. e.g. "The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that its pending home sales index fell 1.5% to a reading of…

Allow Reverse Algorithm on a TEXT algorithm
Currently you can only populate a text cube via a reverse algorithm if the algorithm is numeric. This seems somewhat pointless as we have numeric cubes for these. What would be more useful is being able to apply a reverse algorithm on a text algorithm into a text cube. It doesn't come up often, but the workaround to get…

Improve the Selector display used within a procedure
When performing data input over the web, we're triggering procedures relying on the "Interactive selection" feature. When the selector pop-up is displayed, it always shows the "code + description" of the entity member, which is, in a data entry user point of view, sometimes not convenient. Technically speaking, we'd like…

Drill down in maps
Would it be possible for data that is being displayed in a map object to be distributed to a lower level of detail as you zoom on a map. Say for example, my Geography hierarchy is * Country * Region/State * City * Suburb/Postcode * Street Currently you would need Lat/Long cubes for each level in this hierarchy and 5 map…

Blur Other Objects
After reviewing some of the e-learning materials, I noticed how the videos blur the background while text is the focus of the video. From a visual perspective, it draws the eye exactly to the text, removing distractions from view. We already have a property to hide objects, but I would like to be able to focus attention…

Broadcast function to send SMS
Currently BOARD can send alerts to email via the broadcast capability, could this be extended to allow the sending of alerts via SMS? I haven't fully researched but a quick google suggests that there are a number of subscription services for redistributing an email to an SMS that may work. Does the community think this…

Blockchain Datareader
Background Blockchain projects represent a new datatype with some fascinating properties. These global, distributed, decentralized, immutable ledgers use cryptography to account for digital tokens. Just as we need to pull from databases and ascii files, loading a blockchain into BOARD could prove to be a helpful tool in…

BOARD Community Navigation frustrations
I am finding it increasingly frustrating when reading through forums. I am used to using forums, scrolling down, selecting an article to read and then returning to the point in the 'stack' that I left by using a browser 'back' button. However, on the BOARD forum, I will scroll through a forum and select an article to read.…

Cube Title as a Combobox
When I view the structure and versions of a cube, the text box can be changed to change the name of the cube. This is helpful when setting up new cubes, but doesn’t facilitate reviewing multiple cubes quickly. I would like to see a selection arrow at the right end of the text box that allows a user to select a different…

Drill Peek
When navigating a grid dataset, we already have the option to make each cell a button. From that button, we can drill to a screen or protocol for more information. Doing so opens the target in either the same tab or a new tab, changing the focus to the new screen. I think it would be nice to provide a peak tool, such that…

search icon in capsule for screens
Would be great to have a "search for screens" button not only in the screen list on the left but also in the top right menu (e.g. next to "fit mode" or so) → see screen shot. Would make life of users easier to find certain screens within a capsule.

Preview SQL statement should also work with final data reader process
We are using B12 cloud version and are connected to several SQL databases (our data warehouse). I know, best idea and work is that the SQL database has tables and views organised, that fit the need of board - without the need to implement ETL etc. However, life is not alway such easy and to get this, I always need support…

Presentations Modules - Make independant links to screens to the folders in which they are stored
Make independant links to screens to the folders in which they are stored. When we move a capsule in a sub-folder, the links to the screens changed and the users' presentations are broken, they need to rebuild their reports, because the name of the folder is in the URL of the screen, and in the presentation. This is very…

Number scaling available for the screen
Number scaling is available for dataview object (will be available for graphs in 14 version). It would be great to be able to associate this functionality with the screen directly, whatever the objects present on this screen, and thus benefit from it for each of the objects visible on the screen.

Dynamic select for Fiscal Year to date
Currently within Board functionality you can dynamically select based on calendar year to date. Numerous customers like to report based on fiscal year and not just calendar year so the option to have the fiscal year to date would be a much more efficient way to create fiscal year to date reporting satisfying both customers…

FlexGrid - Add more settings to the embedded charts
The embedded charts in FlexGrid are still very limited. It is therefore necessary to integrate the settings of these charts with the same functionality as the chart object (or at least the main ones): Some reported issues from our customers: It is not possible to adjust/resize the X-axis labels in such a way to maximize…

Ability to enable data entry at groupings when hide totals row is enabled
Hi, we have a customer who's asking if we could enable data entry at a grouping level when multiple entities are by row when the total row within the grouping isn't enabled through the feature of hide totals row. Since there are multiple entities by row, it is proving to be a hassle to locate the total row for each…

Error handling of "DR" and "Procedure"

Broadcasting – Select Presentation Owner When Making Changes
In the Broadcasting feature, we have noticed that when a user makes a change to an existing presentation or its mailing list, they now become the owner of the presentation. However, this can break the presentation if this user does not have the same permissions as the original owner. Could we please have a way to mitigate…

Layout: add functionality "copy/paste data block"
Hello, As far as i know, it is not currently possible to copy one block of a layout and paste it right away in the same layout. in older versions of Board, "dragging" a block and dropping it on a line below in the same layout was copying the block. I can't find this in Board 14.1. The feature is a time-saving one for Board…
