ASSIGN the SAME COLOR CODING TO the SAME ENTITY MEMBERS ACROSS CHARTS
* What is your idea? It should be possible to assign a “standard” color to each entity member at a “capsule” or “environment” level. This coloring schema should be retained across all the different charts those items are displayed in. Therefore, similarly for what happens in Corporate Designer, when a certain item is added…

B14 - Less clicks, less blocking popups
Board 14 requires in some parts too many clicks which slows down the process working with e.g. the data model. An example - Adding an entity: B12: +Entity (1st click), Save Changes (2nd click), Next Entity … B14: + (1st click), Entity (2nd click), Create (3rd click), Wait approx. 3,5s for Popup to disappear, Close (4th…

More options in the BULK INSERT function
I think that the BULK INSERT function, has a lot of potential, whatsoever, it is very limited right now, it would help a lot to add more functions other than INSERT INTO. For example right now I'm trying to upload the hierarchies of our database to a SQL Database, if instead of INSERT we could also have access to the…

AutoSum Selected Range
Request for a possibility to AutoSum Selected (highlighted) range, similar to AutoSum in Excel. Example below. Condition - works on numerical cells only. We have observed that Board Users often export views to excel to run sum on a range of cells that intersect across multiple rows and columns. This becomes particularly…

Quick Layout: Ability to determine which blocks can be visible/hidden to users
Hi R&D, The current quick layout configuration allows users to hide/unhide all visible blocks within the layout. I am suggesting that developers should have the option to determine which blocks appear in the quick layout configuration (same concept that exists for entities in the axes configuration). In the particular use…

Notify if max item number reached
In desktop client, there used to be a pop-up message appearing in case a max item number was reached and that the Administrator was to be contacted.

Forcing massive log-out
It would be very useful to have the possibility to make a massive log-out of all users (not only web users, but, example, also excel users connected with add-in). Restarting the Board engine is not enough to get all users off Board. The log-out takes place only for users who are connected with the web application (for…

BOARD 11 Randomizer Tool
WHAT WAS THE RANDOMIZER TOOL. To those that knew of it, and before BOARD 11, the Randomizer Tool was hugely powerful, allowing test models of production offerings to be created in as little as five minutes (once you knew the fields and cubes to obfuscate). Simply put, it turns real data into random data. Image 1 shows the…

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…

Easier management of RULES
Often we need to delegate the management of the RULES to some User. In order to make it easier, it could be helpful to have a way to access and edit the RULES w/o accessing to the related DB area. Just for example, this can be solved using a standard Board Report (see below) where the RULE can be visualized and/or defined,…

Column sorting and filtering for the end user

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 <…
