Expand datareader edit window in Board 14
The edit window for datareader in Board 14 is way too narrow. Currently it is nearly impossible to fully identify cubes, SQL table names or column names on a regular screen. The edit window for datareader should be just as wide as the pop up which opens when creating a new datareader:

Board Tree Public API
In addition to the existing APIs, it would be useful to have a public schema for retrieving a specific hierarchy via API, similar to the one available for entities. Currently, if we want to extract a tree from the Board, we must create a custom API query that includes all the necessary fields from the layout section, which…

Board 14: Please bring back the possibility to change the screen fit mode in design mode
With Board 14 the possibilty is vanished to adjust the applied fit mode in design mode. You can only change the screen fitting when you are in play mode. In our opinion working in an actual size mode is not always the most efficient way, especially when arranging screen elements or when the enviroment background with an…

B14: Enhance Debugger options
Hi Team, I was used to work with layouts in the debugger the same way as in a DataView Layout on the screen - adjusting column widths, exporting to XLS, searching for cubes to add as block into the layout… This is the behaviour in B12 whereas B14 behaves pretty differently in those cases: You can't export, you can't edit…

Impact Analysis scope to include Capsule procedures
At the moment, impact analysis only reports on the objects and their dependencies that are present in the data model. This excludes the capsule-level procedures. For example, If we search for a procedure and identify which other procedures make a call to it, it only lists the procedures at the data model level while there…

Calculate data flows on GPU (ILGPU)
With machine learning, for example Tensorflow, it is possible to perform calculations on a CPU or GPU. Powerful GPUs are often used for this in order to achieve a significant performance gain. Idea: Calculating data flows in Board using a GPU. I could imagine that this is possible using ILGPU. ILGPU is a new JIT…

Paste a selection from e.g. excel
Hi, a possibility where I can select e.g. several customers by simply posting a list of customer numbers from an excel into the selector would be amazing. Checking a number of, lets say, 100 customers currently forces you to search and select them one by one (for an enduser). Therefore a copy paste solution from an…

Raise the limit of Custom Time Entities on Time Range
Main Idea: Today, the number of Custom Time Entities is limited to 4. My idea would be to raise this limit number to at least 10. It would be great to have no limit, if possible. The last project I worked on lasted 40 days. If I had a free custom time entity, I could have saved around 3 to 4 days of work, which is a…

Flexibility in licenses activation / deactivation and type mix
I think that moving from a "buy license" to a "rent license" and from “On Premise” to “SaaS” means a significant change of paradigm in terms of flexibility. As most of the SaaS providers, the licenses configuration should be customizable during the contract validity among different aspects. The first aspect would be having…

Sequential order of page numbers starting on a number other than "1"
Currently in Board, we are unable to start the page (when printing to PDF) on any number other than “Page 1” while having the remaining pages follow in sequential order. It would be helpful if we could specify for the page to start on '5' (for example) and the remainder automatically follow in sequential order (5,6,7,8).

Enhanced Password Policy Configurations for Board 14 On-Premise Installations
With the release of the latest version of Board (14.1.0.0.208107), I noticed the new feature allowing users to change their own passwords on On-Premise installations.

Hi all, I noticed that "Capsule Print Template" is not available in the last versions of Board. https://www.boardmanual.com/prev-man/Chapter_7_-_Capsules_files/Capsule_Design/Capsule_Print_Template.htm That was a very useful section. Now with "Export printable report" is not possible to:* Insert an image in the header (for…

Support x-www-form-urlencoded body type for POST API Calls
At the moment, in REST API Calls if I have to set up a POST request with a body, the body type can only be in json format, which means that the only value supported for header Content-Type is "application/json". In some cases, especially API endpoints that return tokens but they are not standard OAuth2 flows (like in some…

Automatic Profile Security Update When Renaming Folders in Board
We propose that profile security should automatically update when changes are made to the platform. Specifically, when a capsule folder is renamed using the "Rename" option in Board, the system should reassign the folder's permissions to the new name across all user profiles that previously had access to it. This way,…

Save FlexGrid user filter selection
For the user, when working on a FlexGrid, they might create a nice data view that they want to use again another day. Can you please add a way for the user to save the FlexGrid view. Maybe if you made say 3 slots, allowing them to save three different views, that would be ok. This would mean that when they open the screen,…

Base Smart Import suggested values in several dimensions
Hello, We just noticed that the Suggested Values Based on Cube feature has a limitation and it could be a good thing to improve its behavior. Currently, when the column is mapped with a text cube where the data expected is an entity value, it is possible to restrict the available suggested values using a cube. However, it…

Enhance capsule log with Cube physical name
Currently, the capsule log only exports the cube name: In order to import and better analyse this log it would be very helpful if also the physical cube name would be exported (same as for instance in the data-entry log).

B14: Make better use of whitespace in procedure editor--adjust column width
Hi Team, whenever you're editing a procedure in B14—there's so much whitespace in between the columns "Action", "Detail" and "Note" which could be used better. One option would be to make the column widths adjustable (actions usually don't need that much space, but notes do for documentation reasons). Have a look at this…

Improve SQL error log
Hi all, Board has SQL error log like "SQLError_YYYYMMDD.log". We cannot easy to load this log into cube. However, in many cases, customer would like to know what kind of error they have in daily batch. Could you improve to data format of the log as normalized? I have tested it on B14.1. However, it is still same format as…

Ability to use javascript or Ajax or any scripting language to customize visuals
Ajax or javascript (or similar) scripting languages have evolved over a while and have been used to add dynamicity to visuals or show how screen objects behave when certain actions are performed. In the same context, if we can have the ability to put in some scripting capabilities, we can enhance the screen object and how…

ASCII Flat File DataReader - Move data file after reading
Dear all, I really appreciated the new "Delete file after reading" checkbox in procedures. I guess that, like most of you, our customer(s) require to move the flat file from its folder to another folder after its data was integrated into Board. However, most of the time, keeping the file in order to control the data loaded…

Hi, I hope this IDEA finds you all good and helpful. This IDEA concerns a simple feature that is currently not available in the Board application and making this available can help solving many issues related to the Incorrect reports and data. Cause of IDEA: Many users use the 'Replicate' feature, thinking that they are…
