Dynamic ranking functions in dataview layout
At the moment the ranking functions are computed once for the dataview and only recomputed when the screen is refreshed. I'd like to have them dynamic. They should be updated whenever the sorting is changed by the user. So the cumulated values are computed as expected by the user. That would also allow finding out whether…

Search with (updating) downtotals
Currently when searching in a dataview, it is not possible to see at once the sum of rows that are returned by the search. It'd be great if the totals of the dataview could reflect the value of the search restriction.

Enhance the use of BLOB cubes
We're using the BLOB cubes to get attachments from our contributors and to consult them at central level within our organization. For a given reporting type, a single contributor can attach up to 50 external files. Currently, as soon as a contributor attached an external file, the file's name is lost for ever when stored…

Overlaying mask
Currently, a mask is applied underneath the screen so any object in the screen is rendered on top of the mask. Moreover, it doesn't allow to use layouts. It would be useful if to have layouts in masks and to have a new mask class that overlays the screen. In my current project, we are managing the user access to certain…

"Displaying Zero values as" Options
Currently you can choose to display zero values or not. If you display the zero value, it will show as "0". My idea is to add more options for how to display a zero. For instance, could we display zeros as "-". Example from excel below.

Keep Parentheses around Negatives in Export
Currently if you have set your report to show negative numbers with parentheses, the export to excel or pdf will not keep those parentheses.

Synchronizing time axis between databases in a multi-database screen
Context Very often we have use cases where we need to compare data between two databases. We build two layouts (necessary because different data models) and we put them side by side. Having common selectors is of course not possible in the general case (that's the point of making two DB) but it would be very practical to…

LDAP Authentication Enhancement
Background: Currently, LDAP requires an administrator user to login (as configured on the LDAP Server configuration), and then all other users can login. This means that all the other users need to be under the same tree of the administrator user, regardless of the levels of nested folders. If the administrator user and…

Datamodel Tags
Hi, at the moment, when developing a BOARD datamodel, we do not have an easy way of finding sub-sets of cubes/entities/etc.. used for a specific business process inside a database or with specific features, for example: * all cubes used in data-entry for budgeting purposes * all cubes containing actual data loaded directly…

Pivoting Dataviews
THE IDEA I would like to suggest that the dataview object retains all the native functionality available in horizontal alignment when using the vertical alignment (pivoted Dataview). EXPLANATION Currently, the dataview object is highly versatile in formatting and application when aligned horizontally. One can drill,…

Web Client: Copy Slide in Presentation Mode
Context This is a request directly coming from a customer and would STRONGLY enhance the usability of the Presentation Mode which would close the loop. Issue - The user has a reporting page where he/she starts from a blank screen with an empty dataview and user adds columns in the report builder - The user saves the…

Slack Integration
Slack has become a popular instant messaging and collaboration tool. The collaboration tools within BOARD are very powerful, but only available while users are logged into the system. I would like to see API hooks made available so a integration could be built. This would allow BOARD screens to be shared and commented upon…

Add SubGroups to Menu type Flat Horizontal and Flat Vertical
Currently, in both Desktop and WEB, the menu object, when using Flat Horizontal or Flat Vertical, does NOT display the SubGroups, if any, that are included in a Capsule's site map. Other menu types do. It would therefore be helpful to include SubGroups in both these types of menu.

Select multiple members by text string
Hi All, currently, if you want to select a greater number of entity members on a screen (for example a list of 50 specific articles), you have to click on a selector, search for one, select it, search for the next one, select… and so on. In a few projects now, users have asked if they could enter the desired members as a…

reverse dynamic selection
I noticed that while in the select of an entity you can choose whether to make a selection or an exclusion, using the dynamic selection on a cube, you can not exclude what is in that cube directly from the select. It would seem more convenient to have this option in the select, aware that the problem can be easily solved…

all charts having axes > add title and unit for each axis
1. What is your idea? a common feature of charts are labels around the graphical visualisation, to describe to the reader what he is looking on. These labels are: * chart title * legend * axes titles (for all X, Y1 and Y2 axes) * axes units * ... My idea is to wish that BOARD charts let the developer define the points 3…

treemap chart > modify the colour behaviour of tiles when alerts are used
1. What is your idea? currently, colouring treemap tiles (when a block alert is set) uses a shading function around the threshold value, e.g. for threshold alert = 4 and colour red, the tiles for values 3 and 5 will get a lighter red, whereas 4 has a full red colour. I have use cases where this behaviour is not the…

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…

Selector & Pager based on a layout
The Idea : Add a new variant of the Selector object were the member - and there default status - are displayed based on the result of a layout. The layout values of these new objects should have add properties to the members : * visible : member is available in the list/screen selection * default : member is active in the…

user session & user stored cubes to help with user experience
The idea is to have cube where the user is dimension managed automatically by Board and invisible to the user himself as it set on himself (@user) for everyone. 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…

INTEGRATED & ADAPTATIVE MANUAL
Hello some ideas about manual: * the Board manual should be improved and integrated in the board interface. * An a classic icon like (?) should appear somewhere in the top of the page and in the slide menu of objects * Different contents depending on license type. E.g. A developer will see the all the contents, a lite user…

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…

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…
