"Refresh-Layout - Button" for Presentations
We switched by end of last week to the 12.5. Version, which brought the number scaling functionality. As a workaround we used in the last 2 years a TEC_Divisior-Entity which enabled us already to have a kind of number scaling feature —> BUT: every DataView contained a lot of blocks just for making this possible. With the…
Default Database Security Profile while creating a new DB - ADMIN
Dear Team, Currently when we create a Database, it is setup without any Security Profile. Could we please look to add the step of adding a default Database Security Profile - ADMIN at the time of creating a new Data model. We could have this done behind the scenes as soon as the developer finishes setting up the time range…
Formatting options for Menu object
In order to make Board applications even more beautiful many POCs or pre-sales demos make elaborate use of labels to create a menu that gives the user the feel of workflow. See below example. If the menu object had some abilities to configure the style and formatting this could concievably be done with the menu object.…
Hyperlinks disappear when export from Board to other platform or to word file.
When you put hyperlinks in the rtf file in Dynawrite in Board, they work very well. But when export them to other integration tool or export as a word document they disappear. I have also attached the image on left side text from Board and right side text from export. But in export links were disappered.
Board Theme: Header Picture Scaling
Hi all! This is a rather minor wish: When scaling windows or changing screen resolutions, the Board Theme "Header background picture" should also do so accordingly. Alternatively (or in a first step), the option to align the "Header background picture" left or center, in addition to the implicit default (right), would be…
Capsule Transporter
Hi, Customers are more and more using functions like MyView and Bookmarks. Whenever we need to deploy the Capsule from Test to Prod, the users are loosing der configuration. In addition, sometimes only new capsule procedures etc. need to be deployed for navigation purposes / fixes. Currently, there is no chance to…
Overview ApiQuery calls (# of requests) in Cloud Administration Portal
Hi all, it would be wonderful to have an overview in the cloud admin portal how many API requests you actually use per day. Since there is a limit of 500 requests per day, this would help the customer understand if they need to think about increasing the limit soon. Thanks a lot!
Restrict "Apply data selection" on "Go to screen..."
When navigating from a screen to another screen by using the action type “Go to screen…” on a label or a button, you can either check “Apply data selection” or not. However sometimes it is useful, if only a part of the data selection could be applied to the new screen. As a result it should be possible to mark per entity,…
Remove API Query limit for request made locally
Idea : Don't take query made locally - from Board server to itself - into account for the daily 500 query limit.
Add "On Error go to group" feature to SQL / Text / SAP connector data reader
The Rest API call has this nice feature that let you, in case of an error go to a group to hande the error more gracefully than “stop” It would be usefull to have have it on other object like SQL / Text / SAP connector data reader :
Impact Analysis - SQL/ASCII identifier
Hi, The impact analysis tool is very helpful, but I'd like to propose an improvement which will increase it's usability: the inclusion of a data reader type next to or as part of the connected object column. It's not possible to determine if an entity/cube which is connected to a data reader is being used in a…
Data Model object comments
For Data Model objects it would be informative to have to possibility to add comments and notes. For example a Procedure, under “Options” or a new tab, give the developer the possibility to write comments i.e. the purpose of the procedure, when it was last updated, who created/updated it. It could either be one big…
Option for logical/automated selection of Procedure on a DataView/other button
Giving developers the option to set-up a selection criterium (Algorithm) which runs one of multiple saved Procedures in the background. (see screenshot) That is to be seen as an addition to the manual selection of the Procedure by the user currently available.
Audit/Record changes to procedures / lines
As an on-going maintenance task, we frequently have to modify procedures (add more lines, modify existing, disable lines, etc.) It would be nice if (upon saving) the username/timestamp and action is recorded against each line (e.g. added, disabled, modified, etc). This can be used, in part as a version control mechanism.…
Trigger Broadcasting via API
1) What is your idea? Trigger Broadcasting via an API, using the API User 2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve? We are triggering Board procedure as part of the nightly process that runs every day. The Board procedure loads data from the backend system (that calls procedure via API when the data is ready for…
Zoom in for Graphs
required a feature in graphs whereby clicking on an expand button, we can expand into the entire screen (fill entire screen with graph)
extract all cubes > create log
Hi, when you execute an "extract all cubes" procedure action, no log is created. it would be really useful to have a detailed log about all the cubes extracted, in order to be able to check if everything worked as expected. consider that the "reload all cubes" already creates a detailed log on the reloaded cubes, so…
Additional Features in Folder Security
Problem Statement: The users don't want to view all the capsules/ folders and instead would like to navigate from a main Landing capsule to all the other Capsules based on Go to Screen navigation procedures. Issue: The existing Folder security when applied so that the users don't have visibility for other folders, impacts…
Option to Hide default Home button/ other buttons
Problem Statement: Users have been provided with a specific screen URL to be added to Favorites and used. This has been done to avoid users viewing the folders created for capsules. Issue: Now when users log in and navigate to capsules from other folders from the Landing/ Super Home screen, they have the default "Home"…
Activate number scaling when using DataView Search
currently activated number scaling (e.g. Thousands) is getting deactivated when you use the search function in a dataview It would be great if the set (defined) number scaling remains the same and is not changing. It's pretty irritating at the moment.
