This would help to minimise clicks and avoid unnecessary use of dropdowns. The previous version's 'Inline menu' option was only a toggle on/off…

Inline Menu Back for B11
B11 has brought many improvements in terms of ease of use and navigation, however with regards to the menu option on the top i am missing the inline menu. I am guessing there is many options and with B11 there is a fitting issue, but in this case maybe we should be able to choose which areas we wish to have in an inline…

Pager controlled axis / dynamic axis
Hi, The axis in a dataview should be controllable by a pager. Like this: The pager controls the row axis. Setting it to a different value, changes the axis dimension of the dataview. This would require a dynamic entity, with the names of the entities that the user can see. It could work via trigger or via a setting in the…

Images/pictures from URL in dataview
I want to use dynamically pictures from URL sources in screens, dataviews, label. The dataview could profit a lot from it - right now pictures used in the Column Algorithm can only reference images out of the capsule. If URLs could be used as a source, much more dynamism would be possible, also leading to leaner capsule.…

Improve Date format in Export to Excel
Dataviews exported to Excel, that contain date cubes, do not behave as 'normal' excel users would expect. The dates are exported as TEXT, not dates. When an excel filter is added to column headings, the date column lists the dates in text order (not chronologically - eg 01/04/2018, 04/01/2018, 08/12/2016 etc) When sorting…

You add two cubes, one with the sales for that customer and another with the sales of all customers. That second cube…

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.

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…

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.
