Custom dataview options and actions
BOARD already uses the design of having users mouse over an object and then see additional options related to that particular object. I would like the ability to add options or actions to particular objects on a screen. Maybe this is already possible, but I don’t know how to do it. If that’s the case, please let me know…

Transporting Entity Templates
Version 10.1.4 of the Transporter supports the transportation entity templates, but not formatting changes. New entity templates are transported. The support for entity templates feels incomplete without the ability to transport formatting changes. Se we have to continue manual transportation of template changes by copying…

Save Capsule as - Copy Folder
Hi Guys, Many times I had to copy one or more capsules both in my local environment or from the production to the development one. As yuo can image, big applications can have more than just few capsules. Unfortunately actually it is not possible to copy more than one capsule at time. Therefore my proposal is to add an…

Cube Title as a Combobox
When I view the structure and versions of a cube, the text box can be changed to change the name of the cube. This is helpful when setting up new cubes, but doesn’t facilitate reviewing multiple cubes quickly. I would like to see a selection arrow at the right end of the text box that allows a user to select a different…

Export Data to Excel in Flattening mode for Web client
Hi everyone, The title says it all, the "flattening" mode is very useful for users and it's not available in the web client. Current issue: * In the Web environment I want to provide users with both a nice visual (through a collapse presentation) and the possibility to export and reuse properly the data ("flatten groups"…

Service Windows / Maintenance
During the lifecycle of one BOARD project, we may experience the need to execute critical actions on database structure that require the exclusive access. This means we have to be sure that Users cannot access to the system and/or execute any kind of actions, especially run procedures, data entry, ... This becomes more…

Turn off 'Alerts' on down totals/group by
Sometimes the 'alert' on a total line doesn't make sense, and sometimes when a Dataview is collapsed and it lists ALL alerts on the 'group by' heading it become unreadable. It would be handy if we could control these to elect not to show alerts on totals and group by headings. There currently is no work around other than…

Home Screen choice straight through to capsule -Web
In respect to web. (I am aware this is possible on the standard client) There are particular user communities that don't need to navigate through favourites, folders, capsules to complete or see their task, examples are users who return to the same information and indeed that might be their sole use. As we grow BOARD in an…

Save Current Selection upgrade
Hello, i usually find myself in this situation and was hoping this idea might be helpful for everyone * What is your idea? Add a flag "Share" to the "Save Current Selection" action in order to allow this saving to survive at the end of a procedure and to be recycled in other procedures. * What specific problem are you…

"Hide Based On" in Layout block
Similar to the 'Locked by' option within a block, it would be handy if we also had the ability to 'Hide based on' for a block. So that if the 'based on' block is 1 this block would be hidden (as opposed to 'locked'). This would enable for a more simple hide/show of blocks in a dataview etc. This can already be done with…

Dynamic Selection within Layout
A good improvement would be the chance to set up a dynamic selection within Board Layout. This way you should be able to create different infromation scenarios in the same screen according to cubes parameters or current date.

Downtotals without grand total line
Hi everyone, As previously discussed in a forum thread with Gabriele Gallo and Paul Stegmann and in the Board support with Antonio Speca, I found myself several times in a situation where I needed downtotals in a layout, but wanted to hide the grand total line. Solutions already suggested: - disabling downtotals (not…

Aligning Screen objects over multiple screens
It would be nice to have the possibility to align a screen object within screen A with a screen object within screen B. At the moment it is only possible to align screen object within the same screen. Alignment over multiple screens would make it much easier to achieve consistency regarding placement of pagers, selectors,…

Drill Peek
When navigating a grid dataset, we already have the option to make each cell a button. From that button, we can drill to a screen or protocol for more information. Doing so opens the target in either the same tab or a new tab, changing the focus to the new screen. I think it would be nice to provide a peak tool, such that…

Web chat users groups
Hi all, it would be useful to create user groups to allow the division of users in their own areas. In addition to these groups it should then be possible to manage a sort of security to indicate to which groups each user should have access. This idea could be useful on large environments with a lot of users in order to…

Cubes tab to show Cube Entities and Sparse Structure
In bigger projects where you have a large number of cubes, it is often required to review cubes structure. i.e. Cube Entities or Sparsity. At the moment, the only way to do this is to click on Cube and open Cube structure window. It would be nice to have another column on "Cubes" tab showing Sparse structure and Entities…

Search field on cubes
Hi, it would be very useful if you could add a search field on the database cubes. On very large databases, it is impossible to find a specific cube easily. It is good practice to create meaningful groups and sort the cubes in alphabetical order, but sometimes this behavior is not enough. Thank you, Francesco

Copy/Paste Multiple Procedure Actions/Groups
I have often found that I've needed to build procedures with multiple groups that each hold five or six actions each. These actions have the same logic aside for a few small changes, such as five dataflows that use the same calculation but the destination cube is different for each one. It would be great to have the…

IP Address in Logs
Hi, it would be great to have the IP Address from where every board user is connecting to the Board environment in our logs files. the "login.log" file in the dataset\log\users folders currently shows the name of the machine (host) if the user is connecting through the Board Client but only the name of the Board Server if…

Use another block as value for alerts in charts
It would be great if you could setup an alert in a chart based on another block just like you can with dataviews.

Edit Font Colours where Alerts used
Currently it is not possible (as far as I can see) to edit the colour of your font if you are using a block alert. In the example below I cannot change the font colour from black. Sometimes it is desirable to be able to change this for best visibility against the background alerts. The same issue also applies to a label.…

Keep dimensional colours in Portfolio Object
Hi Community, I often have been asked this question in A&R-Trainings: Wouldn't it be possible to keep the colour used be the System to distinguish between dimensional values in a Portfolio Object if the selection is limited to one of those values, only? Example from the Training: The sales persons can be distinguished in…

Filter by Column
It would really be useful to be able to filter by columns the same way we can filter by criteria on the row. "Show All" works in some cases but not all. Compounded by the fact that switch row columns is not available in HTML5, sometimes there is simply no workaround to have charts with more complex filtering…

Increase max Number of Cubes
Hi, in BOARD you can create max. 999 Cubes, which is enogh in many projects. But we're facing the problem, that in some bigger Projects we're using a lot tec-Cubes and so it is sometimes hard to be within this limit.So it would be great, if this limits get extended in a future release. Examples for Tec-Cubes (mostly driven…

HYPERLINK ACTIVE WHEN DISPLAYED AS A TEXT BLOCK OR TEXT CUBE IN A DATAVIEW
Hi community, I would like to suggest the following: I think it would be useful to allow for hyperlink activation and use when a url is stored in a text infocube and displayed in a dataview. This would help * As an alternative to storing a document into a BLOB cube (which might sometime increase exponentially in size) *…

CREATE A (SLIDING) CONTAINER TO PUT FILTERS/SELECTORS/INFO

ADD "TREEVIEW" OBJECT

MAINTENANCE MODE
Hello, i usually find myself in this situation and was hoping this idea might be helpful for everyone * What is your idea? Create a “maintenance mode” in BOARD.
