Mandatory dimensions / consistency checks in quick layout
Context - When designing data entry screens, we are often in the situation where we want to give a maximum flexibility to the end user to choose the most relevant axis. Quick layout is great for that. Issue - However we often have the situation where at least one dimension is mandatory, otherwise figures don't make sense.…

Delete inaccessible data model command for Board Cloud Administrator
When a data model becomes inaccessible (e.g., due to data corruption), the data model "Delete" command on the GUI is greyed out. This prevents the creation of a new data model with the same name, when there are no usable backups that can be restored. Currently, the only option for Board Cloud users is to create a Support…

change table/dataview from pivot to flat list
We are regularly getting the question from users if it's possible to change the standard BOARD pivoted table to a flat list. I know this functionality also from other BI-Tools and it would be great if the user can decide via dataview-menu if he wants to have a flat list shown. Default can be still the pivoted view, but the…

Add information note in Data source connection creation
In System Admin portal, a connection should be created to link the Data Pipeline and Board. It turns out that for the alias of the connection, a maximum of 32 digits is allowed. It would be helpful if it would either not let you save the connection if the alias is too long, or at least show an information about this below.…

MS Word Add-In Lacks the Formatting Functionality Present in Board Web
During the development of a report using the Microsoft Word Add-In, it has come to our attention that some of the formatting functionality that is present in Board web is not offered by the add-in. Border thickness cannot be configured in the add-in, but it can be in Board web. Unfortunately, any native MS word formatting…

Write-API for Data-Models to enable Infrastructure as Code
Currently, all elements are manually updated via the UI. However, we would rather like to have a possibility to create entities, kubes, relationships etc. with an API. This would enable us also to provision our data models using infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform). As e.g. Terraform can also be used to provision…

GeoMap improvements
compared to geo maps in other bi tools (Qlik, Tableau etc.) - the BOARD object is way to clumsy and underperforming. More design options like have a kind of head map per country/region instead of bubbles. Also more available maps (not only google maps and one other) would be great.

Button: add rollover color for Font
Hi, simple as that: as you could change the rollover color for the background of a button already, it would be great to also add rollover colors for the text / font. This would help avoid using several layers for the same effect. Thanks! Mads

Horizontal selector should not waste space
Horizontal selectors should not waste space by adding so much free space left and right to the element name. Brings up scroll bars where none is needed.

Flat data table for enduser
There should be a possibility for endusers to adjust a data table to a flat data table by theirselves. Due to the quick layout (and the possibility to drag several entities in the rows) it might be useful to adjust a "normal" table to a flat data table in play mode for a better overview.

Queque for parallel Rest API Calls
Here is an additional feature I like to suggest: Consider a procedure P that uses Rest API Calls to start 10 procedures in parallel. I wish there was a comfortable way of telling Procedure P that the 10 procedures called via Rest API are finished such that P waits automatically until all 10 procedures are finished and…

REST API - Execute Procedure with Selection
Selections are an elementary concept for controlling procedures in Board. When starting a procedure from a screen, a start selection is usually passed with it. We need this possibility also, if we start a procedure over the rest Api. The selection could be passed in the body as JSON. Currently only the database name and…

Annotation of Entities, Cubes, Data Reader and other Database structures
I wish there was a way to annotate entities, cubes, data readers, and other database structures as there is for procedure steps. This would enrich the in-system documentation for developers and could eliminate the need for out-of-system technical documentation. Documentation would thus be made faster and more efficient.

Defining Temporary cubes "on the fly"
When I write a procedure, I find it tedious to define a temporary cube when I want to implement/change a data flow. In particular I dislike that I have to leave the procedure, define the temporary cube and open the procedure again. Please implement the following feature: In the window where one can define a new data flow…

Dear all, Since the integration of UnBalanced Hierarchies, a world opened to us! Including the dependancies selections (Leaf, Descendants, children, etc…) of the UBH in a DataView. However, these dependancies can NOT be used in Procedures. It could be usefull to easily calculate the weight of a member Vs its direct parent.…

Warning Message in the Board Application when Max Item number has reached
Hi Team, could we have some sort of a warning message or a notification (in the Board application UI) when any of the entities are at 100% or have crossed the 100% saturation. There have been instances in projects when the entities have crossed beyond 100% like at 120% and the implementation team or the users are unaware…

Drill-down feature on a chart
The idea is to enhance interaction with charts, enabling navigation of the entity tree. As a front end user, I would like to be able to expand (and also aggregate) on the default dimension set in the graph. In order to give an idea of the use cases, I am thinking at this kind of competitor's feature: power BI drill down on…

Description field for Cubes and Entities
In the datamodel, there should be a field "description" for each cube and entity. This would help documenting the purpose of each cube and entity. This would help the maintenance and the transfer of knowledge. for any developer, the good practice is to write comments in the code. This should be the same for Board:…
