Allow parallel use of Board Web and Office AddIn
1. What is your idea? Allow parallel use of Board Web and the Board Office AddIn. If you try to do this in parallel (open up your browser and use Excel with other layouts), you will receive an error message ("logged in elsewhere"). 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would…

Comment on cubes
Hi all, I'd like to have the possibility to insert a comment on each cube (and maybe entities), mainly in order to clarify their use in the database and their content. It would be enough to reproduce the possibility already available for the step of a procedure. This becomes crucial when dealing with large database, where…

Adding entity variables to pdf / printable export
Hey guys, I have customers that are exporting a lot of reports for their customer as well. So it would be good to write down the selected entities inside the name of the pdf file, so they dont have to do it all the time for themselves. Greetings Julian

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.…

Extract all Cubes – Filter Cubes by Entity
Description In Board it is possible to extract all cubes with procedure step “Extract all cubes”. It would be great to have an option to filter the cubes by entity or list of entities. For example I have a database with 1500 cubes. 600 cubes use the entity Planversion. I like to extract only all cubes with this entity. Use…

Cube description
add the possibility to have a description for each cube in the Cube-Admin section. Description should also be visible to users.

Procedures log
Hi all, Nowadays the database log has all the steps done in a procedure, but there is no information about the procedure that is running. It would be very interesting to have a new column with the procedure information about every step. With this we could: 1- Filter the "database log" by procedure 2- Win time searching in…

Translation of screen folders (Localization)
Hi all, we're working with the Localization feature which works great for our purpose as we could translate entities, screen texts, screen names, and entity elements. However, as I was told by the support it is currently not possible to translate screen folders. In our case, as we work with screen folders in the menus,…

Usage of Temporary Cubes in Procedures for Selections
Hi all, It would be great to be able to use a Temporary Cube (created in the procedure) for a selection or select entity based on cube. Best regards Atilla

Allow temporary cubes to be used in IfThenElse
In Board 11.2 the new functionality of temporary cube is available to allow intermediate calculation to be made and stored during a dataflow execution. However these temporary cubes are not available in the IfThenElse functionality. It would be a good addition to Board to allow these temporary cubes to be considered in…

Allow developer to 'size' the pie, or take into consideration if Labels are on when setting size.
It would be good if the developer could control the pie size in the web like you could in the client, or if the size of the pie took into consideration if 'labels/outside' is set. Why? Because in the new web pie chart object labels don't necessarily show/appear as the sizing is incorrect..and it is impossible to make them…

Save / Restore Screen selection
Summary: An easy way to store my current screen selection and restore it at any time in any screen. As is: Currently, we can get this functionality by storing the screen selection in cubes by user and dimension I want to store. For complex apps, It means that I need to create a large list of cubes to save each dimension…

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…

Enhance the DataView Layout SORT function
Currently DataView layouts can only sort by ONE block/entity. It would be helpful to be able to apply a sort using several blocks. For example, where a client's data has 3 levels - eg Site, Floor, and Work Area and you wish the report to sort by Site, then Floor then Work Area descriptions, and the date the Work Area was…

Drill to Window/Popup
When I drill on a DataView a popup opens. When I drill to a screen a new screen opens (either in the same tab or an additional tab). It would be useful to be able to drill to a window so my new screen appears on top of the existing screen, but as a window. This way I can move the window around and still view the screen I…

ToolTip on Row heading
It would be good if there was a way to get a tooltip to show on the Row heading column. There are times where the tooltip to be displayed relates to the entire row and not just a particular block, in these instances it would be very useful to have the tooltip show on the row heading/entity. At the moment the only options I…

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.…

Impact Analysis - Data Lifecycle
If incorrect or no data is displayed in an existing report, a developer must find the cause. This can be very time-consuming, especially if the database is very large and or was developed by other colleagues. The aim of this feature is to support the developer in exactly this search. A first starting point is the impact…

VARIABLE TAB NAME
It would be great if we could make the name of a tab or column heading variable by adding an @. This would make it possible to limit the number of tabs while being very clear about what's in the tab or column

Hidden Cubes visible for Developer
To hide Cubes for User's is a great function to limit the visible Cubes in Data view layout and Office Add-in. But unfortunately, the Cubes are also hidden for the Developer. Suggestion Make it possible to hide Cube's for different Roles. Add another column (green area) to control visibility for the Admin/Developer.

Allow for the naming of files downloaded from Board
When a user clicks the download button, the downloaded file has a filename based on the screen title (I think). But could you please allow for the downloaded filename to be configured with variables. This would allow for the filename to be more meaningful.

Possibility to schedule a task several time par day
Today the lowest level of recurrence for a scheduled task is the day, so it is quite hard and boring to schedule a task every hour, or every 15 minutes for ex. It would be great to have the possibility to schedule a task several time par day.

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!

metadata-driven modeling with BAML (Board Application Markup Language)
This feature is inspired by BIML (Business Intelligence Markup Language). To develop a board-application you don’t need coding skills. That is really great for beginners! To develop a board-application is mostly to create or alter meta-data. For example create a new entity. Give them a name, group, id length, desc length…

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…

Enhance user experience by adding search functionality
Sometimes, when working with databases providing more than just a couple cubes or entities, finding the cube or entity you're looking for in the drop-down lists can be pretty cumbersome when no search function is available. Consider this example from the action library for calling a procedure If, however, developers would…

Corporate Identity Designer
In Board 10 we had the possibility to set Corporate specific colors and default formatting of objects. This was part of the System area "Corporate Identity Designer". This was a very handy functionality that should be re-instated. Too much time is being lost in formatting. Thanks.

(Git) Versioncontrol of Board-Database-Schema
Problem to solve Currently, it is a difficult task to carefully document a database schema. Often this task is postponed until later or is completely forgotten. Even if there is documentation, it is often not available centrally in one place for all project participants, but distributed in different places with different…

Dynamic Header Dataview
Hi! At the moment we are able to view entity-selections in a lable. It be a huge relief to use the function within the dataview as dynamic headers instead of using ctrl-cubes.

Add an Error handling group in procedure
I wish there was a special group named something like "CatchError" to catch error (i.e. like in datareader) and handle gracefully errors with a message box for instance Currently, users are left on their own to figure which step crash (since you have no way to handle error, you most likely will run the remain step anyway.…
