Interactive selections: adding a text
My idea concerns interactive selections. Indeed, in the actual system, it is not possible to specify anything as a sentence to guide users as we want them to check data. Thus, what I thought would be nice to add to the software is : the possibility to write a sentence just above the data proposed. In this way, if we want…

Select multiple members by text string
Hi All, currently, if you want to select a greater number of entity members on a screen (for example a list of 50 specific articles), you have to click on a selector, search for one, select it, search for the next one, select… and so on. In a few projects now, users have asked if they could enter the desired members as a…

Add sum of remaining values in addition to total
When filtering the layout by let's say the top customers, I'd like to know how much am I missing. Right now using "Keep Totals" I can infer the rest of the values. But that is a tedious task, best done in excel. I'd like to have an option "add remaining sum" that would create a new row above the totals' row. The content…

Substitution formula in the data reader protocol definition
It could be useful for developers to have substitution formulas recognized on the path of a data reader. This could help particularly in two situations: 1) If we copy a database on the same machine and rename it, there is no need of changing manually all data readers paths 2) When we want to load all files within the same…

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

PDF Export - Suppress blank pages
Issue: When exporting reports using the Export PDF feature, subscription, or broadcasting, there are blank pages that the customer doesn't want. Proposed Solution: Add an option in the export PDF setup to automatically suppress blank pages - like the "Preview page" and "Select" ones. In one of our cases, for example, this…

ALM enhancement to update connection details with SAP DataReaders
When deploying a DataReader that uses the connection type SAP via Board SAP Connector the URL to connect to the source is not updated accordingly. Although the connection string looks correct the process is executed on a different server (QSS in this case). You'll have to manually change each DataReader (adding a field to…

Scheduled Capsule Backup to Z Drive
Hi All, I understood from support it is now possible to schedule snapshot of capsules in Board but still it is not possible to create scheduled capsule backups to the Azure Z drive. I would like to propose to have the possibility to create a procedure that performs capsule backups to the Z drive as this is the place where…

Automation possibilty for "Sparsity Optimization"
We very much appreciate the new sparsity optimization feature that makes manual export/import obsolete. It would be great if this function could also be automated. There are use cases in which plan data is cleared or zeroed out again, for example, but the sparsity remains full. Therefore, it would be very helpful if the…

Process Debugger - Open Data View
Hello, In BOARD10.5, inside of the procedure debugger I could just click "Open Data View" for the step that I was on. Now - I have to either manually rebuild the data view that is being processed, or go into the procedure and copy the layout. Can we please have the ability back to simply open the data view for the step we…

Highlighted Selector
Hi All, the idea is quite simple but I think it is very useful. At the moment when there are, within a screen, several selectors on the same tree it is difficult to understand on which selector a selection has been made as the selection expands correctly itself on all the entities of the tree. An alert/symbol would be…

To make it easier to apply brand colours to reports. Also, by offering users a…

Capability to stop big-queries
Currently it is not possible to check all Board Users actions (especially with hundreds of board users working with Board Win Client, Board Web, Board Office Add-in) and the "row upper limit" is not enough because - example - is not checking "how many blocks" the user is inseriting in the Board Layout. There is a very high…

Capsule transporter / Diff tool
Hi, 1. What is your idea? Add a tool, similar to the Transporter, to analyze differences between two versions of a capsule 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? It often happens that we need to double check the differences between two versions of the…

Add an 'Exclude' to the select tab of a data view
Would like to be able to exclude using the select on a data view, similar to the way you can exclude from a screen. Business requirement - We have a request to show storm data separate from non-storm data on the same screen. Ideally, I could put two dataviews on a screen with different selection on each. Unfortunately I…

B10.5/11 Wish - Click to add Entity to Data Reader
Hi, currently you have to drag every entity one by one to the blue mapping area in a data reader. As you can not drop it anywhere else this is really not necessary and quite time consuming for large data readers. It would improve development speed a lot if you could just double click / check mark (like in win client) an…

@Selection by tree
Hi all, Context In our current situation, very often I need to display the current Selection in the screen, so I use @Selection function in a general manner. In some other cases I want to display a specific one, so I use the @Entity. However sometimes I need to display the selection for a given tree (that can have 30…

Among the existing configurable objects of the Toolbox, I would like to suggest another one which is the TREEVIEW. With this object hierarchical structures could be displayed graphically and automatically synchronized when a…

Debugging training
Hi all, In many occasions new BOARD developers/consultants don't start a project from scratch, they start from an already built solution and they need to solve issues or to evolve it. From my point of view, the "debugging" is as important as the construction, so I ask for an specific training in the academy with the…

RUNNING TASK : MORE POSSIBILITIES TO STOP A TASK
Some tasks are launched and, as an administrator, you can't stop them. It's very annoying, especially as there's no explanation. So you may have to open a ticket Would it be possible to have clear information about why a running task cannot be stopped? And perhaps have the means to stop it anyway, knowing the consequences?

Unbalanced Hierarchy Selectors consistency
Currently the Unbalanced hierarchy selector is not consistent across the different ways to make selections. On the normal filter you are able to select descendants, however if you are using an interactive selection step in a procedure it is not possible to select descendants. It is also not possible to select descendants…

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…
