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…

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.

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…

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.…

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…

Datetime / Timestamp type cube
My idea Add a new type of cube : Datetime that store date and the time! Basically, it's the same as type date but support n decimal places to handle times like in Excel. Use case (exemple) : In my current project, users need to view the exact time when a task in the workflow has been completed and/or when a coworker has…

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…

Web GUI for Server Config and Adula Params
Hi All, We have the following situation: You can edit the functions od BOARD and board server via the serverconfig GUI, via boardengine.exe.config (XML), via server_config_v2.xml (XML) and via adulaparams.xml (XML). The current situation brings some challenges: * There is no GUI for BoardEngine.exe.config and…

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

Add layout to the Menu object
Dear community, I believe it would be a great addition to Board if the Menu object was improved to allow layouts to be configured on it. Not to display information, but for the layout's blocks to be used in the Dynamic Options of the object. This addition would allow developers to customize the Board solutions, for example…

Improve folder/capsule display in navigation
Dear community, In the latest version Board 14.1, the names of the folders and capsules in the navigation pane can only reach a length of 28 approx. making the rest of the name not visible. The folder/capsule tile has enough space to display the full name, but seems not to be using the whole space of the tile, leaving a…

Add Smart import to cube analysis and Impact analysis
A simple idea this time : Currently, there is no reference to Smart Imports when a cube make cube analysis or Impact analysis in the DB. We can see the cube is included on a screen, but no reference about where. Sometimes, the loaded cube is also displayed on a dataview and then it becomes hard to see the difference. Would…

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…

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: Additional output/storage formats for REST API call (e.g. temporary cube)
The only output format (right now) for an REST API call is to save it to an CSV file. This CSV file can be used to load an temporary cube. A direct load (without saving the file to disk) into a cube / temporary cube would be a great enhancement.

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…

Collapse unbalanced hierarchies entities in dataview
Hello, With unbalanced hierarchies entities, it is possible to collapse (more or less) in selectors, but not in dataviews directly. Would it be possible to add the collased functionnality in dataviews for the next releases please? Thanks
