Extracting list of cubes via Entity analysis
Currently the list of cubes for a particular entity can be extracted through Impact Analysis which only provides the cube name and not other details. If the user is able to extract the list of cubes via Entity Analysis (by clicking on Go to Cubes), it will provide details such as Group name, Data Type, no. of Versions and…

Nexel configuration storage - Procedures
Where Nexel is used in a procedure it would be helpful if Board made it mandatory to store the Nexel configuration - or enabled developers to see the Nexel configuration. Board's 'Best Practices' document goes through the need to store it clearly (link below) - but it would I feel be justified to make this embedded in the…

Auto-Adjust Column Width on Double Click in Design Mode
When modifying a layout in design mode, enable users to double-click on a column header to automatically adjust the column width to the maximum space occupied by the largest value within that column.

Pagination for API-Queries
API-Queries are a great way to expose Data to other Board-Systems or third-party-applications. Big Data-Sets could end in Time-Out. It would be helpfull to cut big datasets in smaller pieces with pagination. Please have a look on Pagination on REST API call Procedure step.

Allow for filtering in dataviews to work alongside aggregated functions such as 'distinct count'
Hi! Currently I believe that all filters in a data view are disregarded when a cube in the data view has the aggregation function - 'distinct count' enabled. We have found a work around (as we were using this to find averages), however this functionality would still be very useful in the future and in other use cases.…

If a user does not login for a specified time, their account is disabled automatically
In the IDP we have a max number of licences. In order to better manage those licences, could we have an automated feature whereby the user is disabled (in the user profile in the IDP there is a disable tick box) if the user has not logged in for a specified time. For example, if the user doesn't login for 12 months, the…

Do not replicate entities when we flatten the entities by row
When we have multiple entities by row and we flatten at a certain level, we would like not to replicate the members of an entity and merge the cells with this entity, as in the image attached.

Extract/Import Trees Unsorted
Hello, I'm sure any admin of BOARD has faced the issue needing to refresh Development Cubes/Entities with new info from Production. I'm sad to say that this process is FAR less straightforward than it would seem. It is very frustrating to always have to follow the steps of : A) Remove all sorting of entities (Production)…

New multiple entities by row option: no totals in separate row, only on expanded groups
Hi, I would like to be able to remove the totals when I display multiple entities by rows. Currently, I can activate the setting to have them visible in expanded groups, however, I still have the totals. I feel that these extra rows take up a lot of space that doesn't have to be displayed, and it would be nice to get rid…

The option "data" but in the other way. Have a special parameter in the layout to hide a column but let the user unhide if he wants. With the actual option, we need to put all the columns, wth this one we will be able to display the main one but let the user choose to add more if he wants (without going in the layout)

Event-driven Subscribe and SendTo functions
Hi all, We are currently analyzing the usefulness of the Subscribe and SendTo functionalities for our users, but the same question comes back every time regarding scheduling. Indeed our data is published monthly (e.g. Sales at D+2, OPEX at D+8, Allocation results at D+10) but in practice it is not a fixed day in the month.…

Web brower usage statistics
It would be very useful if Board could track which web browsers are end-users using to access the application and display those statistics (e.g. 45% of the users are accessing via Chrome, 15% of the users are accessing via Edge, etc). Out of the box report, or even logs with this information would be great!

UX Improvement: Search function in layout editor
Hello, I would like to share this very simple idea that - I think - could improve a lot the UX, in particular for the developer. In the layout editor, there is the possibility to search among cubes, entities and more. This is extremely useful. But it would be even more useful if it wouldn't refresh everytime one drag&drop…

Screen Aspect Ratio in Board 11
We see an option to set screen to Aspect Ratio in Board 11. Currently it seems like the aspect ratio is not taking the top ribbon into account to size the screen area/dimensions. Hence the user needs to scroll, in case of fit to width or there is empty space in the sides, in case of fit to single page mode. I propose two…

YTD | MTD Cumulation
There should be a solution for following problem: Currently I have a workaround with a procedure that autoselects the months from January to the current month of the year and another procedure that does the same only for one (current) month. It would be great if we had the possibilty to set a YTD cumulation for a month…

To be able to place page breaks
Customer wants to know if we can put in enhancement to be able to manipulate where page breaks go when printing from the web. Customer adds: We are getting pummeled by the fact that we cannot get something out of Board in a usable format in either PDF, Word or even Excel which could be distributed or printed easily without…

Inline Menu Back for B11
B11 has brought many improvements in terms of ease of use and navigation, however with regards to the menu option on the top i am missing the inline menu. I am guessing there is many options and with B11 there is a fitting issue, but in this case maybe we should be able to choose which areas we wish to have in an inline…

allow 2 descriptions/ names by entity name
Actually its only possible to create 1 description of an entity. And the same name will be displayed for the user for example in the selector (there are a few other examples like this) In this case we have to use a workaround and "hide" the name of the selector with a label Most of the entities an especially hierarchies…

reverse dynamic selection
I noticed that while in the select of an entity you can choose whether to make a selection or an exclusion, using the dynamic selection on a cube, you can not exclude what is in that cube directly from the select. It would seem more convenient to have this option in the select, aware that the problem can be easily solved…

Alerts in GroupBy (WEB)
That would be nice if we could see a one single colour alert on GroupBys instead of some portions of different colours depending on the behaviour of what happens inside the GroupBy. Nowadays, only Circle option works on Web GroupBys. Figures, Blocks or BlocksOnly options don't seem to work for GroupBys on Web. You will…

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…

Sequential order of page numbers starting on a number other than "1"
Currently in Board, we are unable to start the page (when printing to PDF) on any number other than “Page 1” while having the remaining pages follow in sequential order. It would be helpful if we could specify for the page to start on '5' (for example) and the remainder automatically follow in sequential order (5,6,7,8).

Default "Export Selections"
When exporting data to Microsoft Excel, it would be very beneficial to be able to default the "Export Selections" field to be automatically checked for all users. Users often forget to manually select "Export Selections", and as a result the parameters do not show up on the Excel export. The "Standard Microsoft Excel…

When trying to reverse-engineer ETL flows developed by someone else or to analyze the impact of a change to your data model, you are not able to reconstruct the full workflow as the temporary cubes are not present in the impact analysis. Please include them. In general, the impact analysis is very heavy to load and on our…
