SubHub : Sync to data model : add option to trigger a procedure
The idea is to be able to trigger a procedure per data model once the synchronisation of the entities and relationship are done. Often you need to do some calculation based on user Role or metadata to account for the changes, give him access to workflow he previously didn't have to. And at the moment you have to rely on…

Extract and Reload Bookmarks by Users, in order to keep them after clearing and reloading Entities
I have this requirement on Bookmarks from a big account. They are happy to use bookmarks since it is a big upgrade in their daily work compared their previous solution. The big problem here is that they need to clear and reload their MD's because it's a FMCG companies so their MD's have a high rotation. When they do that…

PRESENTATIONS FORMAT

Procedure Execution Flow - Action Status

"Analysis" For Data Readers and Procedures

I am referring to the sections that appear when you click on an entity in the data model, that shows Cubes, Sparsity, Data Flow, Screens, Procedures, Rules. Something similar for…

Suggestion Make it possible to hide Cube's for different Roles. Add another column (green area) to control visibility for the Admin/Developer.

Hi, I was creating a Data Reader with an ETL in the Validation Condition and wanted to scan across the file to view another row that had a different "Stock Source" to confirm that my formula was working correctly, but I had to manually flick between the rows. It'd be nice to, e.g., input row "200" as a text field in the…

Object names for Panel & Tab
In the Screens Object list, it would be helpful if you could see the name of the Panel & Tab. In this case, to figure out which Panel you want to work with, you would need to count the panels to figure out its position. Linking the Panel/Tab name would be helpful.

Add ability to multi-select columns in Block Format
Block formatting individual columns is a very time consuming job, and this would allow you to speed up the process a lot faster. You can currently multi select on the different rows, but it'd be very beneficial to CTRL+Left Click on the columns to format them together too. There are data views with over 100+ columns here…

Use of Rules in Layouts
The limitation by using rules in layouts should be elimiated since it limits the use of quick layout massively. In our case we calculate a %-KPI which can not be safed in a cube and must be calculated on the fly. Using the quick layout and having the rule set on the cube not only leads to not calclulated KPI´s but also…

We have external reps we want to demo to and potentially at meetings of peers and conferences, but don't want to show customers names, group…

Allow data entry with selection on layout
Hi Community Members, although I am quite aware of certain "known limitations", there is one huge wish for future versions: It is not so uncommon that layouts with data entry enabled should be restricted to certain entity members, while the rest of the screen should still show all of them. In order to achieve this, a…
