FYTD in Dynamic Select
The Idea. To allow a FYTD to date option in a dynamic select. Why. Currently a dynamic select allows the user to be able to select the YTD based on a cube or the current date. For financial reporting purposes, I believe a FYTD would be more useful so having this option would be nice. Current process. Using a series of…
multiple entity selection box
A new object would be great - a kind of container where it's possible adding more than one entity for selection. with all current available selection-objects it's only possible defining one entity. we do have currently screens with more than 20 selection-entities - and we are grouping the selectors via panels... but this…

MENU TRIGGER
Idea: allow developer to add 'trigger' or 'procedure' to the menu object that is run each time a menu item is selected/clicked. Why?: Currently the menu object is very limiting. You can only apply selection, or not apply selection. That essentially assumes that EVERY screen you wish to go to needs the identical selection…

Dynamic ranking functions in dataview layout
At the moment the ranking functions are computed once for the dataview and only recomputed when the screen is refreshed. I'd like to have them dynamic. They should be updated whenever the sorting is changed by the user. So the cumulated values are computed as expected by the user. That would also allow finding out whether…
I want to write a calculation formula in Excel
It is possible to add a formula to Excel temporarily, but if you write to Board, the number will be overwritten in the cell containing the formula and the formula will disappear. I understand this is a specification. We correspond it by using macros and "Use Excel Formulas". Is there any other way?
Input with the French numeric keypad : revert dot to comma

Visualize procedures with breakpoints
Hello, during development I use breakpoints regularly, and sometimes if I got locked out I forget removing some of them. Until a user calls for help. Can board mark procedures with active breakpoint in red to allow a faster identification? Regards, Walter
Export Daten mit Info der Kopf- und Dataview-/Grafikobjekt Selektion
Hello everyone, often data still has to be exported. However, the selection of the data is not automatically specified. Therefore we always copy them manually from a label (@Selection). I think it is important that the selection is automatically transferred. For example, the header selection could be in cell A1 of the…
More flexibility for entity members with rules
Hello all, We would like to have more flexibility to use the entity members calculated thanks to rules. Today we need to put them in line (and in last) to have the calculation where as it display 0. It would be good if the calculation works in column, or works even if the entity is not in line or column. It's very annoying…
BOARD Cloud - Admin Portal - Enable Schedule for Services Restart
In BOARD Cloud platform, it's not possible to schedule Restart of Services. It could be nice to be able to schedule the restart of Board Engine service and Board Web service. As well as being able to schedule the "Unload" (of a DataModel in RAM). These schedules would ensure to have a Re-set of application on a regular…
Overlaying mask
Currently, a mask is applied underneath the screen so any object in the screen is rendered on top of the mask. Moreover, it doesn't allow to use layouts. It would be useful if to have layouts in masks and to have a new mask class that overlays the screen. In my current project, we are managing the user access to certain…
Increase max Number of Cubes
Hi, in BOARD you can create max. 999 Cubes, which is enogh in many projects. But we're facing the problem, that in some bigger Projects we're using a lot tec-Cubes and so it is sometimes hard to be within this limit.So it would be great, if this limits get extended in a future release. Examples for Tec-Cubes (mostly driven…
hiding parts of chart legend
We are having "technical" cubes/formulars in charts for design aspects, which are not solvable via available settings --> e.g. fixed zero-line and max in a chart showing net sales per month for py, act and bud. And these two parts are listed in the legend which is a bit irritating for the user --> therefore it would be…

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…
Images/pictures from URL in dataview
I want to use dynamically pictures from URL sources in screens, dataviews, label. The dataview could profit a lot from it - right now pictures used in the Column Algorithm can only reference images out of the capsule. If URLs could be used as a source, much more dynamism would be possible, also leading to leaner capsule.…
