Improvement of layout configuration - structure defintion for rows and columns
Hello community, in our reporting process we are usually - in a "standard data view setup" - using the "Key-Figure-Entity" that is displayed by row.

Export to XLSX - Overcome limitations of layout export with huge datasets
Idea: We use the export functionality of Board intensively.

Allow Temporary Cubes to be used in If Then Else action
Quite often specific cubes are created to hold the results of a logical test that can be performed through dataflow. This cube would then be used in an If The Else procedure action to determine the actions to run based on the outcome of the test. Currently, the If Then Else action cannot use temporary cubes saved in the…

Customise session timeout value

Massive reporting: export looping through entity items
A common challenge using Board is to export from Board to other media formats (like pdf, xlsx, pptx, ...) especially when the output must be "one file per each item of an entity". Call it a loop through entity items or "massive reporting". When setting print options in the Board screen it's possible to use "paged by…

Itemized Capsule Transporter Package
Hi Board Community, Currently, when transporting capsules from one environment to another (e.g., Sandbox to Production), we can only select the capsules themselves in the Transporter Package.

Data Entry should accept "<" and "~" without doubleclicking into the cell first
Hi all, this is a small request but currently if you select a cell and enter a number, letter or operator you can write directly into the cell without doubleclicking it first. This does not work with special characters like "<" and "~" (which just subtracts the number). Support says this is by design, but I don't see a…

Hi, I wish to have the split&splat functionality broadened, so it is not only able to split values according to the existing proportions, but have the ability to repeat the value, or to spread it evenly onto all leaf elements that are open for data entry. It would be excellent if developers could set what kind of…

Database security: Cube visibility
In the "Database Security" section, we have noticed that if we use cube visibility to define user action perimeters, it works everywhere except in dataflows. This behavior, despite being documented in the manual, seems quite illogical because if the functionality helps in profiling security profiles in a faster and more…
