Hierarchy of entities in the select tab
Hi all, I highly suggest to change the views of the select (by screen). Now it is by design so users can’t see the hierarchy of entities like in relationships section. It would be great to open the select in the screen and see the real hierarchy and not seeing entity by design. Thanks! Valentina

new object ADVANCED TIME SELECTOR
Idea: Add an object called “Advanced Time Selector”. This object is composed by 3 parts: the “standard selector”, the “dynamic selector” and the “calendar”, offering to user a flexible way to apply selections on time entities.

Rest API call manual script
With the new 'Rest API call' action, it is possible to connect and download data from a public or authorized API into a CSV/JSON file through a list of mapped parameters.

Notify if max item number reached
In desktop client, there used to be a pop-up message appearing in case a max item number was reached and that the Administrator was to be contacted.

In Excel there is the useful function that a filter can be placed over the columns with the help of which the user can sort in ascending or descending order. He or she can also set value filters there, for example, that only rows larger > or smaller <…

Sorting Rows - Keep Top setting for more than one dimension
We have several requirements with keep top setting AND showing more that one dimension in the dataview. It seems like this function only works as long as there is only one dimension in the rows. E.g. I'd like to have the Top 25 Materials sorted on Sales-Cube desc. on a material level - and as second information I would…

change table/dataview from pivot to flat list
We are regularly getting the question from users if it's possible to change the standard BOARD pivoted table to a flat list. I know this functionality also from other BI-Tools and it would be great if the user can decide via dataview-menu if he wants to have a flat list shown. Default can be still the pivoted view, but the…

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.

Close Message Option
It would be great if the option existed to close the informative Board messages that appear on the screen (example below).

New screen object: Multi-Selector
Hi All, during a presentation of a process mining tool I saw a pretty neat object and thought that maybe this could be replicated in Board: A selector that allows you to choose the entity you want use in a drop-down.

Entity format with multiple entities within a dataview
There are situations when the customer asks for entity format to be applied when there are multiple entities by rows (for example parents of an entity or groupings of different ones). As we all know, the entity formatting works only when we have a single entity by row, and the moment another entity is added there is a…

Currently the screen resize option when opening a new screen is "fit width" as default. This however is not really valid for all models / capsules / devices. If you use any of the other options and navigate, you have to constantly change the screen resize option afterwords. It would be great if one of these options could…

Entity Search
When using a "selector" or "detailed by" in a layout there is no real search function for the entities. Also, the drop down field showing the entities is very small showing only around 6 entities. It would be much more user friendly if everywhere the "search" function is used as in the procedure.
