Hello Community, i like using TOP/FLOP analyses and in many Customers i have implemented BOARD solutions i have come across the following need * What is your idea?

Value Slider Object
Hi, In different occasions we have been asked to report on a specific measure/KPI, or to simulate a change in its value and see the impact on other elements of the screen, through a "slider" object (see image below as example). This kind of objects are getting widely spread into web-based applications due to their ease of…

Log track of entities saturation and in case the MaxItem is reached
In B12 when the Max Item saturation is reached, Board gives no alert even if Data Readers fails to load data due to the impossibility to add new members. It would be nice to have this error and also to have it tracked in the logs (such as Data reader failure etc). Also having the saturation information monitored in some…

Dynamic time offset
There is no chance to label the layout blocks with an offset. If you want to show the previous year, the block has to be labeled with "PY" or similar. To handle it you have to implement a tempcube with the period entity and a capsule procedure which is triggered by screen open trigger like this: Then you can use the…

Deleting entity elements made easy
There is already a guide on "How to remove obsolete entity members". However, this process should be much easier. It would be great if entity members can be deleted easily by hand. Especially, in big databases that would be a huge relief because it wouldn't be necessary to reload the entity and cubes. As a bonus, it would…

Show code and description separately in layout
In over 20 years of experience with Board I've been asked hundreds of times to show dimensions by row in a dataview with separated columns for code and description. As far as the last dimension by row is concerned I always use a workaround to show the entity description as a block but the problem is not so easy once you…

Forcing massive log-out
It would be very useful to have the possibility to make a massive log-out of all users (not only web users, but, example, also excel users connected with add-in). Restarting the Board engine is not enough to get all users off Board. The log-out takes place only for users who are connected with the web application (for…

Allow developer to 'size' the pie, or take into consideration if Labels are on when setting size.
It would be good if the developer could control the pie size in the web like you could in the client, or if the size of the pie took into consideration if 'labels/outside' is set. Why? Because in the new web pie chart object labels don't necessarily show/appear as the sizing is incorrect..and it is impossible to make them…

Nexel Enhancement - "Auto update algorithms"
Hi fellow community members! Question: Are you using Nexel for planning screens and did you notice that changing the order of blocks in the data layout will not be reflected in the Nexel-formulas? The consequence is, that every layout change will require adjustment of the Nexel-formulas and that can become quite tiresome.…
