Downtotals without grand total line

Show grand total on top of dataview
Hi Community, more than once I have been asked by clients to display the Grand Total as the first row of a dataview. Since there is the option to change the horizontal alignment of the row totals (see screenshot below), maybe another option could be implemented to choose the location of the Grand Total? At least in larger…

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…

MAINTENANCE MODE
Hello, i usually find myself in this situation and was hoping this idea might be helpful for everyone * What is your idea? Create a “maintenance mode” in BOARD. As an environment (or capsule specific) setting, this method should allow the BOARD service to run and still be active, but redirect users to a page which displays…

Copy/Paste Multiple Procedure Actions/Groups
I have often found that I've needed to build procedures with multiple groups that each hold five or six actions each. These actions have the same logic aside for a few small changes, such as five dataflows that use the same calculation but the destination cube is different for each one. It would be great to have the…

Fix Relationships - Ask are you sure prompt
In future releases of BOARD can we please prompt the user if they click on the Fix Relationships button, if they are sure to run this procedure. I have had a few situations arise where this has been clicked by mistake, or out of curiosity, and then the maximum number of entities issue as occurred.

Beautiful Geomaps
Overview The existing GeoMap tool works well. It does the job of visualizing data on a map, but it's not beautiful. The flexibility and analytics provided in BOARD with respect to time analytics is great. I think it's time to improve the GeoMap tool to keep pace with other offerings. Features * Shape Datatype - Keyhold…

Enrich dataview formatting options to approach IBCS® standards
1. What is your idea? Enrich the dataview's format settings. In particular the block-specific #format settings of a layout. Currently, the several formatting options I know are : * use row templates for the ByRow entities * use block formatting options (Dataview Menu > Layout > Block configuration > Format): I can set…

Error messages in layouts more explicit than "Oops"
Hi all, Context & issue: A few months ago, we implemented a limit on reports known as "Rows Upper Limit" to prevent users from overloading the system with too big queries (usually, addind all axis of a cube to extract everything to excel...). Due to this limit, sometimes the users have a "Oops" error in their layout, but…

More detailed database logging for compliance
As we grow every year and acquire bigger customers who have governmental or agency obligations, we are getting more questions around the accuracy and detail of the various Board logs.

Breakpoint & Procedure Debugger
Hi everybody, I'd like to share an idea for an improvement which will be helpful for Board consultants and developers.

Direct Data Entry into a Cube in a DynaWrite
I can currently enter data into an RTF cube that is used in a DynaWrite Layout, but this is only possible if I set up a data entry enabled DataView with the RTF cube (see Add Narrative below): I would like to be able to write my text directly into the data entry enabled cube in the DynaWrite (i.e. 'Project narrative',…

Suggested Value Enhancements
It would be very useful to have some enhancements to the suggested value functionality for data entry. It is difficult to enter data quickly with the current functionality as each cell requires a click and select from a list. It would be extremely helpful for users having to do large amounts of data entry on suggested…

And here are some others: Adam Elvin 05 Nov 2017 Conditional Display of Columns -…

ASSIGN the SAME COLOR CODING TO the SAME ENTITY MEMBERS ACROSS CHARTS
* What is your idea? It should be possible to assign a “standard” color to each entity member at a “capsule” or “environment” level. This coloring schema should be retained across all the different charts those items are displayed in. Therefore, similarly for what happens in Corporate Designer, when a certain item is added…

More options in the BULK INSERT function
I think that the BULK INSERT function, has a lot of potential, whatsoever, it is very limited right now, it would help a lot to add more functions other than INSERT INTO. For example right now I'm trying to upload the hierarchies of our database to a SQL Database, if instead of INSERT we could also have access to the…

Support of right click menu to open link in new tabs
The idea is for Board Web Engine to enable a feature that is usually existing with links in HTML browser and allow for links be open in new tabs using right click menu or mouse 3. First, It's very convenient for the end-user to be able to decide for them-self where a new tab is pertinent and when it's not. Also it may be…

BOARD INTERNAL CONNECTOR
Hi community. My environment is based on sevaral databases, mainly set by function, and there're various procedures to move data from one db to another. Such processes are managed using cubes/trees export and reload. But in my opinion it would more comfortable have a kind of "internal connector" that allows a direct…

Currently the procedure's name is always empty when I click on "rename" I wish the existing name of the procedure would be displayed, so I can directly amend it. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to,…

Dynamic Axis Scale for Waterfall
When setting up a Waterfall it can happens that the middle bars are so small (compared to the starting and ending bars) that it is impossible to see them. Hopefully in the web the marker is plotted outside the bar, so it's visible, but the request is to have all the bar enough large to be visible. It would be nice to have…

"Hide Based On" in Layout block
Similar to the 'Locked by' option within a block, it would be handy if we also had the ability to 'Hide based on' for a block. So that if the 'based on' block is 1 this block would be hidden (as opposed to 'locked'). This would enable for a more simple hide/show of blocks in a dataview etc. This can already be done with…

Moving elements with the arrows on the keyboard
Hi! I think it would make screen design much easier if you could move the elements with the arrows on the keyboard, maybe to adjust the final pixels you need the side panel, but for the initial design it's much easier than with the mouse.
