The current office add-in offers a good integration between Board and Microsoft office products, however the current add-in his design to work better with the windows version than the wed version of Board.
It can be improved with the following:
1.Allowing copy/paste of Dataview layout(design) from the Web client to the office add-in.
It is currently only possible to do a copy/paste from the windows client layout. This limit the quick usability of the add-in.
If a user make a dataview in the web-client he will have to redo it from scratch in the office add-in.
2. Revamp of the interface of the add-in to match Board web client
The interface of the office add-in is similar to the windows client of Board.
Users that are only trained to the web version are lost when using it, it multiply the training time and increase the risk of error when using it.
It would be better to have an interface that is similar to the web client for web users.
