IBCS Standards

Antonio Farinon

I would like to suggest to enrich the dataview and graph settings to help building a BOARD application using reporting standards as suggested by the IBCS® standards (International Business Communication Standards).

These standards aim at providing a consistent reporting set for the user, so that he can very quickly know whether he is looking on actuals, budget or previous period figures (for example).

You can find more about the ICBS standards here: https://www.ibcs.com/

Hello,

the same idea (https://community.board.com/discussion/15596/enrich-dataview-formatting-options-to-approach-ibcs-standards) - written five years ago - has the status "planned" currently.

I do not know for when it is planned though...

Hi, thank you for sharing your idea, Antonio. We appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting your suggestion.

Great news, features have been added over the years to obtain the IBCS formats in the Board reports. In Spring 2023, we also added Entity templates that will make the reports creation much easier for the standard templates. Here are some helpful links to the manual:

Here's also a screenshot as an example of a Board screen where we are using the new features:

Hi @Monisha Jain ,

this sounds great!

Would it be possible to have access to a demo application in which you used the new features? Then we'd have an idea how you solved it and created the visual representations, for example adapting the circles around the highest/lowest value in the delta PY and in general the usage of the custom style templates.

Kind regards

Michael

Hi @Monisha Jain,

I was wondering if there is any update regarding a demo application or some other way to access this demo IBCS-screen.

This would make it easier to not only understand that specific things are possible, but also to see how they were done. It would save us a lot of time invested into the learning process.

Kind regards

Michael
