Also, is there a way to customize the position of the…

Enable Master Object at the Containers Level (Tab or Panel)
Hi everyone, Currently, the Master Object option in Board is available only at the screen level. While this works well in many cases, I believe it would be more powerful and flexible if we could define a Master Object at the container level, such as within a Tab container or Panel container. If we could assign a local…

How block in layout display decimal value when tagged as Numeric vs Text
I am working on 14.2 and have come across a strange behaviour how the system is displaying decimal values when a block is tagged as Numeric vs Text. The Layout has YoY Change% displayed as 3 blocks, one is marked as Numeric while the other is marked as text. The block marked as text changes the decimal point to a comma.…

Tab container object - Orientation
IDEA: There must be an option to change the Tab container object orientation from Horizontal tabs to Vertical tabs. Vertical tabs will appear on the left side rather than the top. USE: This will help those developers who want to use fewer selectors horizontally and want a large number of tabs horizontally.

Blue Question Mark
Hi all, I would like to suggest either moving the blue question mark (Board 14 bottom right), or making it disappear when in design mode as it obstructs some options. We can collapse/expand groups in order to access the obstructed options, however it isn’t ideal.

Adding Cube Precision Control to Avoid Floating-Point Errors
Hi everyone, I propose adding a feature to handle decimal precision in Board, especially for totals and calculations. Currently, floating-point errors can cause totals to display as 0.0000000000xxx instead of 0, which leads to issues in data entry and result splits. Suggested Solution: Allow users to set precision limits…

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from Board 14's Excessive Mouse Clicking
I find that Board 14 requires a copious number of mouse clicks, from selecting a dataview within a tab, to saving a procedure.
