Audit/Record changes to procedures / lines
As an on-going maintenance task, we frequently have to modify procedures (add more lines, modify existing, disable lines, etc.) It would be nice if (upon saving) the username/timestamp and action is recorded against each line (e.g. added, disabled, modified, etc). This can be used, in part as a version control mechanism.…

Annotation of Entities, Cubes, Data Reader and other Database structures
I wish there was a way to annotate entities, cubes, data readers, and other database structures as there is for procedure steps. This would enrich the in-system documentation for developers and could eliminate the need for out-of-system technical documentation. Documentation would thus be made faster and more efficient.

Recent Colors in Object Color Menu
Hi fellow Boardies, This is a suggestion for what may seem like a small, minor feature that I think could end up saving developers quite a bit of time during front-end development of an application. Frankly, I’m not exactly sure why it hasn’t been made available up to this point (but I’m no software developer, so excuse…

Selector : Add Exclude option in pop-up mode
Currently, with a selector in vertical mode users have the choice to change the "selection mode" from Include to Exclude : However, for a selector in pop-up the Exclude option isn't available : Unlike in the screen selector : It would be nice to have the Exclude option added to Selector in pop-up mode as in screen…

Step call procedure: deactivate checkboxes to copy current selections (back) by default
Minor idea: when creating a new procedure step "call procedure" the two checkboxes to copy current select / copy back current select are active by default. I have often seen both checkboxes activated in applications and quite often it turned out they have no purpose - the developer simply did not think whether it´s…

Interactive Select Option
SCENARIO: We have a procedure to navigate from the home screen to a planning screen. Before the "go to screen" step, there are several selections that are required to ensure the screen opens with the desired information / planning detail level. Some of the selections are made using a simple interactive select, others are…

"Refresh-Layout - Button" for Presentations
We switched by end of last week to the 12.5. Version, which brought the number scaling functionality. As a workaround we used in the last 2 years a TEC_Divisior-Entity which enabled us already to have a kind of number scaling feature —> BUT: every DataView contained a lot of blocks just for making this possible. With the…

Data Model object comments
For Data Model objects it would be informative to have to possibility to add comments and notes. For example a Procedure, under “Options” or a new tab, give the developer the possibility to write comments i.e. the purpose of the procedure, when it was last updated, who created/updated it. It could either be one big…

Restrict "Apply data selection" on "Go to screen..."
When navigating from a screen to another screen by using the action type “Go to screen…” on a label or a button, you can either check “Apply data selection” or not. However sometimes it is useful, if only a part of the data selection could be applied to the new screen. As a result it should be possible to mark per entity,…

Messages in BOARD 14
Hello, I just saw the Customer Connect Webinar on BOARD 14. And there it was said, that the Pop-Up Messages will now appear in the bottom right corner, instead of the top middle. Is this hard coded or can we adjust that. We use those messages a lot to guide users through procedures, so I want them to pop up in their direct…

Is it possible to have a different layout for the drill-through and main dataview? We…

Rounding not working in dataflow with BOARD 12.5.1.1
Dear all, I am using a BOARD Cloud instance. I have a cube V10, type double. Since this cube manages quantity in a planning process, I need to first perform Qty: V10 = value\price then I need to round the value. I have tried this: 1. Define a dataflow with round(V10,0) 2. Copy the value from the cube V10 to another cube…

AI Application Integration with Text Cube
Hi Team, As you know if I have a text cube at granular level, then we can not show the same cube at more aggregated level (as the behavior is not as same as numerical cube). What we can do is, through some mechanism, these text values are feed to AI bot like chatGPT and it can generate a summary at aggregated level.

"Optimize" Sparsity from a procedure action
