metadata-driven modeling with BAML (Board Application Markup Language)
This feature is inspired by BIML (Business Intelligence Markup Language). To develop a board-application you don’t need coding skills. That is really great for beginners! To develop a board-application is mostly to create or alter meta-data. For example create a new entity. Give them a name, group, id length, desc length…

REST API - Execute Procedure with Selection
Selections are an elementary concept for controlling procedures in Board. When starting a procedure from a screen, a start selection is usually passed with it. We need this possibility also, if we start a procedure over the rest Api. The selection could be passed in the body as JSON. Currently only the database name and…

Adding search engines in all process options
It would be very helpful to have a search engine like "Select Entity Based on Cube" or "Clear Cube" (Picture) in all options where a selection has to be made. There are many options, such as "Remove Selection on Entity" or "Cube Align" (picture), where you have to search for entities or cubes by scanning a list.

Smart Import Enhancement
The last releases contained a lot of news about the Smart Import Object. The functions that the object now brings with it are great. Still, I would like to see two more features: moving columns (without having to rename and remap columns every time a new column is added in between. if rows are rejected, it would be great…

Column sorting and filtering for the end user
Hi, it is often the case that Board replaces a previous Excel solution. In Excel there is the useful function that a filter can be placed over the columns with the help of which the user can sort in ascending or descending order. He or she can also set value filters there, for example, that only rows larger > or smaller <…

Automatic termination of a layout
It happens that nightly scheduled procedures are blocked by untimely layouts that run endlessly and block the processes; Would it be possible to automatically stop layouts that run for more than X minutes or hours?

Sorting Rows - Keep Top setting for more than one dimension
We have several requirements with keep top setting AND showing more that one dimension in the dataview. It seems like this function only works as long as there is only one dimension in the rows. E.g. I'd like to have the Top 25 Materials sorted on Sales-Cube desc. on a material level - and as second information I would…

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.

Dataview - Dynamic Underline
In our Dataview we have oppurtunity to add a underline to highlight a column. The options are static and can't be influenced by shown data. I dream of a dynamic underline like our Alarm-Feature. Depending on block-values or another block a underline or different underlines could be shown. Example: In a Forecast-Report i…

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,…

Remove API Query limit for request made locally
Idea : Don't take query made locally - from Board server to itself - into account for the daily 500 query limit.

AutoSum Selected Range
Request for a possibility to AutoSum Selected (highlighted) range, similar to AutoSum in Excel. Example below. Condition - works on numerical cells only. We have observed that Board Users often export views to excel to run sum on a range of cells that intersect across multiple rows and columns. This becomes particularly…

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…

We want the drill-through to hide rows where the Fiscal YTD is zero, and we want the main dataview to filter where WS P&L Filter is zero. 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…
