Option of restricting elements for selectors
Up to now, for a selector, there was only the possibility to display all elements or only the active elements. However, I had the requirement in many projects that the selectable elements should be restricted depending on other filtering. Reasons could be for example: Elements of entities are no longer valid, but should…

Number Scaling - formatting options
The new function is pretty good - but it would be really good, if there would be some formatting options for the number scaling —> e.g. k instead of K or T instead of K etc. Also deactivating the suffix would be great - so just having the value without K/M/B

Database Security / Transporter
Hi All, it would be really useful if the Board Transporter Tool would consider and work also with the Database Security Profiles. There are many alternatives (especially for customers working with the Subscription Hub) but it would be a great enhancement. Thanks, federico

Codes and customer description in multiple columns.
Need to bring codes and descriptions in axes of the layout separately as individual items rather than single item.

Possibility to define datetime function formatting
ISSUE: Datetime is always restricted to the cultural settings of the user (or in some cases the computer) that uses it.

Deleting entity elements made easy
There is already a guide on "How to remove obsolete entity members". However, this process should be much easier. It would be great if entity members can be deleted easily by hand. Especially, in big databases that would be a huge relief because it wouldn't be necessary to reload the entity and cubes. As a bonus, it would…

"Min" and "Max" as aggregation-functions
It would be very helpful to be able to select "Min" and "Max" as aggregation-functions on an entity, in addition to the existing "distinct count", "average" and "sum" (see second screenshot). Right now it is possible to display the min- and max-values as a row total (see lower dataview in the first screenshot), but not if…
