B11: Rename procedure's groups
Hi, it would be nice to have the chance to rename a procedure's group without the need of creating a new group with the right name and then moving all the actions to the new group and then to delete the former group! procedure modelling procedure

B10.5/11 Wish - Click to add Entity to Data Reader
Hi, currently you have to drag every entity one by one to the blue mapping area in a data reader. As you can not drop it anywhere else this is really not necessary and quite time consuming for large data readers. It would improve development speed a lot if you could just double click / check mark (like in win client) an…

Auto-Updating Version of BOARD Office Add-In
Hi All, not sure how many community members are affected by this, but at least for me it would be a great help, if there was an automatic update function (just like we have in the client) also for the Office Add-In. The need to deinstall one version and install another every time you connect to a different Board Server is…

API - Entities max item number
1. What is your idea? Show through Board API "/public/{dbName}/schema/Entities" the max item number of each entity. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? Monitoring the entities saturation 3. What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)? I…

Allow temporary cubes to be used in IfThenElse
In Board 11.2 the new functionality of temporary cube is available to allow intermediate calculation to be made and stored during a dataflow execution. However these temporary cubes are not available in the IfThenElse functionality. It would be a good addition to Board to allow these temporary cubes to be considered in…

Application Navigation Design
1. Abstract Navigation is "the act of moving between screens of an application to complete tasks".

Understanding BEAM
Hi everyone, I'm currently testing the Forecasting with BEAM, but I can't get it running. In my first try, I had a cube with month, customer, product, scenario and version and created a second cube for beam with the same dimensions (Absatz & Beam - Absatz). Those two cubes are not in the screenshots, I just wanted to…

Error 1064 after update of on-premise installation to Board Version 12.5

Select Based On with Temporary Cubes
The latest release notes for B12 Spring include the below statement. However it doesn't appear that Temporary Cubes are available in Select Based On Steps even though it says all steps. This would be a useful feature to add. The use of Temporary Cubes has been extended to Data readers and all Procedure steps

Checkbox column in Smart Import
Hi, I am building a page with a smart import object, and we would like to have a column that is a checkbox. Is this possible? I have not been able to find a setting for this. Alternatively, we will use a dropdown Yes/No picklist, so we do have a plan B, but I wanted to confirm if this is possible or not. Thank you,…

Label Spacing in Charts
It would be so nice to add the "Label Spacing" setting to the charts where you can set the the label spacing so they don't overlap without having to mess with the sizing of the chart. This will make the numbers so much easier to read and the charts will look great! Thank you!

Add an Error handling group in procedure
I wish there was a special group named something like "CatchError" to catch error (i.e. like in datareader) and handle gracefully errors with a message box for instance Currently, users are left on their own to figure which step crash (since you have no way to handle error, you most likely will run the remain step anyway.…

Default Layout at the break point while debugging
Hi Team, Can we incorporate the feature of default layout at the breakpoint while debugging to copy the layout at that step. This was present in previous versions(B10). It could be really helpful for the developers to debug without copying or creating the new layout from the scratch. Thanks & Regards, Neha Hasija

Add Web Login Page customization
Hi all, it's not currently possible to customize Login Page displayed by Board Web Server (background and logo). It'll be a good idea to add this functionality to the "Theme" section in the Administration menu. Pietro

Add sum of remaining values in addition to total
When filtering the layout by let's say the top customers, I'd like to know how much am I missing. Right now using "Keep Totals" I can infer the rest of the values. But that is a tedious task, best done in excel. I'd like to have an option "add remaining sum" that would create a new row above the totals' row. The content…

Add an 'Exclude' to the select tab of a data view
Would like to be able to exclude using the select on a data view, similar to the way you can exclude from a screen. Business requirement - We have a request to show storm data separate from non-storm data on the same screen. Ideally, I could put two dataviews on a screen with different selection on each. Unfortunately I…

Active influence of marker value displaying
Half of the values are displayed above, and the other half under the line. Create a control to delegate the decision how to be displayed (all top, all buttom or mixed(default like now)) to the developer. There is no possibility to influence the display at the moment

(Git) Versioncontrol of Board-Database-Schema
Problem to solve Currently, it is a difficult task to carefully document a database schema. Often this task is postponed until later or is completely forgotten. Even if there is documentation, it is often not available centrally in one place for all project participants, but distributed in different places with different…

Warning message before loading a DB in memory
Hi all, following our discussion here: Full RAM Mode / Benchmarking : how much time does it take to load your DB in RAM ?

A number of similar and big databases can…

Value Slider Object
Hi, In different occasions we have been asked to report on a specific measure/KPI, or to simulate a change in its value and see the impact on other elements of the screen, through a "slider" object (see image below as example). This kind of objects are getting widely spread into web-based applications due to their ease of…

Time Functions & Entity Description
I think it would be nice if the description of the entities in row / column considered time functions of the cubes (eg offset-1 on Month, with selected month Jan.18 shows Dec.17).

Is there a way to have rows with no data not displayed in a drill down screen?
When drilling down through data on a report, I would like to be able to make it more concise by not having rows with no data be hidden. The below highlighted rows are examples of what I'd like to not be shown.

Limit "Apply data selection" to relevant entities
If you navigate to another screen, by for example using a label with the action type “Go to screen”, you can either apply the entire selection to the new screen or no selection at all: It would be helpful to be able to limit the selection to those entities that are relevant to the selection on the other screen.

Cube structure preview in Layout
In old board version ( < V10) if we go into layout we are able to see a preview on the entities defined for each of the cube. May be similar option can be provided in new version, so when debugging or reviewing a layout in screen or procedure we can get a preview on the structure for the cube.
