trigger broadcast functionality via procedure launcer
Our customer has the broadcast license and is currently sending content critical time-controlled status reports. We would liked to trigger this automatically at the end of the data preparation with the Procedure Launcher and not (necessarily) delayed (since the data preparation has to be finished) by the broadcast…
Export to excel from HTML5 with layout
I have been asked if the export to excel from the HTML interface can contain the layout details. So when you connect using the BOARD Add in on the exported data view, you can open the layout in Excel and the configuration is there. When you export to excel from the BOARD client, the layout configuration is available when…
Export to Excel - improved file-naming
It would be useful to enhance the functionality of exports to excel (and pdf) to enable more meaningful filenames to be created. My suggestion is that there should (in Web) be 2 new properties associated with each object, for which export to excel (and pdf) would use as part of exported filenames. This would improve the…
'Exit Screen' Procedure step to close tabs in web client
I am proposing a web client behaviour for the existing 'Exit Screen' procedure step. Currently this procedure step has no action in the Web Client, however within the Windows Client, upon execution of this step, the current open screen is closed fully, rather than navigated away from. It would be ideal if this step had the…
Entity: possibility to manage several descriptions by member
It would be very useful to be able to allocate to an entity member a second or third description (e.g. short desc / long desc. / extra-long desc), and then be able to select one of these in screen objects (dataviews, labels...).
Entity order / user view
In the database settings you can define the user view / order of entities. However this only affects the entity pane in the layout configuration! The entity order should also affect the entity order in Pager/Selector menu as well as Drill Down and screen/layout selection window.
End user Error Message Visibility for Administrator
The Idea. To give Admin visibility of the individual error messages that can appear on the end-users screen (bottom right corner in client), this could be via a simple log file recording the time of message, the message, and the end user. Why. We have solutions developed for clients and at times they get an error message…
Ease capsule renaming
Dear team, We would like to rename our capsules but it seems that it is almost impossible without loosing what we have already built in BOARD as we have feeds, presentations, go to screen, screen procedures in place. It would be great if we could link the capsule to anything without putting the name of the capulse but…
Dynamic selection in dataview selection and refer to
Hello, In some complex report wold be extremely useful to have dynamic selecion on cubes and on reports exactly with the same features of the main selection "Current date", "Based on cube", "Options", etc. Otherwise we have to create and mantain lot of parents to group items, ad-hoc cubes to store selected figures through…
Data entry by copy&paste in html Client
Within desktop client it´s possible to enter data by "copy & paste" i.e. from excel. In html client this is currently only working for maximum 50 rows and 100 lines. I think copy & paste is used by many users so elimination of this restriction would be helpful. Additional information from BOARD support: restriction is…
Apply selection to block works for dataviews withing containers
Currently board throws an error when we try to do this, but if we could give the container a physical name could we built this functionality whereby we could apply a selection to block in a dataview that in turn is placed inside a container on a screen? Thanks
Apply Selection to Block on multiple blocks at once
Instead of having to select Screen-Dataview-Block for each block in a separate "Apply Selection to Block"-action, it would save a lot of time if it was possible to multi-select all needed blocks from all dataviews on the screen.
Allow developer to 'size' the pie, or take into consideration if Labels are on when setting size.
It would be good if the developer could control the pie size in the web like you could in the client, or if the size of the pie took into consideration if 'labels/outside' is set. Why? Because in the new web pie chart object labels don't necessarily show/appear as the sizing is incorrect..and it is impossible to make them…
Add column Group in Procedure page
In most Data Model pages, e.g. Entity, Cube, Data reader the column "Group" exists. It would practical if it also exists in the Procedure page.
Ability to group columns
Grouping columns: Currently, we have grouping of rows which is useful, however, the timeline of the data in columns is huge, hence grouping of columns will be great. Will help reduce time and efforts.
"Save and Continue Editing" button in process editor
In process editor, clicking "Cancel" will remove all work that has been completed but not yet saved (with no confirmation, btw), while clicking "Save" will save all work but then edit the process editor. Can we please have a "Save and Continue Editing" button, or something similar added?
Enhance Excel-Addin Layout Execution
In last couple of releases export functionality was taken to the next level. Bulk data export via Bulk Insert, Export Dataset or even via the API interface now make it possible to export more than just an ordinary layout. It would be great if this kind of layout execution could be adapted for the Excel add-in as well, so…
Update Localization/Unload/Reload as new procedure step
Idea : Add 3 new options as step in a procedure : Update Localization Apply current values in *_localized cubes Unload Database Same as "Unload" from the Data Model / Summary button Reload Database Same as "Unload" from the Data Model / Summary button but reload just after Context : Localization on entities are updated…
Change Owner of Presentations
It would be great if there would be a possibility for the administrator or owner of presentations to change the owner of presentations - especially when users are leaving the company and handing over their stuff or if responsibilities in the company are changing.
Subscription Hub - Enable sort function on "Role" and "Instance"
Greetings! In the process of creating a new user account, we often have to look up users with similar responsibilities so that we can assign the correct role to a new user. However, the sorting function on "Role" and "Instance" is not enabled, making the process a tad bit slower. It would be great if we could use sort on…
SQL data reader logs - own folder in cloud administration portal
Hi! It would be very useful if there was a folder that only contains discarded records for sql data readers in the cloud administration portal. As of now it seems that this information can be found under other logs but is mixed up with a lot of other logs. If logs were to get an own folder for data readers it would also be…
Quick Layout for Charts
Hi ! The idea is pretty simple and I'm sure it's already in the pipe somewhere in Chiasso... Basically I would like the "quick layout" function to be available for charts, in the same way it is for dataviews (configurable axis), or maybe in a simplified manner (rows only or columns only) if there are too many constraints.…
Incorporating Page By Option for Microsoft Excel Add-In
This option is currently only available in Standard Microsoft Excel Workbook, but applying this feature to the Add-In will save a lot of time for clients when it comes to building Excel templates connected to Board. I have a current client who would like to use the Add-In with different tabs by Reporting Unit and Conso…
Improving security management through easier maintenance of profiles
Hi everyone, As I already discussed with some of our Board France friends (Andrea Masiero especially), I found that Board is missing some key features in terms of security management. Some of them have workarounds through the so-called "Tilde Database" system, but this is not usable for all customers and it was not usable…
Highlighted Selector
Hi All, the idea is quite simple but I think it is very useful. At the moment when there are, within a screen, several selectors on the same tree it is difficult to understand on which selector a selection has been made as the selection expands correctly itself on all the entities of the tree. An alert/symbol would be…
Geomap Centricity
It would be great to have an option to change the centrity of the GeoMap. At now it is Europe Centric, it would be nice to have Asia (or Americas) in the middle.
Forcing massive log-out
It would be very useful to have the possibility to make a massive log-out of all users (not only web users, but, example, also excel users connected with add-in). Restarting the Board engine is not enough to get all users off Board. The log-out takes place only for users who are connected with the web application (for…
Extract ppt from Presentation Tool
Hi all, We are working with the presentation tool and it would be very useful to have the possibility to extract a ppt formatted with the dimension of the ppt slides. At the moment, we can only extract slides with a white frame around the screenshot: there is no way to modify the slide margin. Thanks
Possibility to add sever screens to a presentation at once
Currently you can only add screen after screen to a presentation. It would be comfortable to be able to select several screens from the same capsule at the same time.
Add "next screen" Button
It would be comfortable to have in the capsules a standardised button that directs to the next screen in the capsule (similar to the presentation mode). Obviously, the button should only be visible if the screen list is not hided.
