Optimization of pdf-export functionality
Hello community members, the reporting processes in our company require quite often the standard export functionality of screens and presentations. The result of a month-end closing process e.g. is a pdf-workbook containing many screens of a specific board presentation. These pdf-workbooks are then sent to our stakeholders…
Save / Restore Screen selection
Summary: An easy way to store my current screen selection and restore it at any time in any screen. As is: Currently, we can get this functionality by storing the screen selection in cubes by user and dimension I want to store. For complex apps, It means that I need to create a large list of cubes to save each dimension…
Rules Editor : Add "Apply" and "validate" button
When editing a rule the "save changes" button close the window and bring you back to the list of available rules We should have the option to save without closing the rule. Then we get an error through a notification pop-up with ALL the error in the ALL rules, but it can only display 4 lines which can be unrelated to the…
Master Data cleaning
Clean obsolete members in a db is a chaotic exercise, while for some applications it is mandatory to do it on a regular basis. Board should provide a tool, that detect such members (i.e no actual data for last 2 years) and propose to delete them without impacting screen selections, procedures selections....
Extract geographic coordinates from map chart
THE IDEA I would like to suggest that the ability to capture the latitude and longitude position of the mouse pointer be incorporated into the MAP chart object. The pointer position is already displayed dynamically in the bottom left hand corner of a map chart but as an Easting and Northing coordinate and is not available…
Drill to Window/Popup
When I drill on a DataView a popup opens. When I drill to a screen a new screen opens (either in the same tab or an additional tab). It would be useful to be able to drill to a window so my new screen appears on top of the existing screen, but as a window. This way I can move the window around and still view the screen I…
Disable BOARD Menu in Web Client / General Start-Screen
Hi, we want our users to navigate in our own structure. That’s possible and easy to build and administrate with the current tools. But when it comes to the Web Client we have the left site BOARD menu. I know that some of the options can be disabled, but not the capsules browser. We don't want to use the capsules browser. I…
Clear All cubes from procedure
1. What is your idea? Add a "Clear all cubes" procedure action so that it could be launched programmatically. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? Since "once a member enters in an Entity, it stays in the Entity FOREVER", I'd like to build a…
Chart Improvements - Distinguish between blocks in layout and in legend
Some of our customers have the desire to specifically select the blocks that should be displayed in the chart itself and which should be displayed in the legend. Thus, it would be helpful to have a function that allows you to explicitly choose which blocks to display in the legend.
BULLET CHART - ISSUES
Please could I ask for support to have the Bullet Chart issues, outlined below, addressed so as to make the Bullet Chart usable in all the scenarios for which it was built? Image 1 shows how bullet charts in BOARD 11.x can be used. Image 1: Four stacked bullet charts. All are of uniform length and each is independent of…
Beautiful Heatmaps
Heatmaps can be very powerful to make pairwise comparisons (e.g. when you have a list of scenarios). Unfortunately, we do not have many options for colormaps in BOARD right now, which limits their interpretation. For example, I think I would not be able to create the heatmap below in which I compute the difference btw…
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…
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.…
Previous Selection
Hi all, have you also come across the desire to go back to the previous selections? Okay, Board will let you reset the selection on a specific entity and then you can select something else or you can use a vertical list and click on another member. But how cool would it be to be able to go some steps back? Example: I am…
New Object: Process Mining Graph
Hi All, a while ago we at SDG have started to analyze business processes using system log files and different process mining tools. Since process mining has become quite a hype and many of our customers use Board, it would be a huge benefit to have a process graph as a new object within Board. For obvious reasons, I cannot…
Make Reverse Rules have full functionality
Hi, currently Reverse Rules have the following limitations: 1) Does not work if there are multiple row entities (the normal rule still works, if the level 1 entity is not a parent hierarchie of the rule entity -> reverse rule doesn't work) 2) Only works, if "Show all" is enabled on rows 3) Reverse rule doesn‘t work if rule…
Keep filenames within BLOB cubes
If a file is loaded within a BLOB cube, at the time of extraction it is renamed with a meaningless name. It would be nice not to rename the file. Especially for applications where several files are uploaded on BLOB cubes by multiple users.
BOARD 11 Randomizer Tool
WHAT WAS THE RANDOMIZER TOOL. To those that knew of it, and before BOARD 11, the Randomizer Tool was hugely powerful, allowing test models of production offerings to be created in as little as five minutes (once you knew the fields and cubes to obfuscate). Simply put, it turns real data into random data. Image 1 shows the…
Filter by Column
It would really be useful to be able to filter by columns the same way we can filter by criteria on the row. "Show All" works in some cases but not all. Compounded by the fact that switch row columns is not available in HTML5, sometimes there is simply no workaround to have charts with more complex filtering…
Ability to single click buttons in a dataview
Hi, It would be good to be abe to change between a double click and single click when you add a procedure to a dataview block. Many customers have asked for a single click as apposed to a double click. Thanks Jack
BOARD Cloud - Admin Portal - Enable Schedule for Services Restart
In BOARD Cloud platform, it's not possible to schedule Restart of Services. It could be nice to be able to schedule the restart of Board Engine service and Board Web service. As well as being able to schedule the "Unload" (of a DataModel in RAM). These schedules would ensure to have a Re-set of application on a regular…
List of all functions that can be used in dataflows
Hi to everyone, it would be very useful to have a document that lists all the possible functions that can be used within the dataflow layout. I have already opened a ticket to Board and they confirmed that this document does not currently exist.
Pie Chart Appearance
Hello, The Pie chart is a quick way of grasping the contribution share of factor members in measures e.g. quantity of products sold for a time range under product division hierarchy. Presently the pie chart appearance shows the member share in the order in which entities are uploaded. However the visualization of the pie…
Enable hidden Dataview blocks to show in Sliding Toolbar
Hey, so right now it is possible in the sliding toolbar in the data icon to disalbe/hide datablocks. It would be good to have a field in the layout of the dataview to enable hidden blocks for be shown in there as well. So you can not only disable datablocks, but enable hidden datablocks as well.
Use input functionalities without double clicking
Currently, we can input numerical data; but if we want to use the input functionalities (for example: inc50, >50 …), we need to double-click before entering the value. It would be great if we could input with these features without double clicking.
Resize bubbles of bubble chart along with chart area
Currently, when selecting a block for the "radius" property of a bubble chart, the bubbles' size stays fixed and does not change when resizing the chart area. This can cause the bubbles to overflow the chart area like in the image below. If there were to be a "bubbles scale multiplier" one could adjust the bubbles' size…
Dynamic selection from non-time entity to time entity
Now, About Specifucaion of Dynamic selection, Dynamic selection of non-time entities and dynamic selection of time entities do not affect each other. I want them to change so that they affect each other. At the time of initial display of the screen, I want to select the time entity according to the dynamic selection result…
Usage of Nexel Datablock without enabling "Show All" in columns
Hi all, it would be great if we could use Nexel Datablocks without enabling by columns "Show All" (axis settings) in a dataview. Best regards Atilla
