SVG-Icons for Entities
I suggest the possibility to add own SVG icons to entities. This makes it possible to display them instead of or in addition to code/description in selectors, diagrams and dataviews. This option is particularly interesting for grouping entities, workflow entities or other static entities. It is important that these can be…

Add sorting information to Entity-Export
We currently get information about the members of an entity to be extracted as Code/Member for standard entities and Code/Member/Parent for UBHs.

Default setting for Relationship
Hello, When there's a parent missing to a child, the Default button becomes visible. But if there are no errors, you won't see the button. It would be ideal if the Default button would be visible at all times, or maybe have an overview window (like the Normalize window), where you could set up the default mapping. In the…

Quickly adding/dragging of Entities or Cubes within the Mapping page of DataReader
Just to make life easy, we should have a checkbox beside each entity/cube which should allow the developer to select multiple entities or cubes with the help of ☑ or [Ctrl + select], and then drag it at once. This should be applicable for all versions including Board 14.

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.

It could either be one big…

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.
