Entity 'Copy' feature should be made available, apart from the 'Replicate' feature.
Hi, I hope this IDEA finds you all good and helpful. This IDEA concerns a simple feature that is currently not available in the Board application and making this available can help solving many issues related to the Incorrect reports and data. Cause of IDEA: Many users use the 'Replicate' feature, thinking that they are…
Setting time range and time entity relationships
Once a year, I plan a task to extend the time range by one year. I tried extending it by a year, which resulted in unexpected changes to the time entity relationships. In the example below, the number of child entities Month for FY=2023 should remain 12, but has become 3. Before the time change After the time change I have…
B14 - Less clicks, less blocking popups
Board 14 requires in some parts too many clicks which slows down the process working with e.g. the data model. An example - Adding an entity: B12: +Entity (1st click), Save Changes (2nd click), Next Entity … B14: + (1st click), Entity (2nd click), Create (3rd click), Wait approx. 3,5s for Popup to disappear, Close (4th…
Error On-screen selection (cont.)
We're facing the same problem as this issue, but I have not been able to solve it with the same workaround. I am having trouble because even though I have narrowed down the entities displayed by screen selection, entities that are not selected in the data view are also displayed. I have certainly created paent-child…

Is there an ETL function for counting row?
Hi, I've got a cube that requires a line reference number as a dimension (from the load table) - I'd like to add a row counter to the ETL in the data reader where this cube is populated, but I'm not sure what the function would be (or if one exists). Does anyone know what the function is or a workaround? Thanks!
Error On-screen selection
Hello, I am having trouble because even though I have narrowed down the entities displayed by screen selection, entities that are not selected in the data view are also displayed.

Error when changing entity relationships
Even if I reconfigured the entity relationship, it was not reflected in the data view. The data is displayed in the data view with the original settings. ① Apart from the time entity, I created an entity named "Month Stamp".

Show Currency/Unit of Measure next to values
we are having since years requirements that we want to show the currency next to a value or the unit of measure next to a quantity. e.g. Material xy —> purchasing order quantity 1.000 M (meters) No consultant was able to show me a solution so far. But I know this working in other tools (e.g. QlikView).
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…
Entity editor
If you place the Entity Editor and the Data View on the same page, you will not be able to see the contents of the Data View. How do I put them on the same page?
Data flow: Copy cube down to a more granular one
Hi, we have a cube with data at Regional level and would like to copy it to another Cube at Country level. So we are going from a higher and aggregated level to a more granular one. The target cube has already data so we would like that the copy spreads the total by Region to its different country members. It should be…
Temporary Entity
Just like we have temporary cubes in procedures sometime we need dummy entites of one or two members may be more depending upon calculations, so like temporary cubes how about having temporary entites??
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. Unfortunately, although there is an option to sort entity members by "Custom" (and we can import the sorting order for those entities), the sorting order information is missing…
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.
How to use Unbalanced Hierarchy

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. Depending on block-values or another block a underline or different underlines could be shown. Example: In a Forecast-Report i…
Data Model object comments
For Data Model objects it would be informative to have to possibility to add comments and notes. For example a Procedure, under “Options” or a new tab, give the developer the possibility to write comments i.e. the purpose of the procedure, when it was last updated, who created/updated it. It could either be one big…
Warning Message in the Board Application when Max Item number has reached
Hi Team, could we have some sort of a warning message or a notification (in the Board application UI) when any of the entities are at 100% or have crossed the 100% saturation. There have been instances in projects when the entities have crossed beyond 100% like at 120% and the implementation team or the users are unaware…

Dummy entity elements for budgeting purposes
1. Abstract In planning processes, sometimes it is necessary to manage new occurrences that don’t exist in real life yet, which means creating provisional elements in the master data that will serve only for planning purposes. 2. Context Creating provisional elements in master data for planning purposes means creating new…
Entity Member created by and modified by logging
In complex projects where entity members are touched through multiple data readers, often there is a need to know when an entity member was created (in case of wrong masters) or when the description was changed Idea would be to add two more attributes to entity members: Created by Last Modified by The log could maintain -…
Separating Code & Description - Axis Setting
I was wondering whether it would be possible to add an option to separate the code and description of entities added to the axis setting. With the hack mentioned in this post, the sequence of the breakdown of the data via the entities is not respected. Currently I am using the code setting in the axis setting and adding…
