Drill-down feature on a chart
The idea is to enhance interaction with charts, enabling navigation of the entity tree. As a front end user, I would like to be able to expand (and also aggregate) on the default dimension set in the graph. In order to give an idea of the use cases, I am thinking at this kind of competitor's feature: power BI drill down on…

Annotation of Entities, Cubes, Data Reader and other Database structures
I wish there was a way to annotate entities, cubes, data readers, and other database structures as there is for procedure steps. This would enrich the in-system documentation for developers and could eliminate the need for out-of-system technical documentation. Documentation would thus be made faster and more efficient.

REST API - Execute Procedure with Selection
Selections are an elementary concept for controlling procedures in Board. When starting a procedure from a screen, a start selection is usually passed with it. We need this possibility also, if we start a procedure over the rest Api. The selection could be passed in the body as JSON. Currently only the database name and…

Possibility to define datetime function formatting
ISSUE: Datetime is always restricted to the cultural settings of the user (or in some cases the computer) that uses it. This could cause issues when, for example, an export of a cube that has a timestamp in it (that was created using datetime) is expected to arrive in certain formatting, but a user with a different culture…

Notify if max item number reached
In desktop client, there used to be a pop-up message appearing in case a max item number was reached and that the Administrator was to be contacted. It would be great if some kind of notification would show up also in web (without the need to access the proper Relationships page), because if noone accesses the…

change table/dataview from pivot to flat list
We are regularly getting the question from users if it's possible to change the standard BOARD pivoted table to a flat list. I know this functionality also from other BI-Tools and it would be great if the user can decide via dataview-menu if he wants to have a flat list shown. Default can be still the pivoted view, but the…

Change Click-on-Selector behaviour in Development Mode
Currently when designing a screen and clicking on a selector object in order to move, alter or align it, the selection window is opened and has to be closed manually. During development it is more common to configure or move Selector Objects than actually setting up a selection using the Selector. Therefore it would be…

more Comment-formatting/placement options
We are having several management reports (basically P&L structure) which need to get commented by all subsidiaries. This commenting needs to be done in an extra table below the main data view (columns not possible due to a lot of columns and scrolling to the right is not an option). This makes it a bit difficult to find…

Search and/or sort among Mask screen
When working with the screen selection for Masks it's very hard to find the correct screen when you have a long list of screens. Ideas: - Make the list searchable and/or sorted in alphabetical order. - Make it easier to remove/add screens from/to a Mask. Now you have to do it in two steps - first remove and then add. Have…

Dynamic Decimals on report views
Hi team! We've recently had two customers and a partner reach out about the request to dynamically show or not show decimal places. Right now, it currently requires work arounds that involve layout adjustments or duplicated screens. We would like to request the ability to adjust the decimals we are viewing on a report…

Format report in Microsoft WORD
Within T-Mobile it is our objective to report everything from BOARD. Herefor, we need to combine the individual BOARD reports in WORD to have one total report which we can easily share with the stakeholders. However, it is not possibility to have the same format of the report we have in BOARD to have it in WORD as well. It…

"Run as administrator" option for "Advanced broadcast rule"
From my point of you it would make sense if there would also be a "Run as administrator" option for the broadcast function "Advanced broadcast rule" so that the developer can explicitly run the broadcast function without (previously removed) security selections. Right now there is no such option so the broadcast function/…

Connection alias on Cloud Administration portal
When you create the connection alias on the admin portal, you must have an existing connection configured on the Datapipeline portal. So when you map the alias to the existing connection, one should not need to type the connection name, it would be better to have a drop-down list only showing the available connections so…

RGB color in Dynawrite
Finding the customer's color in Dynawrite is difficult since the RGB color scheme is not used. RGB is used basically everywhere else in Board. Idea: Add option or change the color selection in a Dynawrite to RGB. This is how the color selection looks like in most other places in Board.

Export to Word
We are working on a project where information on Board needs to be exported to word to allow creation of documents with embedded information from Board. Currently if we export, we get a screenshot rather than exporting to word with the use of Board word add-in. I can see this being useful for lots of customers as financial…

copy procedure from one capsule to another
would be great if one could copy or save a procedure from one capsule to another where also temporary cubes are copied. That would massively simplify the copying or even moving of a procedure instead of recreating the procedure by copying the steps and re-creating the temporary cubes.

Impact Analysis - Stop Pre-analysis
Impact analysis is a very powerful feature. The bigger a data model is, the more important are the insights that can be gained with it. At the beginning, a pre-analysis is performed to offer only available analyses to the user. For very large applications, this is very time consuming. In this example, it takes almost 5…

Tooltip by Column Header
It has been requested several times (as in for example our most latest POC by BASF) to have the possibility to have a tooltip in the header of a block or column. This is a common practice in people that use excel since it helps understand what is within that column. Currently this can be done via a label with a tooltip…

Hide Screen List configurable depending on users
hide screen list options is a ON/OFF option it could be useful have the capability to deactivate it for some users (e.g. administrators or process owners for an application). It could be made on different levels: as default, in security profile settings (e.g for administrators)at capsule level, defining exceptions on some…

Rows & Columns - add all entities
Adding possible entities (and its hierarchy) to the Rows & Columns is time consuming. Here are three suggestions to make it less time consuming. Give option to set all possible entities as default in the whole environment.When selecting a Data View in the screen (design mode), give the option to enable all possible…

Close Message Option
It would be great if the option existed to close the informative Board messages that appear on the screen (example below). Although they only appear for 3-4 seconds, it can be frustrating when trying to work quickly as sometimes the next button you want to click is behind this message. It would be helpful to be able to…

Return zero values in First Value and Last Value functions
The First Value and Last Value functions return the first/last non zero value. I suggest the introduction of two functions that return the first/last value even if it is zero. The goal is to have the first/last value of the selected period regardless if it is zero or not. E.g.: when looking at a warehouse stock level I…

Customize toolbars for dynawrite objects
It would be great if we could customize the toolbars in the text boxes for dynawrite objects. For example we dont want users to insert tables and we want them to use the same font size/style in all texts. In this case we would like to restrict the format options available to users.

Rich text box with a character limit please
Currently there are two choices, either a text field where the user can enter some plain text or a rich text box that creates an RTF. Could we have an RTF text box with controls on the number of characters the user can enter. For example, as the admin I’d decide to limit a text box to 4000 characters. The user would enter…

Smart Import Enhancement
The last releases contained a lot of news about the Smart Import Object. The functions that the object now brings with it are great. Still, I would like to see two more features: moving columns (without having to rename and remap columns every time a new column is added in between.if rows are rejected, it would be great if…

"Expand Above" in Data View
Hello, Version: B12.6 In data views with more than one entity per row, headers are automatically added for each entity used. Like so: However, if we want to have the summation going [b]down[/b], a subtotal at the bottom is required. This means that we end up with an empty header row, which just takes up space. My…

Show cubes with data entry in Impact Analysis
Problem When mapping out the flow of data in a Board application it's currently difficult to identify which cubes are open for on-screen data entry. Currently the only way to do this is to manually check through each screen in a capsule. This is particularly relevant when using cube-visibility for datamodel security.…
