Display Cube Dimensions in Dynamic Selection
Hello Board Team, I’d like to suggest a UX improvement for screens that use dynamic selections based on a cube. 👉 Current limitation: When using a dynamic selection linked to a cube, it’s currently not possible to see which dimensions (entities) are used in that cube from the screen configuration. This makes it harder to…

Simplify Selection of Descendants in Unbalanced Hierarchies

Automated Email Notifications for Broadcasting Module
Automation is really important these days because it saves time and helps teams work better. That’s why I think it’s sad that customers using the Broadcasting Module in Board can’t get automatic email notifications through API users, Scheduled Jobs, or Batch processes. It would be great to have email alerts sent…

Data Model Package: filter out entity & cube position switch
When creating data model packages for databases with numerous entities and cubes, the 'changes' list often includes a large number of position-only updates. For example, my last package had 102 entity changes, with 98 of them being solely positioning updates. This makes it difficult to identify meaningful changes. Please…

Board 14 - Confusing design tooltip border in layout

Ability to Set a Data Entry Trigger in drill down popup
Currently the Data-Entry Trigger can be set only by the master data-view , it will be good to set a custom data entry trigger specifically designed for the drill-down popup. For now, we can work around the issue using 'Drill to Screen', but it would be interesting to have this capability within the 'Drill Down' itself.

No transfer of selections made in play mode into design mode without having been asked
Other than in the versions before, Board 14 transfers temporary selections done in the play mode automatically to design mode when switching to design mode. This very quickly leads to the screen being saved incorrectly (with the wrong standard selection) if you are not very careful. And this results in a lot of extra work…

Smart Import should accept the uploading of zero
Currently, in Excel if I enter a zero "0" as a value, when I upload using Smart Import, it says it is successful but no value appears in the app. It is as though Board (Smart Import) doesn't know the difference between a null and zero! This is a very big pain for us where users often need to upload zero as a valid…
