Enhance the DataView Layout SORT function
Currently DataView layouts can only sort by ONE block/entity. It would be helpful to be able to apply a sort using several blocks. For example, where a client's data has 3 levels - eg Site, Floor, and Work Area and you wish the report to sort by Site, then Floor then Work Area descriptions, and the date the Work Area was…
Hierarchy of entities in the select tab
Hi all, I highly suggest to change the views of the select (by screen). Now it is by design so users can’t see the hierarchy of entities like in relationships section. It would be great to open the select in the screen and see the real hierarchy and not seeing entity by design. Thanks! Valentina
Dynamic Header Dataview
Hi! At the moment we are able to view entity-selections in a lable. It be a huge relief to use the function within the dataview as dynamic headers instead of using ctrl-cubes.
Cube description
add the possibility to have a description for each cube in the Cube-Admin section. Description should also be visible to users.
Configure layout block for quick layout
My first scenario is related to multiannual budgeting. Most of our users have excels with collapsed column for months of the history/next years. They expand to months level when they want to go in detail. We can show data for year, but when a user want to budget monthly level she can show another block "Detailed by" Month.…
Capsule transporter / Diff tool
Hi, 1. What is your idea? Add a tool, similar to the Transporter, to analyze differences between two versions of a capsule 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? It often happens that we need to double check the differences between two versions of the…
Allow temporary cubes to be used in IfThenElse
In Board 11.2 the new functionality of temporary cube is available to allow intermediate calculation to be made and stored during a dataflow execution. However these temporary cubes are not available in the IfThenElse functionality. It would be a good addition to Board to allow these temporary cubes to be considered in…
@Selection by tree
Hi all, Context In our current situation, very often I need to display the current Selection in the screen, so I use @Selection function in a general manner. In some other cases I want to display a specific one, so I use the @Entity. However sometimes I need to display the selection for a given tree (that can have 30…
(Git) Versioncontrol of Board-Database-Schema
Problem to solve Currently, it is a difficult task to carefully document a database schema. Often this task is postponed until later or is completely forgotten. Even if there is documentation, it is often not available centrally in one place for all project participants, but distributed in different places with different…
Warning message before loading a DB in memory
Hi all, following our discussion here: Full RAM Mode / Benchmarking : how much time does it take to load your DB in RAM ? Issue In a development environment, we are often in the situation where we have to duplicate databases to carry out testing, parallel developments, and so on. A number of similar and big databases can…
Database profile - Avoid reload of database
Dear all, The database is systematically reloaded after a DB profile modification / creation. On my side I have a very huge DB (160 Gb) and reloading the DB takes a long time (about 20 minutes) and freezes the Board server for end users. So when you have several profiles to modify, we are blocking users for a long time. It…
Sorting options in a Dataview
I am often missing more options when it comes to sorting the data in a Dataview. What I would love is something similar to Excel, where you can choose several columns for sorting your data. I am aware that you can choose if an entity gets sorted by ID or Description or sort data based on a cube, but there are times when…
Quick Layout: Ability to determine which blocks can be visible/hidden to users
Hi R&D, The current quick layout configuration allows users to hide/unhide all visible blocks within the layout. I am suggesting that developers should have the option to determine which blocks appear in the quick layout configuration (same concept that exists for entities in the axes configuration). In the particular use…
New screen object: Multi-Selector
Hi All, during a presentation of a process mining tool I saw a pretty neat object and thought that maybe this could be replicated in Board: A selector that allows you to choose the entity you want use in a drop-down. What could this look like? The object would be divided into an upper and a lower part. In the upper part…
Exclude based on cube
Hello everyone, should it be possible to implement something not only to select based on cube but also to exclude based on cube? In the development of both screens and, mostly, procedures, this could be very helpful! Thanks in advance to anyone who will reply or join or edit my idea! Marco
Collapse & Drill by columns
Often we experience the need to create huge reports that contain several blocks with entities by column. This kind of layouts can generate an high number of columns, and this could have an impact on performances and usability as well. In the following example, having two cubes and two years selected, the detail by month…
Add "Inverse" checkbox on "Select entity based on cube"
1. What is your idea? Add "Inverse" checkbox on "Select entity based on cube" 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? Exemple of use: * Display members that are yet to be done, to be inputed, or yet not processed in the workflow * Display member that…
Block(s) copy in layout/dataview
1) Copy&Paste a block is really usefull because configure each one is really wasted time comsuming (ReferTo, TimeFunctions, Format, etc...) as it is possible in Desktop client. 2) Also, copy&Paste block format would save lot of time 3) As now it is possible to copy&paste several steps in a procedure, why it is not…
Presentations - Folder-Structure / Categorization
As we are having already a lot of Presentations in use, it would be great to have a possibility for structuring Presentation via Folders, Categories, Tags or similiar. Currently they are all in one list, which is getting soon very confusing. Also a search function would be great.
Monitor sparsity in B12
Hi, It would be good to have a section to monitor sparsity in B12 (in particular in the Cloud) - like we use to have in B10. Monitoring by cube, as currently available, is not efficient. Thanks. Bests, Quentin
Files to tidy up the presentation
Let the users create some files in presentation menu to have a better view in the menu
Tables expand dynamically to fit screen
1) What is your idea? Enable all Board elements and screens to expand dynamically to fill a user's screen based on their screen resolution rather than having, for example, tables as isolated elements with their own navigation. 2) What specific problem are you trying to resolve? Tables and other Board elements only take up…
Improved database security change time
I have been complained by users that the database security change time is long. The current status of users is as follows. ?It takes a minute and a half to change only one entity. ?Scheduled to change once a month ?There are about 10 profiles and manage 12 entities. The user planned to refine the profile to about 100, but…
The scroll bar in the data view
The scroll bar in the data view is small. I want a resizing function.
Add block specific selection ability
Hello, currently with the web solution, we can apply selections for the screen and within the layout of a data view. However, all selections are applied to all blocks of the layout. Because of that, it is very complicated to design a data view with showing actuals, a current forecast and / or plan periods. Especially if I…
Make the Portal time format work even if the server is using 12h time format
Currently all logged events in "operating system events" shows the wrong time half of the day. If a failed login attempt happens at 2pm it shows as 02:00:00 in the web portal. This is a bug and not really an improvement suggestion, but Board support told me to register it as an idea here anyway.
Fit size of chart legend elements
The size of the legend elements in charts always depends on the length of the longest element. Thus the legend elements are always equally distributed within the legend. However if you only have a few elements in the legend with very different lengths it might look weird. E.g. you have two blocks "Costs" and "Number of…
Cartesian: custom (corporate) color style
Hi! Currently we are able to choose between different custom Color styles within the Cartesian objects. Nevertheless a custom style is missing, which would simplify to implent corporate styles.
Export Data Model Structure to Excel
When we create the data model documentation or when is necessary to analyze the data model is very useful to export the Impact Analysis result or from the data model, would be very useful to have one action that exports the "cube/entities/data readers/procedures" list, therefore is very useful to create documents based on…
Totals on top of each group
Hello, currently checking the Dataview Option "View Total on Expanded Group" the totals are shown both on top and bottom of each group. It would be nice to choose where to show the totals (on top OR bottom of each group).
