Entity format with multiple entities within a dataview
There are situations when the customer asks for entity format to be applied when there are multiple entities by rows (for example parents of an entity or groupings of different ones). As we all know, the entity formatting works only when we have a single entity by row, and the moment another entity is added there is a…
Enhanced presentation functionality
Hi! I am perhaps a less advanced user, but with power user license. We are exploring ways to use presentations for various purposes, and haven't found good workarounds yet. The enhanced functionalities we think will improve the board experience are as follows: * Being able to write comments directly into presentations…
DEFAULT SETTINGS IMPROVEMENTS
Hi community I've identified some areas that in my opinion could be slighly improved to make development more efficient. here they are: 1. When a new ascii data reader is being created, the dafult path is always C:\Board\... even if the default server path is e.g. D: \Board...It would be nice if the sugegsted path in data…
Default option resize
Currently the screen resize option when opening a new screen is "fit width" as default. This however is not really valid for all models / capsules / devices. If you use any of the other options and navigate, you have to constantly change the screen resize option afterwords. It would be great if one of these options could…
Create an overview for all available presentations
Hi all, It would be very helpful if there was an option to view all current presentations on the Board Server and who are the users of this presentation. We are preparing to enable SSO login for all users in combination with the subscription hub. But because we need to create new users, they lose their access to the…
Column Size for Entities, Cubes, Data readers is too small
Hello, I'm a developer and have only experience with the cloud versions. As a developer I do this many many times a day, namely making the columns of entities, cubes and data readers bigger to see the whole name whereas there other columns that are shown which are almost never used but nevertheless using screen space. Is…
Always display list members in the same order
Hello, Lists displaying screens, procedures, etc., are not always sorted in the same way. One time it is by alphabetical order, another time it is by order of creation. Example: Action call procedure --> by order of creation Button calling a procedure --> alphabetical order. Please choose a type of display because it is a…
[Datareader] Show the filename of the possible files in the DataReader tabs of the database.
Self explanatory, but do not shorten with "..."
Turn off automatic search in name search in Entities/Cubes list
1. What is your idea? Currently when you search name in entities/cubes screen, if you start to type name in the search field, Board search name and filter the list immediately. It would be good if we can turn off this automatic search and search will be triiger after pushing enter key. 2. What specific problem are you…
WEB configure Layout : authorize copy of block and change of cube
Hi all, Maybe somebody else mentioned this already but just to be sure... we are currently testing and explaining to some key users the benefits of version 10.5 for the configure layout in the web version. Two key features of the client are missing : * the possibility to copy a block to a new block; * the possibility to…
Using both rules and a hierarchy in a presentation by row
Hi all, Very often in our design choices we face a choice between a hierarchy model and a "flat" model, as explained in the knowledge base article Alternative approaches to modelling Finance Reporting in BOARD Most of the time we can manage with one approach or the other, but in some cases it leads to something more…
Improvement of layout configuration - structure defintion for rows and columns
Hello community, in our reporting process we are usually - in a "standard data view setup" - using the "Key-Figure-Entity" that is displayed by row. The column structure is basically defined by the block definitions, no additional "by column" entities are used. In this context the row structure is always very dynamic,…
FREE TEXT FIELD in Entities/Cubes/DR panels
Dear all I would find useful have available a free text field in entities/cubes/data reader panels. Just to add some notes, that can help the developer in further developments and maintenance activities of the database, especially in large and complex projects. thanks
Entity Search
When using a "selector" or "detailed by" in a layout there is no real search function for the entities. Also, the drop down field showing the entities is very small showing only around 6 entities. It would be much more user friendly if everywhere the "search" function is used as in the procedure.
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…
