Block Configuration Pane Behavior
Current Issue: After clicking "Save," the pane remains open, requiring developers to click a separate "Close" button to return to the layout. Impact: While this may seem like a minor issue, it results in an extra click each time changes are made. This can accumulate significantly when working on larger layouts. Proposed…

Entity Removal in Layout Axis Configuration
In Board's layout axis configuration, removing multiple entities from an axis can be cumbersome due to the inconsistent positioning of the "X" button used for removal. Current Issue: The "X" button is located on the far right of each entity. Its position shifts based on the length of the entity's name, making it tedious to…

Highlight Non-Existent Folders in Profile Security Permissions
It would be helpful to add a red color highlight or similar visual indicator to the list of folders in profile security settings to easily identify folders that no longer exist in Board but are still linked to a user profile's permissions. These "orphaned" folders continue to appear in the permissions list even though they…

SVG Image Support with Customizable Colors
Objective: Enhance image integration in Board by supporting SVG file types and allowing color customization of SVG elements. Currently, developers can add various image formats to their screens, but the lack of SVG support limits flexibility and adaptability. SVGs are vector-based images, ideal for high quality and…

Selective Paste Options for Layouts
In Board, when using the "Copy Layout" function from one table to another dataview, I’ve noticed that the formatting settings also transfer along with the layout. While the aim here is to replicate the structural layout alone, the copied formats often introduce unintended design issues: Unwanted Colors: For instance,…

User Profile Quick Access Button
In the "Users" admin page, adding a quick-access button to open a selected user’s profile directly would save admins time and streamline navigation. This feature would be similar to other quick-access buttons already present in Board, like those in Impact Analysis and Call Procedure steps, where users can jump directly to…

Organization of Custom Links with Folder-Like Buttons
This proposal aims to improve the management and accessibility of custom links within Board by introducing folder-like buttons in the “Links” section. Currently, custom links are contained in a single "Links" folder-like button in the Board menu, which can become cluttered as more links are added. By allowing users to…

Mask Levels for Enhanced Screen Design Management
This proposal aims to improve the management of screen designs in Board by introducing a mask levels/priority feature, which would streamline the development process and reduce redundancy. Currently, many developers face the challenge of creating screens that share a similar design while needing to accommodate specific…
-
Enhanced Block Format
Currently, managing block formats in Board is cumbersome due to the inability to perform a general reset of format settings for row types or across multiple blocks simultaneously. Users often find themselves adjusting colors, fonts, and other customizations individually, which can be especially time-consuming for larger…

Copy/Paste Tool for Data Reader's ETL
This proposal introduces a copy and paste functionality for ETL configurations within Data Reader objects in Board. Currently, when working with multiple Data Readers, developers often face the tedious task of manually configuring each ETL setting individually, which in some cases, is common for some Data Readers. This…

Dynamic Data View Block Headings?
Hi, I would like to ask everyone: what options do we have when we wish for dynamic headers in our data views? My client is still in Board12, but we have a Board14 upgrade planned for the near future. Specific issue: the client would like to have a report that has dynamic headers with regards to months and versions. There…

How to track flexgrid layouts performance in the logs ?
Hi all, everything is in the title, I'm looking for a way to monitor the performance of flexgrid layouts in B14 the way we do it for dataview layouts, but I did not find anything in the logs so far. Any idea? Thanks, Etienne

B14 - bring back the enable button for data blocks options in the layout editor
These buttons exist in B12 but were removed in B14. They significantly reduce the amount of clicks needed to remove set options from a block. In the case of the detail by it is difficult to even find the reset option at all.

Smart Import trigger procedure - how to select based on the items present in the import ?
Hi all, I'm faced with an interesting issue when using Smart Import. We have setup an object so that users can import values from an Excel file. This is in addition to a screen where they can enter manually the values. In the basic data entry screen (based on layout then), there is a trigger which executes a currency…

Board 14: Please bring back the possibility to change the screen fit mode in design mode
With Board 14 the possibilty is vanished to adjust the applied fit mode in design mode. You can only change the screen fitting when you are in play mode. In our opinion working in an actual size mode is not always the most efficient way, especially when arranging screen elements or when the enviroment background with an…

Enhanced Password Policy Configurations for Board 14 On-Premise Installations
With the release of the latest version of Board (14.1.0.0.208107), I noticed the new feature allowing users to change their own passwords on On-Premise installations. While this is a positive step toward enhancing user autonomy, it also introduces potential security concerns. Problem: In previous versions, password…

Automatic Profile Security Update When Renaming Folders in Board
We propose that profile security should automatically update when changes are made to the platform. Specifically, when a capsule folder is renamed using the "Rename" option in Board, the system should reassign the folder's permissions to the new name across all user profiles that previously had access to it. This way,…

B14: Make better use of whitespace in procedure editor--adjust column width
Hi Team, whenever you're editing a procedure in B14—there's so much whitespace in between the columns "Action", "Detail" and "Note" which could be used better. One option would be to make the column widths adjustable (actions usually don't need that much space, but notes do for documentation reasons). Have a look at this…

Add the option to vertically align column headers
Hi Team, whenever we build screens for presentation purposes (this applies to other screens as well, but the setting is of much higher value in presentations), we notice the behaviour that column headers for blocks using "detail by" or where the block's heading is set to "@selection" are not vertically centered but rather…

B14: Add the possibility to comment on procedure groups
Hi Team, since it is now possible in B14 to collapse/expand groups of procedure steps (which is much appreciated), it would be really helpful if those groups could be commented on as well. This would help in understanding what a specific group is supposed to do even when the group itself is collapsed. Thus, it wouldn't be…

B14: Display correct information in If-Then-Else step
Hi Team, whenever an If-Then-Else step is created in a B14 procedure the system doesn't display the information correctly: The display in the list of actions will look like this Please display the information correctly and add the "Else"-information (whenever there is an else-step). Currently, the information is updated…

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…

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…
