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,…
Backup methods during the maintenance and operation phase
Hello. Currently, I am performing maintenance operations while having clients use capsules created with Board. I would like to take data backups as part of my regular work. As I understand it, the way to take backups in Board is to create a snapshot of the data model by making a copy of the files in a backup directory from…
Capsule Name Auto-Renaming
Hi everyone, We are currently experiencing an issue with our capsules. The problem involves capsules automatically renaming themselves periodically. When this happens, the first letters of words in the names are either capitalized or converted to lowercase randomly. Best regards, André
About the steps marked "Call procedure" in the procedure
Hello. When I executed a step within a procedure that called another procedure, the message in the attached image appeared and the step was not executed. I put the steps of the procedure I wanted to call in the procedure that was calling it, and the procedure ran without any problems. Why does this error occur? If anyone…
Auto Adjust of markers for Graphs
Hi Team, Suggest you to add feature of auto adjust for markers when we want to show comparison. In the picture shown below orange line is behind the red line, which hides my marker for that line. Add the feature so it shows both line markers properly. Thanks. Regards, Vishwajit
Improve folder/capsule display in navigation
Dear community, In the latest version Board 14.1, the names of the folders and capsules in the navigation pane can only reach a length of 28 approx. making the rest of the name not visible. The folder/capsule tile has enough space to display the full name, but seems not to be using the whole space of the tile, leaving a…
Automatic back-up scheduling
It would be useful to have the ability to schedule backup storage with variable frequency. In particular, in the administrator portal of the cloud environment, in the "capsule organizer / manager" section, it is preferable to have the possibility to automatically download via scheduling the .zip file which collects all the…
Error that table borders are not displayed
Hello. I have a problem where some of the borders on the left side of the data view I am creating are not visible. Please see the attached image for details. The left border is not displayed for industries colored in yellow. In another data view with the same template and settings, the borders are displayed correctly. For…
About data view color settings
Hello I would like the text color to be red if the value in the data view is negative, and black if it is greater than or equal to 0.With the settings in the attached image, the 0 character color is gray instead of black, and the negative numbers are also light red and dark red. Ideally, I would like to display numbers…
Capsule Procedure vs Datamodel Procedure
1. Abstract While developers are facing procedure creation, they need to understand when it is appropriate to use data model procedures vs Capsule procedures. 2. Context As developers, it is our responsibility to always keep the long-term maintainability of our solutions in mind. Procedures must be developed in a…
Object Formats Library/Bookmark
It would be nice have the capabity to save object formats in a library, similar to select bookmark. Adding an option in the copy/paste format drop down list that says "Save Format Bookmark" with also the capability to set a specific format as default for new objects (dataview, labels, etc…)
Add ability to multi-select columns in Block Format
Block formatting individual columns is a very time consuming job, and this would allow you to speed up the process a lot faster. You can currently multi select on the different rows, but it'd be very beneficial to CTRL+Left Click on the columns to format them together too. There are data views with over 100+ columns here…
Scheduled Capsule Backup to Z Drive
Hi All, I understood from support it is now possible to schedule snapshot of capsules in Board but still it is not possible to create scheduled capsule backups to the Azure Z drive. I would like to propose to have the possibility to create a procedure that performs capsule backups to the Z drive as this is the place where…
Capsule Browser visualization options
I would suggest to add some default view options for capsules browser: have the option to always view the navigation left panel have some standard options for default view in capsule menu, like in win explorer, e.g. small icons, big icons, list, details .. thanks
Having the Ability to Drill Down When Using Vertical Block Alignment in the Data View
Hello Currently, the drill-down feature is unavailable when using vertical alignment in the Data View. I suggest adding this functionality in the upcoming updates to enhance efficiency and improve the overall user experience. Thanks, Akrem

Snap to grid option for screen design
I'm sure this has been suggested before but I haven't been able to find anything on the exchange. Myself and many of my colleagues have expressed frustration in getting objects correctly aligned. Is there a chance that a 'Snap to grid' feature could be added in future builds? Similar to how a tool like Figma (or other EPM…
metadata-driven modeling with BAML (Board Application Markup Language)
This feature is inspired by BIML (Business Intelligence Markup Language). To develop a board-application you don’t need coding skills. That is really great for beginners! To develop a board-application is mostly to create or alter meta-data. For example create a new entity. Give them a name, group, id length, desc length…
Moving elements with the arrows on the keyboard
Hi! I think it would make screen design much easier if you could move the elements with the arrows on the keyboard, maybe to adjust the final pixels you need the side panel, but for the initial design it's much easier than with the mouse.
Recent Colors in Object Color Menu
Hi fellow Boardies, This is a suggestion for what may seem like a small, minor feature that I think could end up saving developers quite a bit of time during front-end development of an application. Frankly, I’m not exactly sure why it hasn’t been made available up to this point (but I’m no software developer, so excuse…
Dynamic filter on Layouts - for flags
Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to introduce dynamic filters for binary flags/indicator variable that only take values that are 0 or 1 and can be displayed as tickboxes on the dataview. For users that wish to filter for materials in a drill down for example, it would be super helpful if they were able to select…
MIN, MAX and Last Value in summary settings
When in a layout it would be great to have an option in the drop down for Last Value, Min and Max when looking at sub-totals. When we look at a rolling balance of inventory or finances, sometimes seeing the flow by week and then into month it would make sense to see the last value. Currently we can show total, average or…
Enable capsule security the same way we now have Folder security
Problem When users enter the Board main page, they would like to see all the capsules that they have access to in one place. These capsule cards can be customized nicely to show some preliminary information using sparkline/footer, they can be color coded, have backgrounds and icons. However, now, if we want to make sure…
Additional Features in Folder Security
Problem Statement: The users don't want to view all the capsules/ folders and instead would like to navigate from a main Landing capsule to all the other Capsules based on Go to Screen navigation procedures. Issue: The existing Folder security when applied so that the users don't have visibility for other folders, impacts…
Linking Scroll Bars - DataViews
How can we ensure that dataviews move simultaneously together if they are of the same width ? For example I would want the 3 bottom columns to move at the same time as the top as they are linked, but as it's 3 v 1 it tends to go out of sync.
Order of filtering in Layout Selection window overrides Custom Sort order ranking on Entities
Hi, I noticed that my custom sort for this entity was not being followed on the data view the way I ranked it in the data model (image 1). It took me a while to realise, but I wanted to make it aware that the order of ranking in the layout selection window overrides the Custom Sort. This is misleading. I believe the Custom…
Hardcode 'down total' formula to prevent it from referring to another block.
Hi, I've been having an issue where my 'Sales Mix (%)' calculation refers to a moving block from the layout, instead of maintaining the 'down total' function. To calculate 'Sales Mix (%)', I am using the algorithm: (Sales/Down Total (Sales))*100 or c/dt(c)% in the below example. The issue I am having is that the data view…
Add setting to allow horizontal display of "@Selection" substitution formula
In the image below, I'd like to display all of the selections horizontally on the grey banner, which is not possible using the substitution formula "@selection". Current workaround is to create multiple labels for each entity selected (8 in this example) and individually place them side by side on the banner which can be…
