This way they are registered for future consultation by other members of the Community. ⚠️ When a procedure is launched from a screen, it can be with a…

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…

Massive replace of Data Reader source
Hello everyone, It would be really useful to have the following functionality implemented in Board, as we would be able to have more flexibility and easily maintain the data models. Massively replace the source of non-text Data Readers. Why? The connection between a Data Reader and its Source is currently based on the name…

Impact Analysis - Data Lifecycle
If incorrect or no data is displayed in an existing report, a developer must find the cause. This can be very time-consuming, especially if the database is very large and or was developed by other colleagues. The aim of this feature is to support the developer in exactly this search. A first starting point is the impact…

Disable the sort action on the DB Log
Hi Team, We faced this issue multiple times with many partners, where the database logs are being sorted (either by mistake or to check something). Group by logs could be useful, but the database logs sorting always adds to the confusion. thanks, Aniket

Annotation of Entities, Cubes, Data Reader and other Database structures
I wish there was a way to annotate entities, cubes, data readers, and other database structures as there is for procedure steps. This would enrich the in-system documentation for developers and could eliminate the need for out-of-system technical documentation. Documentation would thus be made faster and more efficient.

Warning Message in the Board Application when Max Item number has reached
Hi Team, could we have some sort of a warning message or a notification (in the Board application UI) when any of the entities are at 100% or have crossed the 100% saturation. There have been instances in projects when the entities have crossed beyond 100% like at 120% and the implementation team or the users are unaware…

Is there a simple way to rename a data model name (in bulk) in call procedures?
Hi all, I'm wondering if there is an easy solution to rename the data model name in call procedures in bulk. I've just read the best practice with regards to data model names, and it's to bad that during the implementation of BOARD (years ago) we didn't take this into account. While implementing BOARD, the consultant used…

How to manage mapping Data Entry
1. Abstract In many cases, mappings are used to control processes. Mostly, these are mappings between entities that cannot be implemented in the standard relationships (hierarchies) for various reasons (e.g. they are not n:1 relationships, or the hierarchical trees would become too large to be useful from a performance…

Impact Analysis update of information
Good morning, Our team would like to know if there's a method to update the impact analysis information. We have verified some cases where a name of a procedure or a screen is changed manually but this is not reflected in the impact analysis, which still shows the previous name. We believe having seen this for other…

Synchronize multiple data model
1. Abstract In the case of an architecture with several data models, the synchronization process may be required to update metadata and data. Defining which data model should be the master and how to set up synchronization is of primary importance. 2. Context In complex and cross-functional applications, having a single…

The Backup Mentality
1. Abstract Each Board environment should foresee an appropriate backup policy for the existing Data Models, should it be a development, sandbox or production environment. Such backup policy must always be present and it should be developed on top of the standard backup policies implemented by the cloud team for disaster…

How to Edit the Max Item Number
1. Abstract The Entity ‘Max Item Number’ is used to reference data stored in a Cube version. It determines how the data pages are physically stored and influences performance as much as dataflow execution. 2. Context The amount of master data will increase during an application lifetime, so having a review process of the…

How to Remove Obsolete Entity Members
1. Abstract Are you allowed to delete Entity items? What should you consider when deleting an Entity? There are different options to make deletions, like Entity extract or reload, or assigning to a dedicated dummy parent. It’s important to understand the best way to do it since both solutions have different effects. 2.…
