Screen Design

Add in "Layout settings" an option for the user to select how to display entity members.
Hello @Product Management Team , I would like to share an idea from a customer that could be helpful for dataviews. I don't think I found another article with the same precise request. Functional requirement and known limitation : Let the "User" visualize the entity members "by row" (or "by column") with a different…
How to group selectors using tabs with vertical display
1. Abstract When developers encounter the need to segregate sets of selectors on a screen, the utilization of the tab object can be advantageous but presents challenges, particularly when dealing with limited screen space. This is because tabs are inherently designed for horizontal display by default. Tabs are originally…
Month Selection in the Drill To Screen
Hi BOARD Team, I created a drill to screen If I double click Jan.24 column in the graph, then it will take me to a new screen with the same selection. In the new screen, it will only show Jan.24 which is the same month as I drilled through. But I want to show two month before and two month after Jan.24 to provide some…
Add full HTML Support for on-screen tips and labels
Hi @Product Management Team , it would be really nice if help text boxes (on-screen tips) understood HTML just like message boxes. Consider the following example: (notice that you can use italic in a label, but not bold) A standard message box offers more HTML support In an on-screen tip it's much worse—that would look…
Add Filter to a screen
Hi all, I have Screen1 and Screen2, in which i want to apply the same filter for Entity. Through a procedure I managed to apply the same filter (that we can call "Deal") to both Screen1 and Screen2, by selecting it from the Screen1. Keeping in mind that Screen2 is already filtered for "month", when i apply the filter…
Configuring Entity Selections to Apply Only to Charts, Not Data View Grid
Hello Team, I have a page with entity selectors, corresponding charts, and a data view. However, I need these selections to apply only to the charts, not to the data view grid. In other words, they should not sync with the grid. How can I implement this?
Object Effects: Transitions
This proposal seeks to improve the "Effects" section by introducing a variety of transition effects to complement the existing "Object Opacity" feature. Current Issue: Currently, when an object set to 0% opacity is hovered over, it suddenly appears, which can be visually abrupt, making the element seem to pop out of…
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…

Enhancing Coloring Features in Board
This post groups several ideas aimed at improving color functionalities in Board to create a more efficient and user-friendly design experience. Color Wheel & Eye Dropper One significant enhancement would be transforming the eyedropper icon in the color picker into a true eyedropper tool, enabling users to select colors…
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,…
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…
Charts title on screen objects in design mode
Hello, It is a small detail but I realized chart objects as cartesian and pie charts layout titles are not displayed in the screen object section in design mode. It would be a nice to have to differentiate the graphs by its layout title just like dataviews and labels in case of having multiple cartesian charts or charts…
Enhance interactive capabilities with modal screens
Dear @Product Management Team ! The idea is that the user's interactivity with the application could be significantly improved if developers had the option of defining modal screens. This refers to sub-screens that are displayed ‘above’ the current screen, can be resized and offer the same interaction options and…
Link Selectors/Pagers to Objects on the Screen to increase flexibility
1. What is your idea? Currently there is the possibility to have selections for all objects on the screen. In addition, only directly in the Layout can be done a selection for this one object. The Idea is, to give the end user of a screen the possibility to do different selections to different objects on the screen using…
Homepage Trigger
Hello! I think it would be very useful to have triggers also on the homepage of the capsules. The client would like to modify the capsule navigation and the information available on the home screen depending on the type of user that enters the screen (relationship that we have stored in a cube). As we do not have the…
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…
Split&Splat functionality extension to even/repeated distribution
Hi, I wish to have the split&splat functionality broadened, so it is not only able to split values according to the existing proportions, but have the ability to repeat the value, or to spread it evenly onto all leaf elements that are open for data entry. It would be excellent if developers could set what kind of…
Show certain layout blocks as single column, even with entities by column
Sometimes you'd want a certain block displayed as a single column an others displayed per element in the entities by column. This could for example be a budget for the year and than the actuals by month. The way we have always achieved this is kind of an awkward work-around. For the block that should be a single column we…
How to create a Kanban board

Use Procedure to dynamic select value for LAYOUT
Hi BOARD Team, I understand we can use procedure to achieve dynamic selection for Data Block reference. Can I do the same to make a selection to LAYOUT? Thanks
Can I specify the position of data label and change the color?
Hi BOARD team, I had a chat as following with primary axis (Bar) and secondary axis (line). I choose to show data label for both. At some months, those two numbers will overlap. Can I force the data label for the bar showing inside the Bar? Can I choose color for the data label? It seems like it is only default to black.…
How to replace this board logo with company logo?
Hi Board Team, Can I replace this board logo with our company logo? Could you please tell me how? Thanks
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…
Visibility of tab item
If the content of a tab item is not visible anymore (due to "Object Settings/Dynamic Options/Visibility"), the tab item itself is still visible: The additional option to hide the tab item itself, in case the related content is not visible anymore, would be helpful:
Grid Container
This idea is inspired by CSS Grid. The aim is to give our users more control over what they want to focus on. There should be a new container object. This will be configured by our board developers as follows. 1. define grid Number of columns Number of rows Examples: 2x2, 4x2, 6x4,... 2. add objects Any number of objects…
Flexgrid design customization - Need more options for a compact look
Hi all, Context I'm probably not the only one, but I'm missing some design options in the new Flexgrid object, especially regarding cell sizing. Indeed the default design takes too much space, with very big cell margins above and below the data. Reducing font size does not really solve the problem. Compared to an…
