improve bullet chart object formatting
Hello, I suggest these improvements for the bullet chart object for Board 14.x: provide ability to display a char title (e.g. taking the layout title) as it is possible for the cartesian chart. provide ability to let the developer select the place where the label of the axis dimension is shown (currently it is only above…
Responsive selector's member size
Dear community, In the latest versions of Board, the space needed for Selector objects to display its members has increased. Back in Board 10 for example, Selector's members didn't need as much space as it does now, having the ability to display several more members than now with the same object size. Additionally, the…
hide screen list enabled - open screen in new tab for developers in dev mode
If a capsule has the screen list deactivated it would be helpful that if developer is already in dev-mode on a screen wants to open another screen in a new tab that this screen can directly be opened in dev mode. Right now the home screen gets opened in play mode instead (which is the correct behavior for consumers only)
Quality of life improvements for charts
Pretty sure there are some more points to improve within the chart component but here are 3 proposals to add, as we often see them as requirements in our projects. While it is possible to achieve the desired results with the existing toolset, it could be easier to implement and therefore also easier to explain to customer…
corporate identity: add custom color palette, custom chart color theme, pin recent color
Hello, My idea is to develop further the implementation of the corporate identity in Board capsules. The screens' mask is already very helpful. The colors management could be improved. It is currently not possible to apply brand colors in charts for example. Current color features Currently, Board provides: a standard…
Show all values in chart labels
Hey, is there any chance, that we can tell the chart to show all the values of each series regardless of its size? Here is an example:
Error On-screen selection
Hello, I am having trouble because even though I have narrowed down the entities displayed by screen selection, entities that are not selected in the data view are also displayed. There is more than one user experiencing this phenomenon, and even within the same capsule there are DataViews with and without this phenomenon.…
More 'on-screen tips' formatting options in Board 14
Idea: Add additional formating options for the 'on-screen tips' on screen objects: Font/icon size → allow us to change the size of the on-screen tip button Background border → allow us to change the background border to any color (including transparant) Remove background → allow us to remove background in its entirity…
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…
SVG-Icons for Entities
I suggest the possibility to add own SVG icons to entities. This makes it possible to display them instead of or in addition to code/description in selectors, diagrams and dataviews. This option is particularly interesting for grouping entities, workflow entities or other static entities. It is important that these can be…
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…
Entity editor
If you place the Entity Editor and the Data View on the same page, you will not be able to see the contents of the Data View. How do I put them on the same page?
Object names for Panel & Tab
In the Screens Object list, it would be helpful if you could see the name of the Panel & Tab. In this case, to figure out which Panel you want to work with, you would need to count the panels to figure out its position. Linking the Panel/Tab name would be helpful.
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…
activate Layout for Panel Container
The Panel Container is great for grouping other Toolbox-items like Label, Button, Dataview and so on. The Expander Container is a good choice to store many items on limited space. Together they are very powerfull. Espacially on admin-screens and Dashboards. I miss the Option to hide a panel container inside a Expander…

Broadcasting - Formating Orientation
it would be great if there are more formatting options when presentations are getting sent out via broadcasting —> similiar to the options when exporting a screen to PDF (Header and Footer, Orientation (landscape or portrait) etc.
Simultaneous Editing of Multiple Blocks: Harnessing Mixed Value in Block Format
Unlock a new level of efficiency with the ability to edit multiple blocks simultaneously using the Mixed Value
Select a row template per block to overwrite the row header template
Dear all, It's usual to have a row header format and a column format (for data) that are different. It would be nice to be able to apply to Blocks another format / template than the row headers.
Add a way to maintain Master Layout selection after procedure ran and refreshed data in the screen
Currently, when you have a Master Layout in your screen and the have data entry enable in either the master dataview or a slave dataview, you will only keep the Master Layout selection if you use a default "Save data entry". If any procedure is required to do some calculation and therefor you need to refresh some…
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…
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.
Dataview - Dynamic Underline
In our Dataview we have oppurtunity to add a underline to highlight a column. The options are static and can't be influenced by shown data. I dream of a dynamic underline like our Alarm-Feature. Depending on block-values or another block a underline or different underlines could be shown. Example: In a Forecast-Report i…
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…
