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…
Is it possible to select the years shown in the columns via selection in a Gantt Chart?
I have two date cube dimensioned by task that I need to visualise as a Gantt Chart. Now, I want to not show all the years but restrict it to only a few, however when I select years in the time dimension it does not restrict the shown years in the Gantt Chart. Is there a way to select the years I want to show?
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
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…
Paste a selection from e.g. excel
Hi, a possibility where I can select e.g. several customers by simply posting a list of customer numbers from an excel into the selector would be amazing. Checking a number of, lets say, 100 customers currently forces you to search and select them one by one (for an enduser). Therefore a copy paste solution from an…
Selector : members keep showing on top when making a search
Hello, For now, when you use a Selector with the option "Grouped at the top" for the "Show active members", when you make a search, members already selected does not keep shown at the top, as shown in the capture. I think it would be convenient to have an option that allows memers to be kept at te top even when we make a…
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…
Add Bookmark on Interactive Selection
Hello, We think it can be helpful to add a "+ Bookmark" button on Interactive Selection from a procedure as it already exists on the Selector object. Selector object : Interactive Selection :
Error On-screen selection (cont.)
We're facing the same problem as this issue, but I have not been able to solve it with the same workaround. 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. I have certainly created paent-child…
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.

Extension of dynamic selection
At the moment, the dynamic selection is based on one cube. So an element of an entity is selected if there is a value for this element in the cube and vice versa. In my opinion this functionality could be improved by: the user is able to create the condition (referring to one cube) himself, for example: if(x>3,1,0) the…

Enhancing Data Entry: Refer-To & Layout Selections
We suggest adding the ability to modify data entry cubes in a data view when refer-to and/or layout selections are present. This would allow for: Simplifying the design of data entry templates Reducing the size of the data model as it would require fewer cubes. Implementing this feature would not only enhance user…
Label subtitution formulas to view a layout selection on a specific entity
Hello using substitution formulas I can highlight in a label the selection for a specific entity. e.g. @Year returns the selected year. But, as far as I understand, if I want to show a layout selection I can only use @Selection_Ex(Layout="Layout_Title") without the capability to choose one entity Is there any way to obtain…
Enable "@[entityname]" for the file path/file name in Data Readers and Extract Steps
1. What is your idea? Enable "@[entityname]" for the file path in Data Readers and Extract Steps also. For the new REST API call step this is already possible. 2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to? If a procedure is used for the export and subsequent…
Increased flexibility when using dynamic selections
Hi, it would be helpful to be able to use one or more conditions when using dynamic selections. This means, after having selected a cube, to have the option to create a condition with regard to the values in the cube, for example "=1" or ">2" or "and(>2,<5)".

UBH - Using dependancies in Procedures

However, these dependancies can NOT be used in Procedures. It could be usefull to easily calculate the weight of a member Vs its direct parent.…
REST API - Execute Procedure with Selection
Selections are an elementary concept for controlling procedures in Board. When starting a procedure from a screen, a start selection is usually passed with it. We need this possibility also, if we start a procedure over the rest Api. The selection could be passed in the body as JSON. Currently only the database name and…
Selector : Add Exclude option in pop-up mode
Currently, with a selector in vertical mode users have the choice to change the "selection mode" from Include to Exclude : However, for a selector in pop-up the Exclude option isn't available : Unlike in the screen selector : It would be nice to have the Exclude option added to Selector in pop-up mode as in screen…
Mandatory dimensions / consistency checks in quick layout
Context - When designing data entry screens, we are often in the situation where we want to give a maximum flexibility to the end user to choose the most relevant axis. Quick layout is great for that. Issue - However we often have the situation where at least one dimension is mandatory, otherwise figures don't make sense.…
"Run as administrator" option for "Advanced broadcast rule"
From my point of you it would make sense if there would also be a "Run as administrator" option for the broadcast function "Advanced broadcast rule" so that the developer can explicitly run the broadcast function without (previously removed) security selections. Right now there is no such option so the broadcast function/…
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…

Drill Anywhere Options: "Drill To" vs "Go To"
1 . Abstract The Drill Functions provide several interactive options, which are: Drill anywhere, Drill-down, Drill-to screen, Drill-procedure. In design mode, interacting with the ‘Drill-to screen’ feature, either in a Data View or in a Chart, there are some notable differences regarding ‘Drill-to screen’ and ‘Go-to…
Adding "Apply entity selection to screen"
Hey, when e.g. using "fake" selectors on screens to add different selections based on cube like currency on a country selection etc. you always have to use the "Apply selection to screen" option. This "apply selection to screen" then always overwrites the "default" selection when resetting selections on different entites…
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…
