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…
Visible Options Based on User Permissions & Improve Keyboard Shortcuts Pane
This proposal seeks to enhance user experience and simplify navigation in Board by: Hiding Advanced Options for Basic Users Just as the "Design Mode (F4)" option is hidden for users without access, other advanced options tailored for power users or administrators should also be hidden for basic users. For example, several…
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…
Entity Removal in Layout Axis Configuration
In Board's layout axis configuration, removing multiple entities from an axis can be cumbersome due to the inconsistent positioning of the "X" button used for removal. Current Issue: The "X" button is located on the far right of each entity. Its position shifts based on the length of the entity's name, making it tedious to…
Highlight Non-Existent Folders in Profile Security Permissions
It would be helpful to add a red color highlight or similar visual indicator to the list of folders in profile security settings to easily identify folders that no longer exist in Board but are still linked to a user profile's permissions. These "orphaned" folders continue to appear in the permissions list even though they…
Custom SVG Shapes in Labels
Objective: Improve the customization of label objects in Board by implementing several key changes. Requested Enhancements: Expanded Shape Catalog: Increase the selection of predefined shapes. Support for Custom SVG Shapes: Allow developers to upload custom SVG shapes, with the ability to customize multiple colors within…
SVG Image Support with Customizable Colors
Objective: Enhance image integration in Board by supporting SVG file types and allowing color customization of SVG elements. Currently, developers can add various image formats to their screens, but the lack of SVG support limits flexibility and adaptability. SVGs are vector-based images, ideal for high quality and…
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,…
User Profile Quick Access Button
In the "Users" admin page, adding a quick-access button to open a selected user’s profile directly would save admins time and streamline navigation. This feature would be similar to other quick-access buttons already present in Board, like those in Impact Analysis and Call Procedure steps, where users can jump directly to…
Not more than one custom icon for capsules?
Good morning, I have copied a capsule, associated it to another data model and changed the custom icon it had in the first place. Now the copied capsule and the original capsule align their custom icon. This is how they looked at the beginning after the copy was made: After making the custom icon change, the next day, both…
Organization of Custom Links with Folder-Like Buttons
This proposal aims to improve the management and accessibility of custom links within Board by introducing folder-like buttons in the “Links” section. Currently, custom links are contained in a single "Links" folder-like button in the Board menu, which can become cluttered as more links are added. By allowing users to…
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…
Copy/Paste Tool for Data Reader's ETL
This proposal introduces a copy and paste functionality for ETL configurations within Data Reader objects in Board. Currently, when working with multiple Data Readers, developers often face the tedious task of manually configuring each ETL setting individually, which in some cases, is common for some Data Readers. This…
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…
Screen Password setup
Hello It would be great have the possibility to set a password at screen level, and any way a user want to access there, the psw will be required (except in design mode) Now, to restrict the access to a screen I have to use a single button. with this option the screen can be simply added to a menu and access will be…
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…
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…
How to track flexgrid layouts performance in the logs ?
Hi all, everything is in the title, I'm looking for a way to monitor the performance of flexgrid layouts in B14 the way we do it for dataview layouts, but I did not find anything in the logs so far. Any idea? Thanks, Etienne
Filter Indicator
We would love to have the ability to have selected filters highlighted, color coded, or another indicator showing which filters are selected.
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…

Important notes: The Board Help Center is only available in Sandbox environments from version Board 14.1 and onwards. The Board Help Center…
Enable Data Entry on Flex Grid
Greetings, A good idea to enable data entry on flex grid. thanks
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 - Date cubes as column labels in pivot mode and automatic time-grouping
Hello, currently FlexGrid does not recognize date cubes when they are used as column labels in pivot mode. This is a date cube (column "Input Date") in flat mode and it is fine: This is the same date cube used as a column label in pivot mode: Even if it is a 'date', it is not recognised as a date and has no native temporal…
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…
"Export to flat data file" option when using SendTo/Subscribe/Broadcast procedures
Hi, everything is in the title, most of our users export to Excel using the "flat data file" of the board add-in even if they are not using the addin. However this option is not available in the SendTo, Subscribe or Broadcast setups, which is limiting a lot the use of these functions. Can you please add it ? Thanks, Etienne
Use Broadcasting Actions to email to non-BOARD user email address
Hi Board Team, Can I use this Broadcast to email list Action to send PDF report to non-BOARD user in our organization? If not, then will this Advanced Broadcast work if I create a cube of email list (some emails are not BOARD users, but from the same organization). Thanks
