Upgrading from previous Board 12 releases

Since Board 2022 Spring release is fully back-compatible with previous Board 2021 versions, the upgrade process won't require any special preparation: every Data model created in previous Board 2021 releases environments will work seamlessly after you upgrade your solution.

Steps for upgrading to Board 2022 Spring release

1. Uninstall your current version of Board (on-premises customers only)

2. Install Board 2022 Spring release

   • For Cloud customers, the upgrade process can be initiated by raising a ticket through the Board Support Portal. The ticket must contain your Platform name (e.g. customer1-s1.board.com). The Board Cloud Operations team will then handle your request.

     If you upgrade from the 2021 Spring release, installing Board 2022 Spring release will update the chat feature to the new version and all previous chat sessions will no longer be available.

     If you upgrade from a version prior to the Spring 2022 release, installing the Board 2022 Spring release will update the @Selection_Ex substitution formula with the new "ShowActive" parameter, which must be used in conjunction with the "Entity" parameter to always show the active members (i.e. members included in the selection) of the configured Entity or to show the formula if a selection is made on other aggregation levels of the same relationship tree.   When the "ShowActive" parameter is set to "False" (default value), the output is the formula itself regardless of any other selections made on other aggregation levels of the same relationship tree. Example The formula @Selection_ex(Entity="Month",ShowActive="False") is displayed as is also in Play mode, even if you apply a selection on the Year Entity that propagates to the Month Entity   When the "ShowActive" parameter is set to "True", the output is always a list of the current active members (i.e. members included in the selection). If all members of the Entity are selected, the output of the formula is "All". Example The formula @Selection_ex(Entity="Month",ShowActive="True") returns a list of all members of the Month Entity included in the current selection, even if it is made on other aggregation levels of the same relationship tree, such as the Week Entity   Please be sure to check the Screens that use the @Selection_Ex substitution formula after upgrading to the Board 2022 Spring release.

After all these steps are completed, you'll be ready to actively use your new Board 2022 Spring release environments.
