Anaplan Data Orchestrator (ADO) - AMQP Connector
We have implemented a event driven architecture in order to interface our application (including Anaplan) in "close to real time". However, the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is not supported for the time being by ADO, which forces us to use an additionnal middleware. This would allow us to implement a seemless…

Ability to add more fields in row. Also, ability to remove background from fields.
I’ve noticed we don’t have a current solution for a more flexible layout with field selectors on NUX. I propose that we can enhance user experience by allowing more than 4 fields per row. Right now, we need to divide them into 2 field cards, if more than four fields are selected. Additionally, it would be fantastic to…
