Best Of

Thank you all for all of the learning you have provided to me and others this past year. Great Team!

I think 2023 was a year that had a little something for everyone!!!

For the model builder experience, the formula indent + error checking enhancements were massive quality of life improvements! For Page Builders, image Assets make it exponentially easier to include graphics on your pages. For end users, quick click UX enhancements made it easy to make bulk updates to data (copy across/down), compress hierarchies in the page selector, and reset page views.

Small wins can make huge impacts overtime - cannot wait to see the gains in 2024!

Hello Anaplanner Community!

I am excited to participate in my first ‘How I Built It’ tutorial. Clients and end users are always looking for methods to concisely display relevant data and streamline their data interactions.

This video will present some methods to extend the functionality of line item subsets (LISS) to dynamically update and determine the visibility of specific module line items. This ‘How I Built It’ tutorial provides the steps for a model builder to utilize assigned roles or a user-driven selection to determine the visibility of line items.

Key features

1. End User assigned model role determines the visibility of which line item subset members can be viewed and interacted with.
2. End User selection determines the visibility of which line item subset members can be viewed and interacted with.
3. Model builders can configure line item visibility in real-time.
   

Check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

All the 'How I Built It' tutorials can be found here.

Happy 2024! I enjoyed the Community User Advancement program that rolled out in 2023 - it really allows me to focus in on what and how I want to learn and move forward with my Anaplan development.

Hello everyone,

I would like to thank everyone who has worked to bring the new features to Live.

Firstly, it is a summary method that mesmerizes me, having 'Summary' as 'none' is a very good option which almost can be used in many places.

Secondly, introducing various features in MAP is very intriguing. We can assign the values based on territories with multiple colors and options is useful in many ways. Especially, re-allocating the territories is a game changer.

Furthermore, Disabling the process through 'Driver line item', altering the positions of Page selectors, new templates for grid design, hierarchy filter, update in NUX Images, update in Anaplan Report sheet in NUX and so many reasons to be satisfied about the updates which we have got in Modeling and NUX designing.

Thanks,

Happy New Year to all! My favorite features of 2023:

1. Line item summary defaulting to "None" ( Mentioned several times above). Will result in better quality models and faster model building.
2. Users now have ability to copy down and copy across in NUX. This is often a big time save for users in FP&A/Accounting world.
3. Workflow! - While there is still a ways to go to make this really efficient, being able to create workflows that can bridge multiple models and automatically run actions is HUGE from a process efficiency perspective. Once Anaplan can get these workflows to be triggered by Users outside the Workflow Administrator page (e.g. with the running of an action button or with integration from source systems), this will be a true game changer.

Thank you Product Teams for continually improving the platform!
