True Connected planning : Formulas between models
As an anaplan coe and model builder, i d like to increase models interoperability and achieve the true connected planning ambition. To achieve that i need the ability to call into formulas line items from other models. This cannot be achieved currently and every model builder who practise import actions (who doesnt ?) To…

Sort Workspaces in Model>Model Import View
When setting up an import and selecting the "Connect to Anaplan Model" option, if you need to navigate to a different Workspace, you may be in for a bit of a maze. The workspaces are randomly sorted today, when nearly every other view (manage models from home page, new breadcrumb navigation in updated modeling experience)…

New Model Experience - Formula Editor Function Tool-Tip
To further enhance the modeling experience, particularly for new modelers, having a hovering tool tip when typing parameters within a function would be useful. It could be structured such that after typing the start of any function, a hovering display lists the required/optional parameters needed. As an example, typing…

Properties and Subsets Enabled For User List
Quite literally what the title says. I am able to point and click on the different features just like a regular list, or I can apply the User List for specific roles to reduce sparsity. There are advanced methods of data entry, where validation is done up front, preventing bad data from entering the data set, that could…

Identified easily Line items used in DCA like the information "Reference By" for formulas
It would be very usefull to have the information "Reference By" for line items used in DCA. It could be a new column "Reference as DCA by" or add this information in the existing "Referency By" column. Thank you

Time Range < 1Y
Hello, would be great to have Time Ranges functionality linked to the Current Period & for less than 1Y, e.g. moving two-Q range linked to the current period of the model. This for sure will optimize AN models in terms of speed & workspace size. Best regards Kristina

Anaplan Model Calendar - Roll-up Weeks to Months
Anaplan's model calendar rolls up days into weeks and months into quarters but does not roll up weeks into months. As a result of this, June 2020 has 5 weeks: w/c Jun1, Jun 8, Jun 15, Jun 22 and Jun 29. However, w/c Jun 29 has 2 days in June and 5 days in July - and the entire week gets included in July instead of June.…

Alphabetically sort List Subsets by name in '"Applies To" popup
It would be great if List Subsets could be sorted alphabetically by name in the "Applies To" popup when changing the dimensionality of a module/line item. When creating a new module, subsets appear under the main list which is very easy to find, however in the "Applies To" popup it's all over the place. This makes it…

Dynamic Charts in ALM
I keep having issues where I create a dynamic chart using a time filter (eg. Rolling 13 month filter) however when publishing it to live models it stays static which causes some unnecessary maintenance each month. Can this be fixed??

Summary settings: total sum
Hi All, It would be interesting to have an option "Total Sum", that only aggregates the value for the ultimate parent in the hierarchy. This would almost completely remove the need to create flat lists with a lot of benefits: - less complexity; - no mappings between lists; - easier/more intuitive to model While retaining…
-
Ability to Comment Code
The ability to put comment blocks and indents within your formulas, so as to allow model builders to better document and format their code within the models for readability and understanding purposes. This will help align Anaplan's language back to the basic features all other development languages used in an enterprise…

Numbered lists to add display name by default
I think it would save a lot of time during initial model setup if the following actions happened when a model builder checks Numbered List within the general lists panel. * New property within checked list created called Display Name. * Display Name property format set to text. * (Potential) Set Display Name property…

Improve Keyboard Navigation
Similar to a post by AnaplanIdeas found here, it would be great if Anaplan had improved keyboard navigation. Specifically, if the following areas were navigable by keyboard: * Model settings pane * Lists panel * Modules panel Importantly, if users should be able enter elements using the enter key, rather than having to…

Mouseover Hover Text for Model Builders
I think it would be helpful to model builders if there was a hover over option to display the text of a particular element. There are instances where the description is cut off for certain display elements and there is no option to resize columns for that element (I see this most frequently in the Module Blueprint and Data…

update source model default
In the model settings -> Source Models you are able to edit a mapping and change the source to e.g. the production model rather then the development model. For some of our models we have recreated multiple development models (copy of production) this resulted that as source model there are a lot of non existing models…

Display Hierarchy Codes against parent nodes in line item
When creating a module with a hierarchy dimension, if the code is used as a line item, the code will display as blank for higher level nodes in the hierarchy. This is not the case in the list screen for example and is very disappointing for business users used to other tools who do not like the workaround of including the…

Boolean Format Options
When boolean is selected as a line item format, there should be an option to have single or multiple selections allowed. Currently, the default is to allow multiple selections. For instance, for single-selection, once one line item has been checked, all of the other line items have a greyed out checkbox that cannot be…

Keep Dashboard Tables Anchored
When making inputs to large tables, the dashboard will scroll back to the top after making an entry. The ability to have the dashboard stay anchored while entering information would save time for users. We are having to use the maximize feature for each table to input data.

Option to Right-Click action button ---> take me to that action in the Actions List
As a model builder, I would like to be able to get from a dashboard button directly to the action in the Actions list. It would be really helpful to have a right-click "Open in Action List" option somewhat equivalent to a module's "open source" module option but for actions. This would be a far better than the current…

Monte Carlo
Have the need to add probablistic algorithms to planning scenearios so users can understand applicable levels of risk (probabilities) per decision.

Make Versions a Format (DataType)
Make Versions a list format so we can use with LOOKUP logic based on user selections. Would prevent the need for versions mapped to a pseudo-verison list with IF/THEN logic, ultimately reducing complexity and increasing ease-of-build.

Define Conditional Formatting for a Line Item in the Blueprint
Currently Conditional formatting has to be defined for a view and then published or republished to a dashboard if changes are made. I would like to see the ability to define a conditional format against a line item in the Blueprint instead. In addition the ability to choose whether to show conditional formats or not when…

Hotkeys for copy across/down
A detailed description of the enhancement that is being requested: can the copy down/across function be added as hot keys (combination of keys on computer keyboard) How you hope the enhancement would assist in your business process(es)?: Some of our end users do use these functions pretty often. The enhancement is pretty…

List cell "Contains" Typeahead
Description of enhancement: List cell input typeahead to work by "contains" typed text, not "starts with" (or make this a setting in blueprint format options). Example: The test list contained regions EMEA, APJ and NOAM. There's a list formatted line item in the module and if I type in the letter A, user wants all the 3…

Increase limitation on the number of cells drilldown can handle
Description of enhancement requested: Currently the drill down feature has a limitation on the number of cells that can be shown which is an issue when the data I am utilizing has a significant amount of data. I have one division alone that has 200 departments and when I need to drill into that division to try to find why…

Import into new User subsets
Super excited about User Subsets. However, we will need the ability to import into the user subset to make it useful. Another potential workaround would be the ability to use roles to auto populate the subset.

Allow Time Ranges shorter than a year to be created
Time ranges are a useful feature in Anaplan which can often help to reduce sparsity by allowing modellers to create modules just covering the time ranges needed. However, they are currently limited to being a minimum of 1 year long. We are seeing customer use cases which could benefit from being able to have much more…

Automate workflow start based on line item trigger
As a process owner, i need to be able to set up workflow template that can be started automatically based on a trigger event with when a line item is set to true lr false. The trigger would allow to start the workflow with a machine task allowing to run cloudworks processes, send notifications and / or assign tasks to…

Anaplan should provide a learning environment for Workflow functionality
My understanding is that there is a licensing fee (applied to all non-read-only users within a tenant) that has to be contracted and paid in order to open up the new Workflow functionality. I don't think this is fair, because how are we (as the Anaplan experts and model builders) to understand the technology to be able to…
