Copy and paste items from a numbered list with duplicate display names into more than one cell
Currently an error is returned if you copy an item from a numbered list, in which there is another item within that list that shares the same display name, and the user attempts to paste this into more than one cell. The workaround for this is to create a new line item, enter a formula, find the code for the corresponding…

New modelling experience: Can we bring back the lists in the settings bar please?
Hi All, Here is my number one reason for staying on the old modelling experience: The new settings bar does not have lists. I liked the old settings bar. I did not think it was too big. It was never an issue. Removing the names of the different settings and only having the icon saves space, but I like seeing the names!…

Add native search functionality into popup screen for deleting/adding actions/steps in processes
To improve the model building efficiency & experience, my customers would like Anaplan to add a native search functionality into the popup screen where we maintain (deleting/adding) actions/steps in processes. Some of these customers' models include thousands of actions, and so it is not feasible for the model builders to…

Subsets as a separate option on the left hand panel similar to LISs
There is a quite a bit of scrolling involved to get to list subsets, especially in large models with lots of them. It will be more efficient to group them together and be accessible with an icon similar to LISS with details of the underlying list presented.

Impact Discovery (Reverse of Drill Down)
Concept: You have entered an adjustment in a cell, you wish to see what line items, cells, items, etc. that are dependent on the entry or are impacted by it. Simply taking the referenced by information and displaying the equations that pull the value and how they change the value (+/-, T/F, Text Change, etc.) Benefits:…

Drag/drop and select multiple for reordering actions in a process
When reordering actions in a process, I would like to be able to drag/drop and also select multiple actions at once, the same way we can when reordering line items for a module. Currently, we can only do 1 action at a time, and move 1 spot at a time using the up/down arrows. This is very tedious and time-consuming when…

Wider "Format" column / column resizing in module blueprint mode
Please make the "Format" column in module blueprint mode much wider. Currently, list-formatted line items with list names of more than a word or two cannot be seen fully, which makes it hard to distinguish between similarly named lists at a glance. The only way to see the full list name is to click into the line item…

Formula Drilldown Highlight for Relevant Sections (esp. IF statements)
It would be really helpful if formula drilldown could highlight (maybe bold or with colors) the sections of a formula that actually apply in a specific calculation. For instance, in formulas with nested IFs, a lot of it will not apply in a particular calculation because the IF condition is not met. However, that is often…

An Anaplan Hash Function
There are times when a code needs to be generated in Anaplan and it would be really handy if we could use a simple hash function to do this (especially as Anaplan's code limit is 60 characters). The Hash function could be a simple one that allows input of text and generates a code limited to 60 characters or less. it might…

Enable Hot Key Refresh for modules, etc.
Hello, I find myself trying to refresh classic dashboard and backend modules with Alt+R, similar to the UX, and it would be great if we can get this functionality on the backend for module build.

Ability to Use Copy Down/Copy Across on a Higher-Level Breakback Cell
Currently, when a builder has Breakback turned on for a line item and selects "Select Levels to Show" in a module and only selects higher levels in a hierarchy, copy down/copy across will not work on these summarized Breakback cells (Fig01). I would like the ability to use Copy Down/Copy Across in a module for on these…

Ability to Export Adhoc from NUX
Unlike Classic, New UX doesn't have the option of allowing users to export the module/view from the dashboard directly without the pre defined actions. Idea is to provide the option to the end users so that they can export the data without running any pre defined export actions.

Ability to create Formulas between models
As a workspace admin, i need to build connected planning between models, meaning direct formulas references between models themselves. This is needed as our current only option is to either use import actions which need to be either run manually, or scheduled through cloudworks or would require a substantial amount of…

New Line Item Text Format Type - SmallText
First, I would like to address that I do not know how the back end of Anaplan is built, so I am unsure as to the possibility or ease of implementation of this idea. The idea is taking a concept from SQL Server. SQL Server has the following data types for storing integer values: bigint, int, smallint, and tinyint. The below…

Lengthb / LENB function
I would like to request a function to get the length of multibyte string in Anaplan. In some countries such as Japan and China, users can use multi-byte characters to enter number and alphabets. Our user wants to avoid entering the list name (i.g. Customer Name) in multi-bytes by mistake. Currently, end users can set same…

Summary Methods Based On Line Items - Product as an example or Weighted totals
Hi All, I feel that the summary methods in Anaplan could be improved further by including more flexible options to use other line items (same dimensionality) to influence summary method. For example on a model I have been building recently, many of the summaries require the product of 2 line items divided by the total of…

Childs with same parent crossing in a same module
Hello all, Imagine we have a parent list Country (G1) and two child list attached to this list: Fisrt list => Regions (G2) and a second list Stores/Entities (G2 bis). We need this second list Digital Stores because for each country we may have 2 or 3 digital stores which may serve all regions of my country. For example, in…

Modelling from module "Line Items" view
The "Line Items" tab is a really handy view when reviewing a model and looking through multiple line items across different modules at the same time. You can currently access the formulas by double-clicking but I think the view would be so much better if you could access all the module modeling actions (i.e adding a new…

Formula Box Auto-Resizing/Docking/Undocking
Having the flexibility to have the formula bar in the new modeling experience expended at the top versus jump to the bottom. In addition having the ability to move the formula bar around similarly to undocking and redocking so that the window has an auto-sizing feature when you toss it to the edges of your screen or…

New Modelling Experience Button Turns OFF in normal browsing mode of Google Chrome and MS Edge
The New Modelling Experience Button/Switch/Toggle turns off automatically if a user logs out and logs in again. This behaviour has been recorded in Normal Browsing Mode of Chrome & MS Edge. However, it does not seem to happen in Incognito Mode.

User List in a module only assigns space to users who have access to the module
I think it would be a good idea if the user list would only create space for the users who are in a group with access to the module. In a scenario where a set of super users need to do their own variance analysis that involves lots of calculations, having all of the users who also don't have access to the module will lead…

New UX: Dynamic grid update based on filter settings
As a model builder I want to be able to setup a Grid which will be updated dynamically every time after a user wants to reselect any line item published as Field or Grid which are used as filters, but without the necessity of reloading the page. Current behaviour allows to have the same effect, but only if the User list is…

Add Show Imports/Show Targets to Modules
Please allow model builders to view, from the current module, a list of all of the imports to the current module and a list of all of the targets (i.e. imports that use the current module as an import data source). The current process of resolving import issues from a module is tedious - from the current module a model…

Erlang A
From a callcenter planning perspective we currently have Erlang B and Erlang C, which allow customers to compute the SLA given an amount of calls and their staffing level. The industry is starting to look more at the amount of calls answered as a percentage of total calls (TCA) as a way to determine staffing. In order to…

Ability to define line item 'applies to' when adding that line item to a module
As a model builder, I would like the ability to define the 'applies to' of a line item when creating and adding it to a module. This enhancement could work by enriching the current box for adding line items and allowing users to set the applies to at this point The benefit of this would be the ability to add line items…

Option for setting standard totals positions on rows
Totals position on rows defaults to "after" for each new module. Would be good if one can set the default on model level.

Remove ability to edit Formula column on Line Items in Blueprint Mode
I've always been told as best practice to not edit formulas for line items directly in the formula column of blueprint view, instead to click on the line item and then activate the formula bar on the top of the page. However, we recently had a new model builder, who had not yet heard about this best practice, copy and…
