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…

Disable 'Is Summary' by Default
Please can 'Is Summary' be disabled by default and require model builders to enable the setting. With the recent update to the blueprint view, this setting has become more hidden.

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…

Closing/Opening Balance Summary Method for Booleans
Simple request, please can closing balance and opening balance time summaries be made available to boolean formatted line items.

Ranges/allowable values for number input
It would be handy to restrict a number format. This will save additional validation checks/visualizations. e.g: - Number needs to be positive - Number should be an integer -The number should be within the range of 0-10 This is like a dependent drop-down list, however now restricting the number formatted input.

FIRSTNONBLANK() as a Function
Add a "FIRSTNONBLANK()" function that will evaluate each of the arguments and return the first one that is not blank. This would allow for formulas like the following to be greatly simplified and potentially better performing: Example 1: IF ISNOTBLANK( line item A) THEN line item A ELSE IF ISNOTBLANK( line item B) THEN…

Indication in blue print if a Line Item is used as DCA
There should be a column in blue print view of a module like "Referenced By" highlighting modules where a line item is used as a DCA

Sort Module Overview in Settings by Cell Count
I was wondering if it is possible to sort the modules by their cell count in the settings. At the moment there is only the possibility to export the model overview and then sort it in Excel for example. This extra step would be saved by having a built-in sorting function. For me it is important to sort the modules by their…

Drill Down View Enhancements
Drill downs in Anaplan Modules should have a feature for checking what each part of the formula written does. For example if there is a If condition with a nested loop with multiple formulas and conditions in it, then there should be a provision to select what each condition does regardless of the condition being True or…

Hide items on the model map
As we put headings as empty modules, these then appear on the model map. Could we not include zero cell modules on the model map, or give the builder the ability to exclude.

LastUpdate Function to retrieve timestamp of Data entry
We need a function which can give us timestamp on last data entry for a specific cell. This will help us to compare that time stamp with our custom date in some specific use cases. example: Todays Date: Line item to capture today's date via daily data refresh Order Date : User entry Line Item Time(Day) formatted Ordered…

Allowing Time Sum function to accept 1st argument a function
I would like to ask if you may give timesum function ability to accept other function within timesum parentheses [ex: Timesum(previous(revenue),start period, end period)]. The main reason I asked this, I would like to calculate the average 3 month based on previous figure. [Excel example] In meantime, I would also like to…

Remove Selective Access for a module
We encountered a situation where we had selective Access enabled for Regions. A user had following access: Region 1 - Write Region 2 - Write Region 3 - Read Region 4- Read Region 5 - Write. We had to create a boolean filter on Regions. Since, the user has only read access to Region 3 and 4, he could not set the filter for…

Selective Summaries: Set Summary individually for each dimension
Sometimes, it's the case that we do not need summaries for all dimensions that are applied to a module - I might need calculations to happen for all intersections applicable for the dimensions applied but need roll up only for one of the dimensions which is currently achieved by creating a separate module at higher level…

Enable cards from multiple models within the new UX app
Enable cards from multiple models within the new UX app. Currently you can add multiple models to a page, but when you add cards sourced from different models you have to toggle to that model at the selector. After creating the cards, you have to toggle to this modal at the top otherwise the data is killed as per the…

Setting to restict user from selecting list items multiple times
In some scenarios, where you need the user to map a list item with another list item (one to one mapping), it would be useful to have an Anaplan setting that restricts the user to select a list item only once in the field. Currently, you need to add some manual check to make sure that each item is mapped only once.

New UX for modeling: refresh dashboard button for classic
As users move to the new interface also for classic dashboards, the "refresh" button becomes even harder to access. Now you have to right click on the tab name to open the tool bar, where the refresh button is. I know that classic dashboards are no longer priority, but this new interface makes it slightly worse to deal…

New UX for modeling: Switch between models and keep the module/list tabs open
When using the new navigation bar to switch between models, it would be great if Anaplan can keep the tabs for modules / lists that you have open already. Of course with a time stamp on it, maybe 30min or 1h. So if you go back to that model later, the same modules / lists would already be opened. Ideally also with the…

New UX for modeling: Dragging column width in modeling screens
Ability to drag the columns to be bigger or smaller on modeling screens, such as blueprint view but also the settings pages (modules, actions, etc). That's especially useful for the second tab "Imports" on the Actions setting page. It's currently impossible to read the content when we use saved views, and there's no…

New UX for modeling: Formula tips
In the new formula editor, it would be great if we could get formula tips, similar to excel that gives you a cheat-sheet of what arguments are needed and in what order. So instead of having to open an Anapedia page everytime to remember the order of the functions I use left often, this would pop up when I start typing in…

Format Column for List Formatted Line Item in Module Blueprint Export
When we export module blueprint to a file, list formatted line item has the list ID as value in the Format column instead of the name of the list itself. It will be useful if the list name is also added so that the exact list used by a specific line item can be known more easily without referring back to Anaplan blueprint.

Open the saved view if you save a view
When creating a saved view, it will not open by default, but you need to open the saved view in order to finetune it. It will benefit the model builders, because now a lot of times you create a saved view and you need to remember to open it again before making more changes to the view and continue saving. A lot of times…

Enable placement (Before, After, Top, Bottom) of new module upon Insert of module.
Similar to the drop down list when adding a new member to a list, it would reduce steps if I could add the new module to the Bottom of the display or After a selected module. In order to list modules sequentially, eg. SYS01, SYS02, SYS03, I must insert the module, then go back to the modules list and Reorder.

Search Actions in the New Modelling Experience
Hi Team The new modelling experience is great, giving a fresh feel to the design. I like the search option centralized as i don't have to do many clicks. Currently it has Modules, Dashboards and Lists. Can you include Actions too ? Thanks Kudi

Filter what appears in the dropdown for a list-formatted line item with a boolean
Current state Currently, you can filter a list using the "Selective access" and "Dependent" checkboxes when you go to the Format property of a line item, or you can create a list subset. It may happen that you want to have more control over what appears in the list than the checkboxes allow... but applying a subset comes…

Add properties to line item subset
Description of the enhancement required: Add List Properties for Line items subset and a full menu (like ordinary Lists have). Currently there is only one “Description” property available An example of the enhancement: Adding properties section for a line item subset would allow the business to store non numeric…

Allow filters across multiple line item formats
I need to be able to apply a filter to my line items to show any line that is blank regardless of format. Currently if I use >0 it will hide all lines with text formatting. The ability to add 2 filters for is not blank or is >0 would also be an acceptable solution

List Formatted Items Dependent Dropdown based on a Module Line item
Currently the only way to define a dependency for a list formatted item is to use a List Property or its natural parentage. I would like to maintain this relationship in a module rather on a list property as recommended in the current best practice guidance.
