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…

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…

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…

Option to disable the model map
Description of the enhancement required: Please provide an option to disable the model map. An example of the enhancement: In the Settings tab, there would be a section for User Preferences, which would allow me to turn off the Model Map. How would it help the business process: I never use the Model Map, but it gets in the…

Assign Action - Disable unassign
Assign Action dialog window allows end users to assign new elements, but also to remove already assigned elements. In some scenarios it is not desired, as modelers are no in control here (we cannot put any validation if an element can be removed / unassigned). The idea is to add a configuration option (Boolean) to allow…

Usage of Lookup on Users
As we all know, We are not able to use Users formatted line item in Lookup to get particular user data. Can we have option to do the lookup on user formatted line item? It will help us creating consolidated dashboards on what-if scenarios by user dimensions.

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…

To be able to use an action to change the order of items in a list
Description of the enhancement required: To be able to use an action to change the order of items in a list. An example of the enhancement: I have a list, FRED, which is populated from a SQL query containing an ORDER BY clause. However, new items are always inserted at the end of the list (or rather, at the end of the…

Copy model from point in history
Description: Take a copy of the model from a point in history, based on the model History ID. Impact: This would allow investigation and audit of production models without affecting the source model. But there could be concern about this affecting storage, if people begin to create more copies. Example of enhancement: I…

Sorting items by code or name in number lists
Description of the enhancement: New items are added at the bottom of a list or at the bottom of a node when there is a Parent. How this enhancement will improve you processes: Re-ordering or sorting a list is a one-by-one manual operation that can be time consuming.

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.
