Add Sort Selected On Reorder Dialogue
Can a 'Sort Selected' group be added on the reorder dialogue, similar to the 'Sort All' group shown below. This would help with organisation in models, most notably where you want to order numbered modules, but only in a specific area of your module list. The group would have a similar function, but as indicated would only…

IsLastOccurrence
We have Native IsFirstOccurrence functionality which helps us in a number of ways while modelling. I think having IsLastOccurrence will also be equally helpful in Anaplan.

Insert Line items – Format settings
The reason behind the ask is because Anaplan is not letting the model builder even to add dummy line items (Divider with None as a format) if the model exceeds the size as it takes the 'number' as default. I hope to resolve this concern, probably Anaplan can let the developer choose the format of the line item before…

Enter Saved View on Saved View Creation/Save
When creating saved views, it would be great if Anaplan enters the saved view immediately after creation. Currently, anaplan returns to the default view of the module. This can be a bit annoying if you need to make a quick change to the view, such as adding a filter or showing/hiding columns.

Ability to copy a List
There are occasions when I need to have a list that is similar in structure or content but serves a different purpose in the application or where I need to have different children but similar parents in the same module. In this case my only options are to export the data, create a new list and add the properties and…

Add option to search for data anywhere within the table of a module, not just the rows dimension
Pretty self-explanatory but I want the ability to search for data or text or part of a formula anywhere within a module, not just the rows column. Identical to what Excel does with ctrl+f.

Reorder button in Manage Views
As a model builder I would like to have the "Reorder" button in the "Manage Views" section of a module so that I can re-arrange my views quickly and easily. On big models with many views this could be a bit tricky. However, I agree that if builders keep on top of it as views are created and use naming conventions, this…

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…

Improve FINDITEM() when used with Time
Similar to improving imports with time periods (Idea Link), it would be great if the FINDITEM() formula was tweaked when working with Time, to make the formula return time periods for strings like Jan-20. Reason for asking (lifted from my previous post in the Idea Link): The standard excel format for Month-Year is MMM-YY.…

Move multiple actions in a process at one time
When you add actions to a process they are added to the bottom on the list of the already existing actions. Whilst you can move a single action I would like to be able to select multiple actions and move them in a single action.

Line Item Format move Style format dialogue
When you click on the line item format I would like to be able to choose my style at this stage rather than having to scroll to the right to then change the style that is applicable to the line item.

Allow un-balanced hierarchies on composite hierarchies for child hierarchies
As a model builder, I would like to be able to add "parent" elements into the child hierarchies (Level 2, 3, etc.). As for now, in a child hierarchy is allowed only to add leaves elements (elements without children) because as "parent" are allowed to be set only elements from the parent hierarchy. As for now, the unbalance…

Option to pick a separator, when using TEXTLIST as "Result = Source[TEXTLIST: Mapping]"
Good to give user the ability to pick or type a separator instead of default comma, as there might be commas in the orginal text strings already.

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…

Formula Bar Changes Color When It Is Active
It would be helpful if the formula bar changed color when it is active. As an indicator, This could help people avoid clicking around on different line items and entering in incorrect formulas. See the screenshot below as an indicator of what this could look like.

VARIANCE command
When we define an item we can set the number Format to Numeric and tag if an "Increase in Value" is Good/Bad/Neutral. Why do we not have a VARIANCE function to utilise that increase in value indicator? So if we have three different Versions ("Actual", "Budget" and "Actual vs Budget" and 1 item called "Sales" (with an…

Day time period format
We currently cannot have Daily as a Time Period format for a line item Use Case: Mapping from a fake daily timescale to Real time. Issue: Currently we have to use a date formatted line item and to map from a Fake Daily timescale in the format 1 Jan 2019 to a date requires a lot of text and string manipulation

PROPER() Functionality
When we are dealing with Text formats in Anaplan it is case sensitive and it throws unexpected results if we don't do it exactly the way it should be. Although we can achieve this by amalgamation of LOWER, UPPER, FIND, LEFT & RIGHT functions. Having PROPER function would greatly reduce the need to do so.

Restore Open Dashboards and Modules Tabs when Model is closed accidentialy (or due to login timeout)
I'd like to see an option that we re-logging into Anaplan - I can re-open my most recently used model and any correspoding tabs (dashboards, modules, etc.,) that were open. Sometimes the model is closed automatically after login time-out, other times the model is accidentially closed by selecting the Anaplan logo at the…

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…

Breakback function by selected Line Item
Hi Team, It will be great to have an option to select the Line Item which will be taken as a source to calculate phasing for Breakback function. At the moment split is done based on the items, in which I input amount. Unfortunately in some business cases it's required to use another metric for phasing. This can be useful…

Select parent level
I would like to see a formula similar to parent but "inverted". When I have an unbalanced hierarchy and need a parent a similar level I would like to choose level from the top instead. example: invparent(item,3) which would always give the level 3 item for all parts of the list instead of trying to find our a way to get a…

automatic backup
It would be very good to have the possibility of executing an action or process that makes an automatic backup of the model.

Filtering of subset based Module based on full list
If a module is based on a subset I would like to have opportunity to able to filter it based on the other modules which are applied to original lists. currently i need to create a new line item which will be applicable to that specific subset. an example of application is a dummy timescale (which contains for example 7…

Quick way to open referenced Line Item or List Property
It would be great to have a quick way to open a referenced Line Item or List Property from an existing formula. It can be very tedious & time consuming to hunt through the modules & lists, then again through the line items & properties to locate the reference, especially when there are multiple levels of references to…

Create Function for ADDWEEKS
Please could we have ADDWEEKS as a function to work the same as ADDMONTHS and ADDYEARS the current workaround is to convert the weekly time period into a date then add or subtract 7
