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.

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…

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.

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…

More Shortcuts
It would be great if Anaplan supported more shortcuts. In particular, shortcuts that would enable model builders to change the formats of line items instantly. E.g. if a model builder hits B over the format cell, it will instantly change to boolean. M for time period months, T for text. Shortcuts are extremely useful and…

Ignore blank dates for MIN calculations
I'd like Anaplan to ignore blank dates when performing MIN calculations: MIN, x[MIN:y], and MIN as a summary function. For numbers, I can see why 0 is evaluated since sometimes those are true zeroes, but for dates this makes much less sense. With dates, I would want the MIN calculations to return blank only if all of the…

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 "Refresh" button from Edit Menu, onto Main Blueprint Toolbar
This is a quick one, but I was wondering if we could move the Refresh button out of the Edit Menu and into the main module blueprint toolbar? When I explain it to new folks, they always find it un-intuitive to have to open the Edit Menu, before they can Refresh.

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…

Add module's name to the Line Items grid in the Modules section
It'd be great to have a module's name in the Line Item's grid. Especially when I extract it to Excel

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…

Ability to customize Dimensions for line item summaries
I would like the ability to customize the dimensions across which the automatic line item summary will apply. Currently, we can only specify Summary (for all selected dimensions) and Time Summary. This means that for multi-dimensional line items, if I need a summary over one dimension I am forced to summarize over all…

Capability to define a Default Value
-------- Edit : There was a problem with the body, below the good explanation 🙂 -------- As a Workspace Admin, I would like to be able to define a default value for some Line Items (list, number or boolean). Ex: When a user adds a new row, I would like that some Line Item to be automatically filled with a default value.…

Open modules using 'Referenced By' column
It would be really helpful if the 'Referenced By' column opened all modules associated to the line item (similar to clicking on a functional area name to open all associated modules). This could be achieved by SHIFT+LEFT CLICK to differentiate from selecting the cell rather than following the hyperlink. This would be…

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.

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.

Ability to select multiple models to change the mode
Hi Anaplan, It would be great if we have a feature to select multiple models in the Manage Models page to change the mode at one go. For instance, if I want to archive 20 test models created by my team mates, then it would be easy if I have an option to click a Boolean to select the models and change the mode from Standard…

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…

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…

Ability to drag and drop an Import action in a Process
Hi Team, It would be really good if we have a Drag and Drop feature of an Import action (in addition to Up and Down arrows) in Edit --> Process. For instance, if a Process has more than 40+ Import actions, then it would be difficult to move a newly added import action/ an existing action to the 22nd place. Thanks Sathya

Set Display Name in Line Item Subsets
I would like the ability to (optionally) set a separate Display Name for line items in Line Item Subsets. Whenever the Line Item Subset is used, this Display Name should show instead of the original names of the included line items. This would be really useful when collecting line items from multiple modules, especially…
-
Add 'Does Not Contain' as condition when performing a filter on a text formatted line item
Many of our users would find it helpful if when filtering on text formatted line items, there was the option to use 'Does Not Contain'. There is a 'Contains' condition, which has proved helpful, however a 'Does Not Contain' would also provide a lot of value.

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…

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.

Allow for users to breakback on time and not other hierarchies
I have a customer who wants to use breakback for time but not the other hierarchies in the module. They are planning for cost centers and require users to enter data at the lowest level. However, they want to enter data for annual periods and break back to the months. If we can separate the other hierarchies from time,…

Calculation on top level selection in line item subsets and list item subsets
Hi Anaplan Community, Currently it is not possible to use a summary top level of a list subset or line item subset in a calculation without using a workaround using a boolean and using the complete list or line item list. If anaplan had the capability to allow modellers to use the top level in a line item subset or list…

Open source module link in NUX
Suggest to add the "Open Source module" ability to the NUX, incl. the current analysis options available in the old UX. Right now our users can use the open source module function in the old UX whenever they want to dig into the details, see all the underlying formulas/comments, and do ad hoc analysis. Especially, the…

Add formula drill down in NUX
Suggest to add formula drill down to NUX. When working with the NUX, there is no formula drill down option. This is a key feature for our users as they need to see how the numbers are being calculated when doing root cause analysis. At the same time, the specific values going into the formula should be shown as they are…

Ability to exclude zero values from AVERAGE calculation
A common requirement we see on customer implementations is to be able to calculate the average of a set of values but exclude zero values. For example if we have the following set of values (10,0,0,8,0), the average excluding zeros would be (10+8)/2 = 9. The current AVERAGE function cannot exclude zeroes and so gives an…
