Time Ranges Notes
I would like to have Notes available to be able to record comments against a Time Range so as to give more clarity as to what the Time Range is used for and whether it needs to be rolled forward at a Year End as in some cases there may be no need to change the start year of the time range for instance but without knowledge…

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…

Ignore Value Parameter for MIN Function
When using a minimum function, it would be ideal if we could exclude specific values, or a list of values, to avoid returning zeros or another value. For the aggregation function x[MIN:y] you may want to exclude zeros from the formula. Currently the workaround is to use a large number in place of zeros, eg: "IF x = 0 then…

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.

Selective Module reordering
I often find that I want to re-order modules within functional areas, but using the ascending/descending order, re-orders all module, not just the ones selected. It would be great if the sort, could be restricted to the highlight modules The following shows how it could look Note that the other modules are not included in…

Dependent dropdown - Based on line items
HI Team, Just realized that the dependent dropdown will work only based on the property that the list has. As we are following the best practice not to create properties in a list, can we make the dependent dropdown based on line items. Agree/Disagree or Any comments? Regards, Kavin.

Include Formula Change Detail in Model History
Currently the model history process only captures that a line item was edited but it doesn't specify if it was a formula change, applies to, etc... and it doesn't include what the formula is/was. This came up recently in trying to research what had happened with a formula that had previously been updated and it's otherwise…

User list used as a dimension, allow to create a subset to reduce module size
I would like to use the user list as a dimension so users are not overwriting each others settings, but the module with the data the settings select is big and so is my user list, so this adds a lot of unnecessary model size. Can't there be the ability to create subsets of the user list when used as a dimension, like for…

Ability to reference a Line Item generically.
I am requesting the ability to use a generic 'me/myself/self/here' reference in functions that require a Line Item. An example: Original: PREVIOUS(Total Average Balance) + MOVINGSUM(Total Average Balance, -11, -10, AVERAGE) New: PREVIOUS(Here) + MOVINGSUM(Here, -11, -10, AVERAGE) The benefit of this is: if the Planner…

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…

Please fix opening a menu from the drill-down view (i.e. to open the source module)
Hi, Currently, if you drill down through several layers of modules and try to open the menu of a module to open the source module it appears as if the menu has not opened. I have learned from experience that the menu does actually appear, but seemingly in a random position further up from the drill down tabs, and floats…

Add Automated Line Item Reference if a Field is used in an Import/Export action
It would be extremely beneficial and time saving if you could add a reference to a line item that states if it is being used in any import or export action and what that action is. This would be similar to if a line item is used in another line item or module.

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…

Automatically re-open modules after a session timed out
Hello All, As a new model builder I have experienced some frustration with tracing back where I was at if my session times out. This is especially true during the development stages and the solution is moving fairly dynamically and several developers are working on it. It would be a nice improvement if Anaplan could cache…

New Function To Convert Date Format to Text Format
It would be very useful to have this functionality rather than convert to numbers through DAY, MONTH, YEAR and back to text through TEXT function. Best practice would dictate to split these functions out but this increases clutter and causes unnecessary calculations in models.

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…

Add ability to assign a functional area to a new module in the create a module dialogue box
It would save time to not have to always go back to the modules tab and assign a functional area if I could do it upon creating the module, which seems sensible!

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…

Bulk Copy in Versions through Actions
Hi Team, We get request from customers where they have multiple versions of Budget like maintaining it quarterly. Like Budget should be open like * Budget V1 : Jan Onwards * Budget V2: April Onwards * Budget V3: July Onwards * Budget V4: Oct Onwards However, When we switch between the versions we should be able to copy 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…

HyperBlock Performance Improvement: TRUE-->TRUE change
The Anaplan platform leverages a patented in-memory, Java-based, planning engine for calculation called Hyperblock", as we can read in the CIO Guide White Paper on anaplan.com. The engine allows to rapidly calculate billons of cells. It is also important to understand that it recalculates only what needs to be…

Customize Branch Copy Action
Branch copy is a very powerful action, widely used in what-if-scenario analysis. It can also be used to copy, for example, promotion events. The problem is, when we create a copy of a completed promotion event also the status is copied indicating that the newly copied event is also completed, which obviously is not the…

Day Period
When using Weeks as a Calendar Type in Anaplan Time, there is no easy way to aggregate from days to months. We would be able to use TIMESUM function, but you cannot used simple Dates to indicate start and end of the month as function parameters -> it needs to be Period type. Unfortunately line items with Period type can…

Defaulting filters in Assign Action Screen
Assign functionality can be used, for example, to add products to customers. But how will we make sure, that only active products will be added? We can define a filter in assign actions (we can't use Boolean as a filter, but we create a list formatted property for that purpose). The main problem is, that when we open the…

Performance of line items calculations with cell count 0
Anaplan platform gives to modelers great flexibility in terms of how it is used, once in a while leading to situations, where modelers design solutions, which were never considered by Anaplan Platform developers. One example like that is usage of a single element list with subset as a module dimension - to turn on or…

Provide model builders a "Model Cleanup View"
Our model is rather large, and over multiple development cycles and many different developers we have a large amount pieces of the model that may now be obsolete. The trouble is with a large model it is incredibly cumbersome to locate safely remove clutter without the fear of causing major issues in the model. The only way…

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…
