Customize Model Filters
Consider allowing customers to customize the filter categories. App, Geography, Planning Cycle, Environment, and Business Function do not fit our use cases or model categories.

Default Home Page to list view
We would like the ability to default the tiles screen to the list view for all of our users. This view is a lot more user-friendly than the tile view, we have had an abundance of requests for model access when the users do not realize that they just need to scroll to the right to see additional pages of tiles.
-
Custom Format for Lists
Currently all list items default to text. It would be helpful to add them as dates, numbers, etc.
-
NULL Number Format
Null option for number format. Currently when a number in undefined, it will populate the module as a 0 instead of a blank. A work around is required to convert all of the numbers into text, and then make undefined numbers "N/A". The ROUND(TEXT()) function also causes a large number of unnecessary decimals.
-
Keep Dashboard Tables Anchored
When making inputs to large tables, the dashboard will scroll back to the top after making an entry. The ability to have the dashboard stay anchored while entering information would save time for users. We are having to use the maximize feature for each table to input data.

Automatic Sum in Drilldown View
Ability to select multiple cells in a drill down window and see the sum on the back end, as you can on a dashboard.
-
Boolean Format Options
When boolean is selected as a line item format, there should be an option to have single or multiple selections allowed. Currently, the default is to allow multiple selections. For instance, for single-selection, once one line item has been checked, all of the other line items have a greyed out checkbox that cannot be…

Right-Click on an applied filter ---> take me to the module
When Opening a filter, It would be really helpful if I saw a filter I wanted to dig further into and be able to right-click and open the module it's coming from. Currently a user has to back out of the filter view, and go there manually. When there are a few filters I have to screenshot this view temporarily because I…

Don't block manual input if a line item doesn't contain all dimensions of the module
Example: We have a model that is based on dimension A and months and contains 2 line items: -Line item 1 (manual input): applies only to dimension A -Line item 2 (has a formula): applies to dimension A and months If we publish this module to a dashboard with month as page selector, it is not possible to change the value of…

Right-click a part in a formula ---> take me to that module / List / etc.
Similar to some other feature requests I've made... 1. Open From Drill Down (delivered) 2. Open From Filter View it would help model building workflow if I could right-click a module or list that appears in a formula and it give me the option to open the module, or show the list. Again, this is so I don't have to leave…

Pre-emptive alert for Anaplan function constraints based on total number of cells to be processed
A pre-emptive alert for Anaplan function constraints based on the total number of cells to be processed would be useful to detect issues early in the ALM data transfer process avoiding the synchronization unproductive time until the error or warning message regarding the same kind of effect pops up.

Ability to Set a Character Limit in a Text Field
In certain cases the Name of something that goes into a report can only be so long before it starts to conflict and overlap with something else and make the report unreadable. In other cases the user is expected to be concise and not write a whole dissertation to name something or. I'd like to be able to set a numerical…

LAG function constraints don't allow for some valid scenarios
I would like to submit an enhancement request for the LAG function to be used between time ranges that are not the same but have valid overlap. The constraint that disallows the use of LAG between any line items that do not have the same time range gives the function minimal utility. I understand disallowing instances…

Optimizer on rearranging Applies To for optimal performance
In our current models we have been struggling with performance. 1 big impact is the arranging of applies to. It would be great if we have an optimizer that could determine the optimal Applies to for the performance of a given model. This is based a certain constraints from what i understand 1: Size of given list 2: Arrange…

Apply module defaults for timescales
I would like the option to use the "-" setting for time settings in the module blueprint, as per the Applies to Since I rarely use subsidiary views, if I need to change the time from, say week to month, I then have to apply this change to all line items, whereas using a default would save time
-
Day level calendar setting
Is it possible to have a 'day' level setting in the calendar type. We need to plan at a greater level of time sensitivity than is currently available. At present, we use Anaplan for weekly and monthly - it would be great if we could do the same for daily too.

Show first 100 rows in Drill Down
The message received when trying to drill down onto a cell which references a large list is as below. Instead, can there be a enhancement to add the grid filtered down to the first 100 rows so that users can continue troubleshooting in the Drill Down window? Thanks! Cannot display grid for line item <sample line item> too…

Bounty Program
This is a platform to share ideas about improving Anaplan platform. But there is something I would like from your side a bounty program, for finding bugs in the platform. Just a suggestion to improve the Anaplan platform further. Thanks, Vamshidhar Reddy

Line Item Format from module
It would be useful to see attributes of a line item without having to revert to the blueprint view I often build formulas in the normal view because I can see the results immediately. It would improve efficiency if I could see the list format, for example, without opening the blueprint view Maybe through a hover over or…

Filter and drill down in lists
As a model builder, it would be really useful the option to use filters in the properties of a list, as well as having the option of drill down in lists.
-
Parent Level Inputs
Having the option for user input at a parent level in a module would be very helpful. For example, our users are required to leave commentary on their monthly variance to actuals. Currently, they are only able to do this at the bottom level of our Cost Center hierarchy, but many of them would also like to leave commentary…
-
Format Date Fields so as to include the Day Name
Currently in Anaplan there is no way to change the format of the date to include the Short name of the day such as Mon for Monday without creating a custom timescale as a numbered list and then defining it in the Description of the Item. I have an instance where I need to provide more details on a date for the scheduling…

Use Page Selector Item in Formulas
The ability to use what is selected in a page selector in formulas and filters would be very useful. Although you can create a custom filter with a cell acting like a page selector, if multiple people are on the dashboard and using the cell, it can cause confusion.

Compare Values Incorrect color for negative version amounts
For a line item that has a saved value that is negative (take net income for instance), a less negative or positive value to compare to should be green, but is highlighted as red when you use color coding with the compare tool in Anaplan. Has this issue been identified before? Seems like it would be an easy fix since in…

Color Theme Formulas
Giving different sections of a formula different colors to organize while writing it. Especially when writing a longer nested-IF formula, it would make the organization of the formula easier as well as decrease opportunities to stall the model.

Locked model greys out Open button but not Copy/Delete buttons in Settings, Modules
Description of the enhancement required: The behaviour in a locked model is odd, while in the model module screen, the open button is greyed out, the Copy and Delete button should be greyed out too since trying to use them will result in error saying the "Sorry, the model has been locked by another user". Misleading to…

Ability to format a cells by logic instead of numbers such as blank or not blank
Hi Anaplan, It would be really useful and if you could format cells by logic instead of numbers directly on the cell. This could work by having blank or not blank in the formating parameters or true or false. Thanks, Usman

Action type that eliminates need for additional check box
Add an action type that allows for creation of new rows without needing to select an additional boolean checkbox Many actions require selecting a check box in addition to click a button. These should be consolidated into one step to improve user experience
