Timestamp using data write action
It would be nice to have it displayed the action run time stamp or a Boolean check timestamp using a data write action in New UX. we can bring by text formatted line item as we dont have time stamp data type. it will help to calculate several time related calculations. which will definitely help in several use cases.

Time Scheduling with Optimizer
A system that allows optimized scheduling of dates / times over a period would be very useful (for example a finite capacity scheduler in production scheduling, rather than a scheduling of a team for maintenance interventions, etc ...) to broaden the functional coverage a supply chain model.

"Missing" argument from "SUBSTITUTE" formula equivalent vs Excel
Anaplan's "SUBSTITUTE" formula has three arguments whereas excel's has a fourth optional argument that would allow for much simpler identification of specific substrings within a string that varies in construct: Anaplan = SUBSTITUTE(Text to search in, Text to find, Replacement text) Excel = SUBSTITUTE(Text to search in,…

Lists and Roll-ups in New Modeling Experience
I love the new Model Experience, but I miss the classic model experience in terms of viewing Lists and Modules on the same page. It would be great if we could add the Lists and Roll-ups functionality in the new Modeling Experience. As a model builder, we could see the Lists and Modules on the page together as we had in the…

Remember search criteria in Model Search
It would be really helpful if having done a search in Model Search and opened something up if the search criteria for last search remained for a while or till next login. I so often seem to find myself opening what I think I'm looking for only to find it was not the case but I then have to go back and start the search…

Built in notepad/clipboard
Hi Anaplanners, This time i am coming with an idea of having a kind of manageable clipboard/notepad built into the development UI. Performing development work i usually have some additional tools like notepad or excel opened on side to able to store formulas or mappings that i want to use in next few mins (example is a…

Formula Editor with AI suggestions
As a SA, when we perform the model review, one of the most common issues are badly written formula. MAT analysis does provide a list of potential issues. It would be nice to add another button in addition to apply as Suggest, so it can warn the users when they try to create complex formula. Even better, given the vast…

Module with only Non-Actual Versions.
Suggesting the ability to have a module that only applies to Forecast/Budget versions as its used predominately in Forecast assumptions. Saves space and enables users to add in Forecast assumptions without having an unnecessary Actual dimension.

Collapse Saved Views in Contents Panel
Add the ability to collapse saved views in the contents panel similar to how you are able to collapse functional areas. If every module has a few saved views the contents panel becomes hard to navigate.

MX Suggestion: add some formatting to the drill-in view.
This formatting would signal to the user what lines were actually used to derive the result. Here is a mockup: I highlighted in green the portion that was actually needed to get the result. The idea would be to make these first two lines bold or something.

Display Line Item GUID in Blueprint
I would like to have a unique identifier for every line item in a blueprint displayed either on screen or when I do an export as this will enable me to do more straightforward comparisons between models where the line item name may have changed but not the use of the line item itself. Currently I either have to a code…

Add ability to easily step through / run until X in a Process
I would like the ability to more easily step through the actions in a given Process. Often when trying to debug an issue with a given process, I need to step through the actions in the process to see how the data or views change mid-process. Currently, I need to search for and run each action independently in order to do…

Formula Drilldown Highlight for Relevant Sections (esp. IF statements)
It would be really helpful if formula drilldown could highlight (maybe bold or with colors) the sections of a formula that actually apply in a specific calculation. For instance, in formulas with nested IFs, a lot of it will not apply in a particular calculation because the IF condition is not met. However, that is often…

Add Show Imports/Show Targets to Modules
Please allow model builders to view, from the current module, a list of all of the imports to the current module and a list of all of the targets (i.e. imports that use the current module as an import data source). The current process of resolving import issues from a module is tedious - from the current module a model…

Subsets as a separate option on the left hand panel similar to LISs
There is a quite a bit of scrolling involved to get to list subsets, especially in large models with lots of them. It will be more efficient to group them together and be accessible with an icon similar to LISS with details of the underlying list presented.

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…

Searh Bar Location within the Formula Area in the New Modelling Experience UI
As a user in the New Modelling Experience, I would like the formula search bar to not cover the body of the formula, so that it is easier for me to navigate my formula while performing a search action within the formula area. Currently the search bar will cover part of the formula upon its invocation, which is not user…

New Model Experience: Re-open last closed tab
Often when you are model building or analysing an issue, you close a tab (be it a dashboard or a module) and realise you should have kept it open. Often that then means having to go away and search for the object again. It would be really useful if like on internet browsers like Chrome, you had the option to re-open the…

Enabling Subsets to be maintained from user interface or even a formula.
Sometimes there is a necessity to be able to update the Subset from the User interface. For example when you add a new Equipment and you are using a list of subsets to limit the size and selections. In this case it is only possible to update the Subset after you have created the list member. It is an inconvenience and…

Request Enhancement - reference the Year from the Current Fiscal Year set in Time
Request Enhancement - ability to reference the Year, as a number, from the Current Fiscal Year set in Time...similar to how we can refer to current period with currentperiodstart(). In our case, we don't use the Current Period parameter, so are not able to derive FY from it. Thanks, this would be really helpful and even a…

AgentsASA formula
When working with some of our Call Centre customers, I'm seeing use of AgentsASA being used, whilst we have the Agents formula it would be good to have the AgentsASA as a formula to use. The definition of the formula is not too dissimilar to the Agents as it uses ASA rather than SLA. I've attached the Agents and AgentsASA…

Extend model map to drill down to line items
Drill down model map to line item level At present, model map displays the modules and its data flow across the model However, it would greatly helpful to have a provision to drill down the model map from module to line item level and extend the data flow display across line items similar to value driver tree providing…

Automatic update of Model names in Source model mapping when model names are changed
Hi, Model names in Source model mapping should automatically update when source model names are changed. Also, the name within the Import Data Sources should automatically get updated based on changed Model names. Can we have this feature? Currently, this is not happening and it is confusing when we debug old actions.…

Pre-calculation check for duplicate line items
I am sure the acute pain felt when locking-up the model for simply creating a duplicate line item is felt by many model builders. Please could we have a simple check (this already happens elsewhere in the model e.g. actions) that ensures there are no duplicate line items before the model is calculated/refreshed? It only…

Prepare Sets of Dimensions and Subset Intersections of those Dimensions
As a model builder dealing with combination master data (Cost Center x Cost Element, Revenue Categories A x Revenue Categories B x Revenue Categories C), I want to be able create pre-defined sets of dimensions, the intersections of which I can subset, so that I can easily apply these sets to a module and save space by…

Model Map - Show Filters dependencies
As a Model Builder, I need to see the dependencies between calculation, input or reprting modules and filters modules when filters are used. The same could be useful for DCA as well ideally with different colours than the calculations and with the possibility to display / hide those links I need this because : - Anaplan…

Adjust Size of List Items in Columns
We have an option of adjusting our Row Size, this is useful when we don't want to show the dimension of the module. There are cases when we don't want to show Rows as well as Columns of the module like the typical 2-D/excel way of displaying things. Hence Proposing an idea of Having an ability to adjust the Size of the…

'List Item' Scope on Formulae
Would it be possible to implement a 'List Item' scope similar to Version Scope against line item formulae within Anaplan. My thinking here would be to allow some list items to be driven by inputs, and other list items to be driven by a formula. This would be a huge enhancement, but in than vein I am unsure as to how…

Filtering a list based on a property
When in a list grid view, enable a list to be filtered on a property. This is only possible by creating a module using the list and creating line item linked to properties.

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…
