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

Categorizing the content panel based on the Module Categories
I have always wondered what are the benefits of categorizing the functional areas of the modules. In content panel we only see functional areas and not the categorization. It would be great if this categorization can be applied to the content panel. This would help not only the admins but also the end users and I also…

Support of basic excel functions like RAND, RANDBETWEEN, RANDARRAY
It would be nice to have these Random number generating functions. These functions revery useful to generate some test and demo data, rather than inputting numbers and copy forward or importing from an excel. Can all be used for other purposes that I can not think of now.

Summary method shown when drilling down
I suggest a simple addition to the drill down feature that displays the summary method that was applied to the line item. This is because it is sometimes not readily apparent (especially to an end user) how a top level summation has been calculated.

LOOKUP does not work on list parents and only leaf items
When a LOOKUP is done on a parent item in a module, the result does not resolve to the column with that respective parent. Subsequently the value shows 0. To reproduce: 1. Create list with leaf item and parent 2. Create module with column 1 as "Data", column 2 as "Parent", and column 3 as "Lookup", using list from 1. as…

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.

Search Option while Selecting Lists for Module Dimension
There should be an option to search lists while applying to modules. In our use case, we have too many lists/subsets to scroll and select the appropriate one. Changing a dimension is even nightmare when multiple lists are applied to the module. Ideally, It is should be similar to how we add actions to a process ( Click and…

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…

Deactivate Formula Scope if Versions = Not Applicable
Hi, In a module blueprint, there is a field called 'Formula Scope'. For modules where Versions = Not Applicable, using 'Formula Scope = Actual Version' or 'Formula Scope = Current Version' will nullify the calculation of any formula in a line item. This is potentially dangerous, because: 1. If there is a formula + Formula…
-
Add XOR formula
Title says it all, a XOR formula would be really helpful and reduce formula length when trying to test an exclusive or. For those unfamiliar, here is the logic table for XOR. It acts as an OR however if both inputs are TRUE, then XOR returns false.
-
List Inheritance
Where lists are in a hierarchy, it would be really helpful if Anaplan natively understood the concept of inheritance. Here's an example. Consider two lists in a hierarchy: * L1 Countries * L2 Cities L1 Countries is the parent to L2 Cities. Within an attributes module, each L1 Countries list item is assigned a currency.…
-
Improve List Item Deletion
Improve the list item deletion within Anaplan so that if a model builder selects 'Delete All' from the delete dialogue when there are vast numbers of list items the model builder is prevented. Doing so would prevent model and workspace lock ups. To explain this further: Consider a list with 1,000,000 items. If you attempt…

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.
-
Blueprint View of Saved View
When a saved view is open, it would be really useful to have the option to open the blueprint and only show the line items in the view, rather than the full blueprint. In modules with a lot of line items, when the view has only a small selection of them, it is time consuming to find the respective line items

nth occurrence text function - finds nth time a character occurs in a string
I would like the ability to use a function that allows me to search for the nth time a character or string of characters occurs in a concatenated key. Currently, we import text string keys from source systems and derive business information from these strings. For instance, we might have the transaction key…
-
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…

Ability to create a budget version, copied from another version, with values that don't change
I want a version that contains values from another version, but doesn't rely on lists/formulas/etc. Changes to the model should not affect this version copy. Description of the enhancement required: I want to be able to take a copy of a version which is just a copy of the numbers, so once you agree the budget it is copied…
-
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.

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,…
