Applying DISCO labels to Model Map
I would like to apply the DISCO-methodology to the Model Map. The most efficient way would be to label the Functional Areas to the DISCO. The model map could then be visually sequenced based on the DISCO steps: https://us.v-cdn.net/6037036/img/PLANS_DISCO_33530.jpg?small?v=1.0&px=200 This could improve the value of the…

Line breaks in free text fields
Please add the feature to enable line items and data with free text, with all characters including line feeds. Ctrl+Alt+Enter creates a line feed while entering the data, but it is lost when the data is referenced.

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…

Option to **** Formula Error Toasting
Most of the modelers know what is wrong with their formula, the moment they press enter and it starts toating system. There should be an option to **** the error processing in case of formula errors.

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.

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

Option to Right-Click action button ---> take me to that action in the Actions List
As a model builder, I would like to be able to get from a dashboard button directly to the action in the Actions list. It would be really helpful to have a right-click "Open in Action List" option somewhat equivalent to a module's "open source" module option but for actions. This would be a far better than the current…

Advanced Search: Allow use of Boolean Operators etc. in model search
I use the search functionality in Anaplan a lot because otherwise it's difficult to find things. It would be helpful to use operators (like in a google search) to find things. Here's an example: Pretend I have a dashboard named "David's XYZ Extravagant Dashboard - Cost Sheet" When searching, if I miss a single character…

Option to allow the system to automatically set the datatype for a line item
It would be really helpful to me when building complex formulas if I could build it up in pieces without creating lots of line items to do so. Ideally I could build it in pieces without getting plagued with "wrong data type" errors. I'd like the option to let the system adjust the datatype for me instead of just rejecting…

Support formula wildcard characters so that formulas dont need to be constantly updated
Would like to be able to use wildcard characters in anaplan formulas, specifically in the SELECT function. Ie. I have this: IF Version Selection.Selection[SELECT: VERSIONS.'2018 Actuals'] THEN "SBUDGET" I'd like something like this IF Version Selection.Selection[SELECT: VERSIONS.'???? Actuals'] THEN "SBUDGET" where ????…

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…

Module Selection for Line Item Subset With >1000 Modules
We have encountered a bug where if there are more than 1000 modules in a model, the panel where you select a module(s) to assign to a line item subset does not work. There is a workaround available (provided by Anaplan support to us about a year ago) where we can look at the web-page elements and find the code for the…

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…

Drilldown highlights relevant logic string
When a user uses the drilldown feature it would be awesome if the platform highlighted the particular logic string that was being applied within the formula to determine the final result. This would be helpful to parse long, complex formulas with many possible results. For instance, sometimes formulas have many IF a THEN b…

Ignore Timescale as a dimension if Time formatted mapping line item is used for aggregation
I ran into the issue when I needed to pull the data from the module with a timescale as a one of dimensions to another module that also contains timescale as dimension. I used time formatted line item in the source module for aggregation but it's been ignored in the Result module and error message box has been appeared.…

List property formula functionality to match module line item functionality
Hi Anaplan! It would be great if when you are entering a formula within a list property/attribute you can select another list item property by clicking on it instead of having to enter the name each time. This would also need to apply when referencing a modules line item, so clicking on the line item when a formula is…

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

Be able to select a default summary type for a model
In the spirit of trying to keep our models size-efficient, we encourage model builders to set the summary type to "none" whenever possible in calculation modules (trying to follow the DISCO method here!). Unfortunately, when a new line item is created, the summary type always defaults to "sum" and it's very easy for model…

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…

Use SUM Rules Dimensioned by Users for Source Data not Dimensioned by Users
I recently posted a question on the forums in relation to a workaround for a bug in the LOOKUP formula. I wholeheartedly feel like the LOOKUP bug (where it doesn't work for parent items that are in the same list as the leaf-level members) should be fixed. And I recognize that there are some workarounds available (as…

Statistical Functions Package: Normal Distribution
Concept: Include basic Statistical Functions in Anaplan Description: I miss some basic statistical functions among the available functions. These formulas are extremely useful when it comes to calculate chances or risks, which is a common and useful bit within the forecast calculations. A good example is the lack of a…

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…

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.

Enable/Disable expand collapse and save them as a View
As user i would like to have the option to enable and disable the expand collapse of hierarchy/composite lists. It would make the list look like flat and saving this in a saved view would be amazing.

Dark theme/Night mode
As an Anaplan user/model builder, I find the white can be a little too much some times and not too easy on the eyes. It would be great is there was a night mode or dark theme that swapped the colour palette for something not as bright. This may also help with accessibility Thanks!
