Create a "Date Last Modified" column in Modules to let Admins see when line items were last changed
I would like the ability to interrogate when a Module has received changes to specific line items to help in troubleshooting bugs. For example, when someone changes a line item's summary type, or formular, or data type, or name etc. this should ideally change the "Date Last Modified" for that line item. I could see this…

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…

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.

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…

Maintain & Return to Model Builder's last Position in Modules / Dashboard / Actions lists
The search feature in these lists is nice, but anytime I have to switch between them I have re-find what I was looking at when I go back. A major, yet simple quality of life improvement for model builders would be when I switch between these lists, hold the scroll position I was on and take me there when I return. For…

Make dashboard titles that appear in "Used in Dashboards" columns clickable hyperlinks
When trying to work in Anaplan I find there to be a lot of "dead ends", meaning I have find where I want to go, but I have to stop, back out and go there in an unintuitive way that breaks my workflow. The "Used in Dashboards" and "Referenced By" columns are helpful to trace where things are used, but I still have to leave…

It would be awesome if formulas had a click-able hyperlink to its source cells, similar to when you double click on a cell in excel to show a formula and it highlights the precedents. Its also similar to "Drill Down", but instead of being…

Show % formatted items description as a % rather than just showing description as 'Number'
If I format a line item or property as a % it is only shown in the blueprint or grid view as 'Number'. It is not easily identifiable as a % wotjout going into the line item and checking the % option has been ticked and the number of decimla places.

Native User Subsets
While the Native User list was a great addition - adding every user to the dimension that has access to the model make it almost unusable for large models with > 100 active users. A subset on this (either based on role or even just a boolean) would be very helpful to reduce size in some situations.

Standard lineitem format for each module (different from number)
We would like to have an option to set a standard line item format for each model / module. It would be nice if we could set a standard lineitem format for each module, so we can differ from the current standard of number formatted lineitems. For example, in my access driver module, I would like to have a standard boolean…
