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!

Ability to create Version subsets allowing to have many different versions without impacting size
Hi Anaplan, As Anaplan grows users will require to create multiple versions allowing them to look at historical information without creating many archived models. The solution to this is to have many versions and be able to subset version lists, therefore saving on space and being able to view historical information…

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…

In the drill down window being able to filter on values for non blank or non than zero
Hi Anaplan, It would be amazing if within the drill down view you were able to filter on a list of values for items that are non blank or non zero. So for example if you're looking at a calculation with a dimension that has 1000 items you can see only the relevant items with non zero or non blank values that contributing…

Adjust Column Widths in Blueprint Mode
Being able to adjust column widths in Blueprint mode would be great. Rather than having to open an 'Applies to' menu, format menu, or copy and paste notes, and formula references, it would be great to adjust column widths in the blueprint mode. Alternatively, it would be helpful to have a "view" window or cell (similar to…

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…

Color Differentiate the "Write", "Read", "None" access levels for Roles--> Modules etc.
On larger models, the list of modules, dashboards, actions etc. can become very difficult to sift through. When setting user role access for these lists in Roles-->Modules, Roles-->Actions etc. it is difficult to notice issues because the whole list becomes just a sea of blue words, all of similar lengths. It would be…

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

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…

More advanced Grouping, Sorting and Filtering of the lists of Modules / Dashboards / Actions etc
During Anaplan training a user creates 5 or 6 modules / dashboard etc. Easy. Our model has a staggering list of actions, modules and dashboards. In our model are we have: * 593 Modules * 248 Dashboards * 1767 Actions Model builders need a more robust wayto manage this. Having the ability to filter these lists by a type…

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. Could we have this shown as a format description as 'number% 2dp' for…

Linked Formulas
Forgive me if this has been posted, but I did my due diligence and nothing turned up. 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…
