Model Search Idea: Recently opened objects
As a model builder, I would like to be able to have a quick list of recently visited objects (such as lists, modules, dashboards, pages - everything that opens as a separate tab in NMX) - at least 10 objects. This will save a lot of time while working on a particular functionality in big models for a long time. Every time…

Ability to select multiple grids and drag and drop as needed
While building UX page, it would be better if the developer can select multiple cards/grids in the page and move them together rather than doing it one by one which would save lot of time

Provide Retrospective Access to Optimizer Process Failed Message
When the Optimizer has failed (e.g. due to a timeout) I would like to be able to access the Process Failed message and details for the most recent Optimizer run from the Actions tab in the model. This feature could be provided e.g. via a hyperlink in the Start Date and Time (UTC) column. The message contains useful…

New Function To Convert Date Format to Text Format
It would be very useful to have this functionality rather than convert to numbers through DAY, MONTH, YEAR and back to text through TEXT function. Best practice would dictate to split these functions out but this increases clutter and causes unnecessary calculations in models.

Option to not include current period in YTD calculation but in YTG instead
Description of the enhancement required: YTD calc should NOT include the current week and YTG should include the current week. How would this engancement improve your processes: I do several YOY indexes and they are all incorrect because of this. When I compare YTD this year to YTD prior year there is always extra data in…

Renaming the saved views without disturbing modules or creating new views
Hello Everyone, So found this easy of way of renaming the views without disturbing the module or creating a new saved view. Path to rename the saved view View > Manage views > Rename the required saved view > save

Today() Function
I'm wondering why in Anaplan we can only have to input current period in Time. As we're using Anaplan as Supply Chain planification tools and we work really at planning on days level. So it's necessary for us to determine "today"'s date. The solution we use now is to launch an automatic import and update the "Today" item.…

Ability to disable/remove the cancel button for users running a process.
Description of the enhancement: To allow removal of Cancel button when triggering multiple steps actions (Process). How this enhancement will improve your processes: To prevent users from aborting the multiple steps actions resulting in corrupted or deleted tables. For example, user aborted run after deletion of table and…

Improve history logging when changing current period
When a change is made to the current period of a model, the history record which gets generated only contains a description of "Change Time Scale". It would be useful if the Previous Value and New Value fields could be populated as well to understand the change in current period
-
Allow for line item subset to be more than just number formatted
Description of the enhancement required: Line Item Subsets are often used to build filter modules, as an alternative to using the Show/Hide functionality. Using a Boolean against a Line Item Subset on a filter module makes it very easy to select which columns should be shown or hidden on a dashboard. An example of the…

Filtering Line Items
Some way of filtering line items; Use case is that users are on pages, and different users wanted to see a different set of line items. We were using a line item subset, but since it only could include line item that had numeric values, it could not hold all line items. Current behavior: Line item can only be filtered on…

September 2022 releases and October sneak peek - View Modules Used In Pages
The release this month is helpful but I think it missed expectations. What would be more helpful is to be able to see what UX pages a module is published on in the exact same way the "Used in Dashboards" column is in the Modules. The update would more or less be "View Pages Used in Modules". I used the column in the…
-
Iterate Process X Times
Functionality should be added that allows users to iterate a process X times. This could be done with nested processes (which have gained support and would have other use cases), or some other configuration to determine if a process should be run several times. Use Case - pro forma financial statement development. To…

App Hub videos
Some of the Anaplan App Hub apps obviously have videos assosciated with them but it may well be that they all do but they can be difficult to locate. Where there are supporting videos (on YouTube) for Models in the App Hub could you give a link to those videos in the App Hub.

Week Coverage, also known as forward coverage or stock cover
A description of the enhancement requested Week Coverage, also known as forward coverage or stock cover. As an example we have Forecast Sales and Current Stock. Formula should calculate how many future periods of forecast will be covered by Current stock. This is achievable in Anaplan with below function: Look Forward +…

Anaplan History Extraction based on Specific Criteria
Hi Anaplan Team, We now only have one option for extracting history: selecting a date range. It will benefit all model builders and Anaplan workspace admin users who truly take part in model development if we can offer more options, filters, or criteria. History Extraction Options along with Data Range: based on a specific…

Function to Count Booleans
There are occasions in a model where I want to count the number of True or False boolean values. Currently the only way to achieve this is to have another line item with an IF THEN function to create a 1 or 0 and then sum the line item. It would be great to have a function to do this automatically.
-
Multi-layer sort
Would be very useful to have a multi-layer sort (not filter) like in Excel i.e. Sort by column A alphabetically, then by column B, then by C. Acknowledging the workaround to concatenate the desired fields into a text line item and sort by that, but to me a publicised workaround is always a pointer to a needed/desired…
-
Model Map, stop automatic build of map
When selecting Model Map, Anaplan automatically builds the map. For a large model this can take a while to build and is rarely what you want. Instead you should be allowed to make your module selection, perhaps with checkbox for immediate dependents 'to' and 'from' and then have a 'Build Map' button.

Limit of 60 chars must be removed in the list item / lineitem name
Hi, The current limit of 60 chracters restricts the users to make sophisticated codes in complex usecases. It would be great if this limit cna be extended. Thanks.

TEXTLIST summary for line items with format set to Text
As Model Builder, I want to have additional choice - TEXTLIST - when selecting summary for line items formatted as Text. When TEXTLIST is selected, summary should join/concatenate lower level data. Preferably, joining should be done using separator defined by user (as different appilcations may need comma, colon, dot,…

Optimizer Error Handling
Hi As a Model Builder I like to see the exact constrain failure for my variable definition while constructing an Optimizer action. Currently Anaplan gives are generic message for Optimizer failure, in case we use multiple constrains for a solution and any one constrain doesn't meet the criteria process fails, if Anaplan…

Dates in Timesum
Timesum formula currently works with time periods. When the granularity of the data is Days, the formula cannot return anything (although it does not generate an error). The idea here is to enable Timesum to also work with Dates so that we can apply this formula to more granular use cases.
-
Keep Source Number Format for Line Item Subsets
Would love for Anaplan to have the ability to keep the source format when doing a collect function. For example, when looking at a P&L report, Gross Profit is a $ but Gross Profit Margin is a %. When bringing values in as a COLLECT, would like those number formats to remain intact.
-
Module view: Column Wrap
I would like to have an option in Module view to set width of columns so that the name of line item and data is visible. Similar to excel functionality where you can click on "Wrap Text" and it sets the width automatically rather than change it manually.

Add ability to import Format, Summary, Applies To as part of module blue print import
Currently, you can only import line item name, line item code and parent in module blue print mode as per screenshot below: The request is to expand it to include the ability to import Format, Applies To and Summary. And if not too complex, the Formula as well. I'm finding during various project engagements that there are…
-
Disable formulas in Version
I would like to see the possibility to disable formulas for an entire Version. This would enable to save a bulk copy of latest forecast without regards to change in logic. Currently this is managed by saving a copy of the entire model but that makes it hard to compare.

Set conditional formatting by formula
Description of the enhancement required: Improve conditional formatting by allowing formulas. An example of the enhancement: Have it function similar to excel where formulas can be used to test for conditions. How would it help their business process: Extra line items must be used to check for a condition, if conditional…

Function to return the number of leaf items in a standard or numbered list.
I think it would be very useful to have a function to return the number of leaf items present in a standard or numbered list. Example: QUANTITY(x) Where 'x' is the name of the list, also selectable from 'General Lists'. Reasoning: This would serve as a cleaner way to get the number of items in a list, instead of doing…
