Select parent level
I would like to see a formula similar to parent but "inverted". When I have an unbalanced hierarchy and need a parent a similar level I would like to choose level from the top instead. example: invparent(item,3) which would always give the level 3 item for all parts of the list instead of trying to find our a way to get a…

Add ability to assign a functional area to a new module in the create a module dialogue box
It would save time to not have to always go back to the modules tab and assign a functional area if I could do it upon creating the module, which seems sensible!

Filtering of subset based Module based on full list
If a module is based on a subset I would like to have opportunity to able to filter it based on the other modules which are applied to original lists. currently i need to create a new line item which will be applicable to that specific subset. an example of application is a dummy timescale (which contains for example 7…

Bulk Copy in Versions through Actions

Like Budget should be open like * Budget V1 : Jan Onwards * Budget V2: April Onwards * Budget V3: July Onwards * Budget V4: Oct Onwards However, When we switch between the versions we should be able to copy the…

Assign Action - Disable unassign
Assign Action dialog window allows end users to assign new elements, but also to remove already assigned elements. In some scenarios it is not desired, as modelers are no in control here (we cannot put any validation if an element can be removed / unassigned). The idea is to add a configuration option (Boolean) to allow…

The Anaplan platform leverages a patented in-memory, Java-based, planning engine for calculation called Hyperblock", as we can read in the CIO Guide White Paper on anaplan.com. The engine allows to rapidly calculate billons of cells. It is also important to understand that it recalculates only what needs to be…

Customize Branch Copy Action
Branch copy is a very powerful action, widely used in what-if-scenario analysis. It can also be used to copy, for example, promotion events. The problem is, when we create a copy of a completed promotion event also the status is copied indicating that the newly copied event is also completed, which obviously is not the…

Day Period
When using Weeks as a Calendar Type in Anaplan Time, there is no easy way to aggregate from days to months. We would be able to use TIMESUM function, but you cannot used simple Dates to indicate start and end of the month as function parameters -> it needs to be Period type. Unfortunately line items with Period type can…

Defaulting filters in Assign Action Screen
Assign functionality can be used, for example, to add products to customers. But how will we make sure, that only active products will be added? We can define a filter in assign actions (we can't use Boolean as a filter, but we create a list formatted property for that purpose). The main problem is, that when we open the…

Performance of line items calculations with cell count 0
Anaplan platform gives to modelers great flexibility in terms of how it is used, once in a while leading to situations, where modelers design solutions, which were never considered by Anaplan Platform developers. One example like that is usage of a single element list with subset as a module dimension - to turn on or…

ACTUALVERSION()
We currently have the functionality to retrieve the values from the Current Version using CURRENTVERSION() Please can we have ACTUALVERSION() to do the same for the Actual Version This provides consistency and will simplify the modelling experience David

Provide model builders a "Model Cleanup View"
Our model is rather large, and over multiple development cycles and many different developers we have a large amount pieces of the model that may now be obsolete. The trouble is with a large model it is incredibly cumbersome to locate safely remove clutter without the fear of causing major issues in the model. The only way…

Quick way to open referenced Line Item or List Property
It would be great to have a quick way to open a referenced Line Item or List Property from an existing formula. It can be very tedious & time consuming to hunt through the modules & lists, then again through the line items & properties to locate the reference, especially when there are multiple levels of references to…

Default Settings for new Line Items, Summaries, for Model and Modules
There are two other ideas that exist already one that are by default set sums to off and another that is to set defaults by module. Why limit to just as a whole product or module, why not give a default for builders or similar added to the Model Setting. All models are set to default none for all summaries and line item…

Use Time Ranges in formulas: Make the Time Range a named member in the Time Dimension
If Time Ranges were true named member in the TIME dimensions we could easily control formulas and filters based on a time range. It would also allow for YoY changes in formulas to be maintained easily w/o having to create multiple line items. Many companies need to save off older versions for compliance reasons. Adding the…

Ability to define line item 'applies to' when adding that line item to a module
As a model builder, I would like the ability to define the 'applies to' of a line item when creating and adding it to a module. This enhancement could work by enriching the current box for adding line items and allowing users to set the applies to at this point The benefit of this would be the ability to add line items…

Formula Error Log
As a model builder and workspace admin, formula errors can be costly. My idea is to add an error log that tracks formula and calculation errors. This will help document who was doing what when something goes wrong. It will also help with enablement as you can review the error log and use it for training - ensuring that the…

Day time period format
We currently cannot have Daily as a Time Period format for a line item Use Case: Mapping from a fake daily timescale to Real time. Issue: Currently we have to use a date formatted line item and to map from a Fake Daily timescale in the format 1 Jan 2019 to a date requires a lot of text and string manipulation
