Add Folders for Modules and Lists
Similar to the idea posted here, but with this idea could be a possible solution? * Add folders to object contents (e.g. module, list, and actions). * Allow the creation of sub-folders. It goes without saying, but this would really improve model organisation, especially for larger models. The functionality could be similar…

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…

PREVIOUSITEM() formula which is like PREVIOUS() but references a list item instead of time
Hi Anaplan, I was searching for the use of the PREVIOUS function but on a list item but it is not currently possible. @peter_mcanena has suggested this but only in a discussion thread. So as his idea suggests: PREVIOUSITEM(x, y) where * x: Any expression * y: List The expression x must be based on the list y.…

Display warning message when deleting a line item which is being referred as a filter.
Hi All, In Case if we are using any line item as a filter and if we are deleting it a warning message should pop up similar to when we delete line items which are being referred in a module. It helps maintain the saved views as most of them will be created based on specific filter or condition.

Allow hashing out of lines in the formula editor
Issue: As a model builder, we sometimes need to alter lines of code in the formula of a module. It would be really helpful if there was a character (e.g. hash symbol "#") that Anaplan can ignore so that model builders are able to quickly remove certain lines of code from being used in the calculation without having to…

Pages in a model - adding a category column
My idea is to have the category column of a page of an app show up in the pages menu e.g. page, category, app….. columns This makes it easier to identify pages related to each category without having to explore each page by clicking on it. Very useful, especially when there are lots of app pages.

Can choose CF line items across applicable modules.
Greetings Model Builders, I would like to suggest an idea/enhancement to the current modeling approach that we are doing it for CF's. We need an option to select a line item from different module (that has same dimensions as target) but not only in the current module while applying a CF. I feel through this we can ignore…

Ability to copy a process
It would be nice to have the possibility to copy a process. This will save some time when developing, because you can easily amend a simular process instead of collecting all actions again.

Users native list to have a list subset for logged on users
Now that the Users list supports subsets. I would like to have an option to have the ability to have a users subsets list based on logged on users. Background: Most modules with users dimensions are used to support personalised reporting filters. In general, if users are not logged on these modules should not include the…

Show calculation time directly in model
Would be very beneficial for the model builder to see the calculation time (e.g. from model open) of the individual line items with formulas. The current cell count is a great help when it comes to optimizing the model and identifying how to reduce the size hereof. However, the calculation time of the different line items…

Anaplan Time Range Limitation
I was very surprised recently when I discovered a limitation to Anaplan's permitted time range. It may surprise others to know that Anaplan is limited to supporting only 70 Years (20 past and 50 future) and the maximum number of years possible is 90 (using a time range set, as of writing, to 1981 with 90 periods). I did…

Variable Rounding
It would be helpful to allow the use of variables for the rounding direction and method, instead of only permitting hard-coded value. I'm working on a use case where for a certain planning scenario, there is a need to round up for certain product/country intersections, but round down elsewhere. I have a workaround, but…

New Model Experience: Re-open last closed tab
Often when you are model building or analysing an issue, you close a tab (be it a dashboard or a module) and realise you should have kept it open. Often that then means having to go away and search for the object again. It would be really useful if like on internet browsers like Chrome, you had the option to re-open the…

Actions/processes to be triggered by boolean line items in the model
This ideas comes from the need for many of my clients which use the classic engine to use concatenated/combination lists to overcome sparsity issues. Whenever, a new combination of dimensions used either in actuals/budget/forecast is used an action can be triggered to run which automatically creates the combination list so…

Last Edited, last Author in Blueprint Mode
Would be nice to see a column in the Blueprint mode who edited this line Item at last, or when did it edited.

Please change the layout of blueprint view!
The New UX is great and has drastically improved the end-user experience however, the model builder experience has really lagged behind. Anaplan models should be as easy to build as they are to use. There are some really easy wins to be had that will drastically improve the experience for model builders, in this…

Automate workflow start based on line item trigger
As a process owner, i need to be able to set up workflow template that can be started automatically based on a trigger event with when a line item is set to true lr false. The trigger would allow to start the workflow with a machine task allowing to run cloudworks processes, send notifications and / or assign tasks to…

Supply Chain Related Functions
Just like we have functions for Financial (COUPDAYBS, COUPDAYSNC, etc) and Call Center Planning (AGENTS,ANSWERTIME, ARRIVALRATE) can we have something similar to support Supply Chain Planning? Like End of Stock, Beginning Inventory, etc based on input parameters?

Prior Year YTD total option for Time Ranges
Hi, We have a large reporting requirement for reporting versus prior year for reporting month and Year to date. The month is easily achievable but if we want to create views that compare Prior year to date versus current year to date its a lot more fiddly. Alot of our monthly reporting is done through the Excel Add in and…

Multi-Dimensional Sorting for Hierarchical Lists
We need a way to sort hierarchical lists by multiple dimensions. Currently, Anaplan's 'Sort Order Action' for hierarchical lists only allows sorting by parent or by child, which limits our flexibility. Problem Statement:Currently, when working with hierarchical lists, the sorting functionality is limited to a single…

Budget vs Forecast Version
Hi, I have multiple versions in my model. (Actual, Budget, Forecast, Scenario 1) I was wondering about the best way (best practice) of pulling in values for one version, else formula. For example: IF version = Budget Then valuex ELSE formula I was wondering what the actual syntax would look like. I don't know how to make…

Add Filter Functionality to Modules Tab
The modules tab should have filter options for 'Functional Area', 'Applies To' and some other columns that allow the model builder to quickly search for a particular module(s). If I want to find all modules that are dimensioned by 'x' dimension, how do I find it quickly? Exporting to Excel and filtering there is time…

Option to Zoom in and out of the Anaplan Modelling screen
When to view numbers or check closely some numbers it would be great to have the option of zoom in and zoom out on the Anaplan window page for all the modules, list and tab would be very helpful to the modelers

Option to select multiples users in the Users tab
To replicate a users rights to new users , it would be great to have the option to select multiple users via filter so that the required 2-3 users can be in view on the page and copy paste can be easily done. Also option to filter users name alphabetically would be beneficial

Formula Break-Down Without Space Penalty
Currently, to adhere to best practices it is beneficial to break out parts of a complex calculation into separate line items for logic traceability and audit-ability. However, in many models we're constrained by space and can effectively reduce space (especially in large multi-dimensioned modules) by combining logic in…

Source Model view model labels
In the Source Models view, when you change the name of a model being sourced, the name change does not carry through to the Source Models view. This can cause confusion. Can we have the Source Models view reflect the updated Model names being sourced.
