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…

Open source module link in NUX
Suggest to add the "Open Source module" ability to the NUX, incl. the current analysis options available in the old UX. Right now our users can use the open source module function in the old UX whenever they want to dig into the details, see all the underlying formulas/comments, and do ad hoc analysis. Especially, the…

Applying DISCO labels to Model Map
I would like to apply the DISCO-methodology to the Model Map. The most efficient way would be to label the Functional Areas to the DISCO. The model map could then be visually sequenced based on the DISCO steps: https://us.v-cdn.net/6037036/img/PLANS_DISCO_33530.jpg?small?v=1.0&px=200 This could improve the value of the…

Alias Property or Label
Description of the enhancement required: Alias Property or Label An example of the enhancement: The Item Name in a list might not always be indicative of what they might want to see in a report, but it’s how it’s stored within their metadata structures so it’s currently what’s being used. Sometimes as part of an alias they…

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!

Allow semi colon as a delimiter for emails as this is the default in outlook
As a user I should not have to configure Outlook to use commas as a delimiter for sending to multiple recipients as this option is not checked by default. The MAILTO function in Anaplan only accepts commas as separators for multiple email addresses. It would be useful if it also accepted semicolons.

Totals position for formatted list items
It would be very useful to be able to adjust the behaviour of the totals when displaying a list formatted item. Within a module one can control where the parents appear; it would be good to give this option for list formatted items too. It is possible to "create" this behaviour using dependent drop downs or by activating…

Open the saved view if you save a view
When creating a saved view, it will not open by default, but you need to open the saved view in order to finetune it. It will benefit the model builders, because now a lot of times you create a saved view and you need to remember to open it again before making more changes to the view and continue saving. A lot of times…

Shared weeks (splited by months)
We use ISO calendar split. This mean that a year contains about 52 calendart week and about 63 shared weeks: when a week is located in two months at the same time. This is the only way to move back and forth between Months and Weeks. Currently we have to maintain false Time hierarchy in order to have this option.

Ignore blank dates for MIN calculations
I'd like Anaplan to ignore blank dates when performing MIN calculations: MIN, x[MIN:y], and MIN as a summary function. For numbers, I can see why 0 is evaluated since sometimes those are true zeroes, but for dates this makes much less sense. With dates, I would want the MIN calculations to return blank only if all of the…

Add Automated Line Item Reference if a Field is used in an Import/Export action
It would be extremely beneficial and time saving if you could add a reference to a line item that states if it is being used in any import or export action and what that action is. This would be similar to if a line item is used in another line item or module.

Automatically rollback the model if an action within a process fails
Description of the enhancement required: Process rollback upon failure. An example of the enhancement: If an action within a process fails, then all the prior actions that succeeded should be erased How would it help their business process: The fact that a process "half-way" runs and my end user doesn't tell me, has…

TEXT() function to follow Excel rules
Being a Anaplan builder, I would like to extend TEXT() functionality to work similarly to excel function, exactly: 1) Follow different format conversions 2) Follow preset patterns, to exclude unexpected text from numbers results etc. Example of wrong work to be prevented with new functionality: Text(1504322.40)= 1504322.4…

Ability to reference a Line Item generically.
I am requesting the ability to use a generic 'me/myself/self/here' reference in functions that require a Line Item. An example: Original: PREVIOUS(Total Average Balance) + MOVINGSUM(Total Average Balance, -11, -10, AVERAGE) New: PREVIOUS(Here) + MOVINGSUM(Here, -11, -10, AVERAGE) The benefit of this is: if the Planner…

User List Top Level
The users' list should have a top-level for calculations. Currently, the users' list can't be used for inputting data as there is no top-level so errors occur when referenced by a line item without the user dimension.

Select a specific version when creating lookup formulas
Hi, It would be great if we could have formulas where we can specify a version (like it works for actuals) or if we could apply any line item to a specific version.

Make Versions a Format (DataType)
Make Versions a list format so we can use with LOOKUP logic based on user selections. Would prevent the need for versions mapped to a pseudo-verison list with IF/THEN logic, ultimately reducing complexity and increasing ease-of-build.

Allow Multiple layers of Conditional formatting with more flexible color options
Let conditional formatting options be stackable in layers (similar to MS Excel). In my current model we have a table that uses color across all cells based on the development stage. At times we also want to color cells that have an error to a particular color of red, however this is not possible without stackable…

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…

Formula for current user
It would be useful to have a formula to determiner a user from the users list so I could write lookup statements to source data from modules with users list in dimensions

Option to open Settings Menu Items as Tabs
In our model, we have 220+ dashboards and 400+ modules. When going between looking the list of modules and the list of dashboards, the lists reset my view at the top, causing me find the one I wanted to look at again, this can be very time consuming. Ideally I'd be able to open these Settings Menu items as tabs, so that…

Show Subsets in the General List area in settings under the List they belong to
I would love to see the subsets created under the list they belong to in the General List area in settings. It would make using them and maintaining them easier. And, when learning new models, it's really hard to tell the difference b/n a subset and a list and to what list the subset belongs to.

Calculation on top level selection in line item subsets and list item subsets
Hi Anaplan Community, Currently it is not possible to use a summary top level of a list subset or line item subset in a calculation without using a workaround using a boolean and using the complete list or line item list. If anaplan had the capability to allow modellers to use the top level in a line item subset or list…

Bulk Copy in Versions through Actions
Hi Team, We get request from customers where they have multiple versions of Budget like maintaining it quarterly. 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…

Rollback caused by "Is Summary"
Description of the enhancement: When a user incorrectly selects "is summary" for any line item with non simple formulas they hit a rollback. A rollback consists of a model closing, opening, reapplying a changelog, and saving. Can we look into a solution to capture that the formula isn't a summary line item before it causes…

Attribute Module for Inbuilt Users List
Suppose I have a module with Inbuilt Users list as a dimension (No other list should be used as a dimension in that module). Now if I can create a line item which will pull the attributes from Users Command of Anaplan into this module. Just click and refer. For example If I want to see what is the model role of the User I…

Support aggregation over time dimension
Description of the enhancement: Currently if the Source has a time dimension then the result must also when using SUM. Users would like to be able to aggregate over time dimension. How this would help our business processes: It would remove the need to do the following workaround. If you have: Result = A.a[Sum A.b] Result…

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.…
