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…

Ability to customize Dimensions for line item summaries
I would like the ability to customize the dimensions across which the automatic line item summary will apply. Currently, we can only specify Summary (for all selected dimensions) and Time Summary. This means that for multi-dimensional line items, if I need a summary over one dimension I am forced to summarize over all…

Restore Open Dashboards and Modules Tabs when Model is closed accidentialy (or due to login timeout)
I'd like to see an option that we re-logging into Anaplan - I can re-open my most recently used model and any correspoding tabs (dashboards, modules, etc.,) that were open. Sometimes the model is closed automatically after login time-out, other times the model is accidentially closed by selecting the Anaplan logo at 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

Create Function for ADDWEEKS
Please could we have ADDWEEKS as a function to work the same as ADDMONTHS and ADDYEARS the current workaround is to convert the weekly time period into a date then add or subtract 7
-
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.

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…

Include data changes by actions in model history
Description of enhancement requested: Capture all before/after values in history - show what values were before and after for all changes, even if executed by an action How would this help the business process: Administratrators use this information to see what specifically was changed
-
Increase 60 minute, no activity model unload
A description of the enhancement required: As an Workspace Admin I want a solution that prevents Anaplan to go out of in memory after 60 min because I need to prevent my end users to be confronted with a long load time. An example of the enhancement: Could be an option to set time slots when a model should always be kept…

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…

Extend workspace size beyond 720 GB
We need Anaplan to develop into a truly scalable enterprise solution. Introduction of Hypermodel workspace were a major leap in 2020. Now we need Anaplan to move to next level/indefinite. The max workspace cap will force us to implement an architecture with less generic structures. This hard cap pose a risk of uncontrolled…

Use ChatGPT's API to produce commentary and send it back into Anaplan
I've love to see some more native API's to connect Anaplan into ChatGPT API to be able to generate commentary. This would be an application similar to CloudWorks or PlanIQ that allows you to configure certain fields to be selected and then a certain style or questions can be asked to ChatGPT to produce the commentary based…
-
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.
-
Item count in subset tab
As a model builder I'd like to be able to see number of items in a subset. The same is applicable for Line item subset.
-
Lengthb / LENB function
I would like to request a function to get the length of multibyte string in Anaplan. In some countries such as Japan and China, users can use multi-byte characters to enter number and alphabets. Our user wants to avoid entering the list name (i.g. Customer Name) in multi-bytes by mistake. Currently, end users can set same…

Enhance "Delete from List Using Selection" by accepting filters in combination with Users list
As a model builder, I would like to have the possibility to create an action with the option "Delete from List Using Selection" by using booleans line-items in combination with the Users List additional the List where it is needed to delete the elements. Currently, when trying to build an action "Delete from List Using…
-
Switch Statement Formula
Adding a switch statement formula to Anaplan to get rid of long nested IFs! This would assist in readability (and therefore maintenance) of complex formulae. Switch statements allow you to test a condition, and assign an outcome to each condition. For instance you may have want to test what mode of transport is being used:…

Add 'Does Not Contain' as condition when performing a filter on a text formatted line item
Many of our users would find it helpful if when filtering on text formatted line items, there was the option to use 'Does Not Contain'. There is a 'Contains' condition, which has proved helpful, however a 'Does Not Contain' would also provide a lot of value.
-
Dependent dropdown - Based on line items
HI Team, Just realized that the dependent dropdown will work only based on the property that the list has. As we are following the best practice not to create properties in a list, can we make the dependent dropdown based on line items. Agree/Disagree or Any comments? Regards, Kavin.

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
-
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…
-
automatic backup
It would be very good to have the possibility of executing an action or process that makes an automatic backup of the model.
-
Increase the size limit of notes
A description of the enhancement required: The notes on line items is 250 characters which isn’t enough. A story for why the enhancement is required (specifically, how would it aid the business process): When you write a note on a formula, you have to explain WHAT is does, WHY you did it, HOW it’s used etc etc, 250 isn’t…
-
Make Versions a Production List
Enabling Versions as a production list would allow business users (not developers) to add flexibility and enable business users better management of versions. Consider the scenario where there is a variable amount of Forecasts that could happen in a year, or if a Forecast becomes current/next.
-
Ability to collapse/group module views
Description: Currently Views when they are setup are listed under a module. It would be useful if there was a way to hide views, only show relevant views to users (i.e. they MUST be able to decide what they want to see not an ADMIN), or at the very least a way to collapse/group the views. Benefit/impact: Currently one of…
-
Ability to archive versions in a model
Desription of the enhancement: We would like the ability to 'archive' versions within a model, so that we can save the data and look back at it later, but it will not take up space. Note that version subsets will not fully meet this requirement, because if you remove a version from a subset in a module, you will lose data…

Mass Change of Apps Associated Model
Right now if I duplicate an App to point it to a test environment I have to change each page from the manage models screen. It would be nice to be able to either copy and paste the model change to all the page lines or have a select all feature that lets me change all of them at once.

Stop system from processing changes.
We need the ability to stop this. This has gotten out of hand recently. It is impossible to work with this. I make one simple mistake and I have to wait 20 minutes…. This is unacceptable and makes working Anaplan impossible. This needs to be fixed asap. Top priority.
