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…

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…

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
-
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…

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…

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…

Removing redundant modules
Are there any circumstances (apart from classic dashboards which we don't use) where modules cannot be deleted when in 'referenced by' blueprint viewing setting is empty? My understanding if the 'referenced by' blueprint viewing setting is empty then the module could be deleted safely.

User List Subset by Role
Is it possible to add the ability to create User list subsets by role to reduce sizing impact when creating user filters?

breakback when using average
consider adding ability to use breakback when the summary method is set to average (number entered into the summary period is entered into each of the lower time members). seems like a no brainer. would be used a lot for many % line items that are used in modules. thanks.
-
Time Range Start Period That is relative to current time period
Current: Time ranges require a fixed start period Request: Enable time range start to be setup relative to a specific period such the current time period. Also would be good if you can set up the start period with an offset. E.g. start period is current period minus 3 years. What occurs in several of our models as that…
-
Create a "Date Last Modified" column in Modules to let Admins see when line items were last changed
I would like the ability to interrogate when a Module has received changes to specific line items to help in troubleshooting bugs. For example, when someone changes a line item's summary type, or formular, or data type, or name etc. this should ideally change the "Date Last Modified" for that line item. I could see this…

True Connected planning : Formulas between models
As an anaplan coe and model builder, i d like to increase models interoperability and achieve the true connected planning ambition. To achieve that i need the ability to call into formulas line items from other models. This cannot be achieved currently and every model builder who practise import actions (who doesnt ?) To…
