Dependent dropdown list with Time Period
It would be great if I could create dependent dropdown lists with Time Period type. E.g. I have 2 line items with FY and HY types. And when I've selected FY18 in the first one, the second dropdown allows to select only H1 FY8 and H2 FY18, excluding items from other years

Configure Default Number format for an Anaplan Model
As a Model Builder, I would like to select a Number format for an entire model ("Global Default Number Format" ?). This could be very helpful for us to save time. This can work like the selection of the "Global Default Gride Style" in the Dashboard Settings.

Ability to add Folder structure to Lists, Modules, Actions etc
Being able to keep a model clean and well organised is really important in allowing model builders to understand and work with the model going forward. Often we find that as a model grows, the number of lists, modules, actions etc grows quite large and can start to become difficult to manage. This enhancement idea is to…

Creating New Model with No Access to others by Default
When a new model is created why does Anaplan provide access to other users within that workspace by default. It would be great if this gets restricted to the user who creates the model and then users can be added incrementally.

Dark theme/Night mode
As an Anaplan user/model builder, I find the white can be a little too much some times and not too easy on the eyes. It would be great is there was a night mode or dark theme that swapped the colour palette for something not as bright. This may also help with accessibility Thanks!

Color Differentiate the "Write", "Read", "None" access levels for Roles--> Modules etc.
On larger models, the list of modules, dashboards, actions etc. can become very difficult to sift through. When setting user role access for these lists in Roles-->Modules, Roles-->Actions etc. it is difficult to notice issues because the whole list becomes just a sea of blue words, all of similar lengths. It would be…

Enhanced Hotkey support across Anaplan
Some users prefer mouse, while others prefer hotkeys, and some like a mix somewhere between. Curently Anaplan feels 95% built around mouse-users, while keyboard users have a very low number of hotkeys to fall back on. Anaplan users would get a lot benefit if the platform considered hotkey use cases to be equally as…

Limit user entry for Dependent formatted line item
Currently if you format a line item as a Dependent list, the user gets a dropdown of list items that correspond to dependent criteria, same applies if they are typing the value. However it is possible to copy a name of a list item that is in the list (but does not suit dependent criteria) and paste it without getting an…

Save tabs & reopen tabs
As Model builder, I work with multiple modules and dashboards. After lunch or in the morning I need to search for all modules and dashboards I am working with and open them again. IDEA DESCRIPTION: In case I want to continue working with same modules and dashboards, I just click "save tabs" before closing my Google Chrome…

Extend the number of future years
For the purpose of calculating lease contracts in IFRS 16 it's sometimes needed to have wide time ranges in the model. Currently, the amount of future years is limited up to 50 years and past years up to 20 years (link). This means you have a maximum time range of 70 years. We experience that some lease contracts extend 70…

Anaplan Model Builder Line Item Diagram View
As a model builder, it would be great to have a "diagram view" available when reviewing code/line items. This concept originates from an actuarial modeling software called "Prophet". Basically a model builder would be able to enable/disable diagram view. If enabled, a precedent/dependent tree would appear at the top of the…

Ability to view a column in module blueprint showing "Used in Filter", similar to "referenced by"
Similar to how a column for "referenced by" can show me other modules where a line item is used, and "used in dashboard" can show me where it's on dashboards, as a modelbuilder it would be helpfult to have a way to tell where a line item is being used to drive a filter.

View a module's blueprint view side-by-side with its data view
I would like to be able to see the changes I make while in blueprint view of a module affecting its data view in real-time. Currently when I change something in blueprint (ie. a summary method) and have to toggle back and forth to see its affect. Unfortunately, depending on how far down in the list of line items the one…

Need a way troubleshoot a formula by stepping through it piece-by-piece
Much like most coding languages or even excel's formulas, to aid in writing complex code / formulas, there needs to be some way for a developer / builder to see how the individual components of it resolve one by one. I'd like a way to step through a formula to see where it's going wrong, and see values of the components so…

Allow the Create action to work with a numbered list that has no parent hierarchy
The Create action only works with numbered lists that have a parent hierarchy. My numbered list does not have or need a parent hierarchy so to satisfy this rule I have to create a dummy list (e.g. a List called All with a single member called All) and made that the Parent of my numbered list. (I also checked whether I…

In blueprint view, show if a line item is used in a filter
In blueprint view, we can see if a line item is referenced by a formula, but not if it's used in a filter. When cleaning models, we can end up deleting items used in filters and breaking filters with no warning.

Ability to view a module side-by-side with it's Blueprint mode
When model building I find myself regularly want to see a module AND it's blueprint mode simultaneously so I can scan formulas, change things in blueprint, and immediately see the effects without having to toggle back and forth. This would be like using split screen in Excel to compare two workbooks side-by-side Toggling…

Make dashboard titles that appear in "Used in Dashboards" columns clickable hyperlinks
When trying to work in Anaplan I find there to be a lot of "dead ends", meaning I have find where I want to go, but I have to stop, back out and go there in an unintuitive way that breaks my workflow. The "Used in Dashboards" and "Referenced By" columns are helpful to trace where things are used, but I still have to leave…

Collapsible Textboxes with ability for users to pin it open
For more complex dashboards, showing informative instructions can take up some major screen real estate. I find on first pass a user may want detailed instructions, but after they know how the dashboard works, they want them out of the way, instead of always having to scroll past them. As a model builder, I would like the…
