Time Ranges Notes
I would like to have Notes available to be able to record comments against a Time Range so as to give more clarity as to what the Time Range is used for and whether it needs to be rolled forward at a Year End as in some cases there may be no need to change the start year of the time range for instance but without knowledge…

Default number format for line item
As model builder I have to change format settings for each number-formatted line item individually when it's created. Would be nice if somewhere in the system I could setup default number format to be applied automatically when new line item is created. In example below you can see that once created a line item has the…

Ability to view Totals for selective access enabled list items
Users would have the provision to view the totals of the list items they have access to in a particular hierarchy even though the selective access is enabled

Users at tenant level
Hi Would be nice to be able to export users data at tenant level, just like you can do at model level: Also would be nice for system to synch with Admin Access Control>Assignments and Users e.g. if one disables a user in Admin section, the user does not appear in Assignments list. Below user is disabled but still appears…

Comments within formula
There should be a syntax to add comments within the formula. All programming languages provide this feature, for example: /* comment */ is used in Java, plsql. This will help to temporary remove any part of the formula for testing or add meaningful comments for reference.

Multiple Summary Methods Per Line Item
Description of the enhancement required: Ability to use different summary methods by module dimension (list) An example of the enhancement: We can currently summarise differently the lists and the time dimension but it would be great to be able to choose a different summary method by list/dimension. For instance if a…

Ability to Comment Code
The ability to put comment blocks and indents within your formulas, so as to allow model builders to better document and format their code within the models for readability and understanding purposes. This will help align Anaplan's language back to the basic features all other development languages used in an enterprise…

Current Date and Time
It would be great to have a function to get current date and time. Timezone settings could be common for all users and maintained in the settings section

Planning Gross Margin % and other Ratio metrics at levels above the bottom level
Pretty much everyone would agree that Gross Margin % (GM%) is a REALLY important metric when planning your business. It’s a key performance indicator for healthy past performance, and a key driver for future investment decisions and performance management. Employees are frequently bonused on revenue and margin goals – so…

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.…

Ability to test the model as a non WSA
Hi, It would be great if we could have a button to toggle which will let us replicate the non-WSA access. This will help in cases when there is a single model builder and he needs to test a functionality created for Non - WSA. This should not remove the workspace admin rights but more of like a 'Test as Non WSA' type of…

NUX - Pushing Changes from TEST App pages to PROD App Pages
BACKGROUND: We utilize ALM and have everything built out in Apps for End Users. We have Duplicate Apps for TEST and PROD. PROBLEM: This becomes a pain and time consuming maintaining the changes you make in both TEST and PROD. Currently we have to make a duplicate of each page edited, move it to the new app, then repoint…

Syncing Revision Tags
When pushing changes from DEV to PROD there is a box you need to uncheck to make sure PROD does not go offline. If a golden rule of the ALM is to not take off a model from PROD that box should default to being unchecked.

Increase Note Character Count (in Blueprint Mode)
250 characters or how ever many is too small for saving off larger formulas when modeling or if saving detailed descriptions/insctructions. Please increase to a few thousand. Thanks.

As a modelbuilder I would like to use FindItem with a property or line item
I have seen that I am not the only one facing the issue that there is property or lineitem which is neither a code or name of list but it is needed for identification, like a WHERE statement in SQL. Might it be possible to extend the FINDITEM function by an optional parameter to reference a property or lineitem which has…

Ability to display negative numbers as positives
Detail description of the enhancement that is being requested: We have numerous requests to have costs displayed as positive numbers but aggregate as negative. The current workarounds are very difficult To provide more clarification, could you please explain how you hope the enhancement would assist in your business…
-
Dynamic Cells Calculation (DCC)
This feature would allow to selectively switch between "Calculation" or "Manual Input" on a specific LineItem. Much like the DCA, the DCC would be based on a boolean. When True, the formula would apply but when False the user would be allowed to type data. This would allow to make Anaplan much more dynamic and greatly…
-
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…

New Function To Convert Date Format to Text Format
It would be very useful to have this functionality rather than convert to numbers through DAY, MONTH, YEAR and back to text through TEXT function. Best practice would dictate to split these functions out but this increases clutter and causes unnecessary calculations in models.
-
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…
-
Today() Function
I'm wondering why in Anaplan we can only have to input current period in Time. As we're using Anaplan as Supply Chain planification tools and we work really at planning on days level. So it's necessary for us to determine "today"'s date. The solution we use now is to launch an automatic import and update the "Today" item.…
-
Line items
Hi Anaplan Team, Model builders could work more quickly and efficiently if we could display the list of filters and import actions. When we attempt to delete a line item, Anaplan shows the referenced line items, but it does not indicate which line items that specific line item is using in filters and import actions.
-
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
-
Allow for line item subset to be more than just number formatted
Description of the enhancement required: Line Item Subsets are often used to build filter modules, as an alternative to using the Show/Hide functionality. Using a Boolean against a Line Item Subset on a filter module makes it very easy to select which columns should be shown or hidden on a dashboard. An example of the…

September 2022 releases and October sneak peek - View Modules Used In Pages
The release this month is helpful but I think it missed expectations. What would be more helpful is to be able to see what UX pages a module is published on in the exact same way the "Used in Dashboards" column is in the Modules. The update would more or less be "View Pages Used in Modules". I used the column in the…
-
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…
