Set default file to everyone
Would be really handy if Anaplan did either one of the following actions for import data sources: * Set the default file type as everyone or; * Permanently saves files regardless of default file type selected. This would really assist in debugging and remapping import files.

Display Action Notes on the Pop-Up Message, before a Process/Action is Run
In the Actions menu, all processes and actions has a text based "Notes" section. Being very upfront, I honestly didn't even know this section existed until about a few months ago, but I definitely think it can be further leveraged. It would be great if these notes could appear every time, next to your action, before you…

Prompt for Import Data Source name and Import Action name
Something that would considerably help with building cleaner models would be if users could enter names for import data sources and import actions during the import dialogue. This would prompt model builders to assign a considered name, and substantially help to identify import data sources and import actions after the…

Allow process to continue after action failure
As we schedule more processes via Hyperconnect where end users are not triggering themselves, we need to allow for processes to continue even upon an action failure. Perhaps allowing users to choose when creating the process whether or not they'd like the process to continue even if an action fails would be great. Just…

Improve time period imports for CSVs
The standard excel format for Month-Year is MMM-YY. I.e. if a user types Jan 20, excel will convert this to a numeric value and display Jan-20. Anaplan does not recognise this as a valid time period when importing. As this is the default excel format, it would be great if Anaplan could recongise this correctly. Rather than…

Date formatted columns taking more inputs correctly
Issue: When you copy+paste a table into excel, excel's default behavior for "Date" formatted or similarly formatted information changes the data slightly to a "MMM-YY" format from a "MMM YY" format and you are unable to paste back into the model/load as a basic default using upload. Current Solution: 1) Manually re-enter…

Anaplan Excel Add-In ( Reset Format)
Anaplan Excel Add-In 3.3 (Read/Write Query) Ability to reset any formatting as currently any changes made to Excel, Anaplan tries to over lay the difference than try to wipe out changes and replace with default view. Currently, we have the reset option in Dashboard, need the same in Excel.

Specify a destination for Export
All exports are to the users download directory, is it possible to be able to select a location before downloading. We use some csv downloads as a source of data for an Excel process, and the main spreadsheet looks for a source, if we have it for several users, and the source is in different C:\users\.....download folders,…

API customising for UPSERT ENDPOINT
It is required for the deployment of the UPSERT EndPoint as part of the Anaplan API to send only the new and changed entries from the SAP system to Anaplan instead of sending each time the full load file. We are currently trying to get Data from SAP via CPI( SAP Cloud Platform Integration) and we are facing this challange…

Model ID to display in Imports tab
It would be good to see model ID as a column in Actions->imports tab somewhere near Source Label & Source Object. I faced a specific issue when the model has a lot of imports, which were developed during a long period, and during this period, the source model was several times moved/renamed. Then it is nearly impossible to…

Print or get source to target line item mapping through API
Hi Anaplan community, Based on clients needs, I wanted to figure out a way to print out the line items' source --> Target mapping through the Anaplan API. This is when a model builder is doing an import and gets to manually map data from the source file to the target line items but here we can quickly have an array or list…

Time Display of Line Items Formatted based on Time Formatting in the Module
Treat line items in a dashboard based on the Time Formatting in the module when displaying data. For a simple example, I have a customer code, customer name, and its monthly revenue in a module. I only want to see the customer code and customer name at the beginning once, as it is does not have time applied to it, but I…

Allow for multiple list items in user selective access when importing from a module into users
We use imports to update our user list with selective access, but cannot do this when one user can have multiple access, e.g. access to multiple countries in a list, because the line item in the module has to be dimensionned by the list itself and in the list we can only select one item. Alternatively we may run the action…

Ability to change the format type of labels when exporting
Description of the enhancement required: When exporting labels for a number formatted field the output is in text format in all export file types currently. We need the ability to select the label format when exporting, so a numeric formatted field can remain number formatted when exported if desired. If we make this…

Have an option for action buttons to only be clickable is a defined criteria is met
as a model builder, I want to be able to publish an action to a dashboard for my end user to run, for example, an import. I only want this action to be selectable if certain other criteria has been met (for example, a boolean is checked confirming all relevant information has been entered)

Add Search Field
Add a search field when setting up an import source from another Anaplan model. Currently, we have to scroll to look for the desired list, module, or saved view.

Export configuration
When I export a module with a layout: Grid, all Pages, I get 1 excel sheet per item from my list in page which is the result I want, My only issue is that the excel tab is generic whereas I would need it to have the name of the item in the page, Is it Something that could evolve?

Being able to copy a cell with lines of text separated by a line break from Anaplan to Excel
Posting on behalf of Thales Example: Car 1 and Car 2 are separated by a line break When copying the above cell to Excel, we get: It creates two cells. To keep the text in one cell, the current workaround is to use a space instead of a line break in Anaplan, but for some users, it is easier to separate two distinct elements…

Import period format to Time Periods or Date formatted line items
As we drive to remove Text from our models, dealing with Dates is troublesome. When mapping files to Time Periods in modules, we can choose periods and define the format. For example, in my file I have YYYYMM. However, when I am trying to bring this data into a formatted list I do not have this choice. Even when formatting…

master data list synchronization between models
Master data lists needs often be synchronized between the Data Hub and spoke models. At the moment we do this as follows (for incremental loads): In the spoke model: 1. Set the property 'in use' of all list items on FALSE 2. Load in the data from Data Hub to your spoke model (incl. the TRUE flag for 'in use' property). 3.…

A way to identify import target
When a process contains several import with different input files (IDS) with targets that have long names it's impossible to distingush which file file stand for what. The screenshot below displays a situation when you can see two identical rows making it very confusing for an end user: Admin in this case may guess the…

Develop error when adding to a subset parent
When creating elements in a list that has a subset as parent, we can get an error because some element have the wrong parent. It would be very useful to have a more detailed error, with for example the rejected lines.

Actions
The action created for importing a .csv or text file does not save the mapping used. I can edit or view the mapping only if a module or list is imported from another module or list. Sometimes while importing a file there are possibilities the file has wrong header names and hence they are not mapped. To view the mapping…

Automatic unique codes for nonumbered lists
A unique identifier is required for items in a non-numbered list. There shouldn't be an option to edit it even by administrators (analogue of #-code in numbered lists) An example of the enhancement: Add another system property called for example (system code) and make it noneditable but accessible through formulas and…

Aggregation function for non-list data type
Currently the aggregation functions only work towards list data type. This disallows to fully replace VLOOKUP function in Excel. Please add at least some additional functionality: for example to search for FIRSTNONBLANK using text data type. That would allow to more easily deal with data without need to maintain excessive…

Remove "Display Name" duplication for numbered lists during export
When exporting the data from a numbered list field "Display name" is duplicated by a property that is selected as a displayed name. One of them should be removed as it adds additional clutter and confuses the customer. This would help to tidy and organize lists/number lists a lot better. Currently it's confusing for end…
