Data Tags as a comment feature for developers
Hi team, As a Model Builder and BAU Support Team Specialist, I am interested in documenting enhancements in our models. Using only the Notes feature as a commenting tool, it is getting really hard to track them all after a couple of years of the model being rolled out. At some level of complexity of the model, it is…

Creating a version with import action - access settings
Hi, When manually adding versions, you have the option to select access setting. By default, it is Write. See photo below. However, if you try to create a new version via import action, you can't specify the access setting. The new version created, has by default No Access. I wanted to automate the version creation using…

Simultaneous processing (multi-threading) of Anaplan actions
As a user and/or model builder, I want to be able to run actions simultaneously where possible to speed up the data processing and list maintenance actions. This function should also allow other actions to be run only after certain actions have finished running successfully. As an example, if I want to load trial balance…

add processId, actionId, fileId as columns in Settings (for API development)
This will speed up API development and runtime both. The API requires ID's as parameter, however Anaplan UI shows only the Name. When using API for sending data to Anaplan or triggering a process we now use the name for searching the id. Currently this requires additional looping in our API framework. If we know from the…

Default Export File Type to CSV
This one is simple. Anaplan's recommended export file type is CSV, yet the export dialog defaults to Excel / XLS. Yesterday we had an integration mysteriously run for 7 hours, later realizing it was because the export file type wasn't changed to CSV. Please allow model admin to set the default export file type to CSV. This…

Excel Add-In - Remap
When using the Remap feature, if you select a view that doesn't match the original structure, it should give an error instead of crashing excel. The error message was available in 2.x and is not working in 4.0

MSP requirement for tenant integration

Print as wysiwyg
What you see is what you get (wysiwyg) is a common feature in most reporting tools and a fair request. Currently when we try to export through classic or new UX (as PDF), what we get is far from what we see. This greatly reduces the application of some of our modules as we cannot create PDFs and forward it to higher ups…

New UX needs to have a multi-lingual user interface to allow non-english language implementations
Hi Anaplan, The New UX does not currently support a multi-lingual interface. Many of our clients are asking for this to be implemented. It would be really beneficial for many Anaplan Users across the world (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America) for the new UX and UI to support a multi-lingual interface. Great idea suggested…

Import Action Categories and Separators
The import action management section often becomes messy because ALL import actions are saved. Would love the ability to create sections and separators, to better organize the import actions I intend to repeat. The following example was created from dummy imports, but it would be great if this feature were built in. I…

Local settings for .csv imports - Booleans
Hello, I faced a problem when importing boolean values to anaplan as part of csv file. Our company uses localized version of MS Excel, which when saving a file containing boolean values to text/csv, keeps them not as TRUE or FALSE, but as local equivalents ИСТИНА and ЛОЖЬ. I can try to change my own excel settings, so I…

Default subset setting
Suggest to add ability for model builder to change the default setting for list subsets. I.e. add option to select whether a subset setting should be true or false for any new list items added. This will make it easier and more flexible to work with subsets, and help avoid having to create a dummy module and action to…

Copy Paste Formatting into other Tools (Excel)
Description: Much like this example, Anaplan formats in odd and weird ways when moving into Excel. Numbers being copied pasted into excel should retain a numbered format instead of scientific notation when pasted into Excel. Example of Enhancement: Values copied from Anaplan have a format attached to the value in the…

Search option while importing Saved Views from one model to another
While building imports from one model to another, it is tough to look for Saved Views as they are not sorted alphabetically. It would help if we can have an option to search the Saved View while importing.

Filters when loading data from Flat File or external sources
It would be very useful to have filters to filter our some of the unwanted data in the source while loading the data into a list. Example Filter out certain Time periods, empty products, range of customers etc. Otherwise this is done in the model or the Hub after bringing all data. Other planning solutions have this even…

Description of the enhancement required: We are requesting that Anaplan implement changes so that, when a process with multiple actions is run, no updates (manual data updates or configuration updates) are allowed to occur in between each action's running. This means that the process should be treated as a global action…

[ACTIONS/IMPORTS] When importing use the file name for automatic mapping
Description: As a model builder, I want to be able to use the file name that the user uploads, so that it can pick up automatically a dimension. This can be done when the source system exports files that have dynamic naming based on the selection of dimensions. Example of Enhancement: I’ll know this is successful when I am…

Feature while Exporting
Currently when we export the data out of Anaplan we either create line items in the export module or we rely upon Properties of the dimension. Idea I am proposing is to give modellers third option which is to pick the line items from diff modules in the export window (Preferably System module) which share the common…

Dump Files in Mulesoft Connector
Hi, The Anaplan Connector for Mulesoft only let you download the dump files in path, it push you to work with a local server, when in almost all the cases the customers use Cloud environment and the data goes through streaming to Anaplan.

Update Anaplan connector for Informatica Error Message
When using the Anaplan connector for Informatica Cloud and an export fails when writing the output to a table that it can't accommodate a generic error message of [ERROR] Exception in thread “Thread-9” is displayed.

Option to export Graphs with Title and/or Labels
When exporting a graph from the New UX, the title of the card is dropped as are the labels/selectors. This is the case whether it is exported via "print chart", or PNG/SVG/JPEG.

Allow the option to not create an import as an action
The ability to select whether you want a manual data import saved as an action on the actions tab is requested. The reason being that during development and for sprint review purposes, sometimes test data or files with lists are uploaded to allow clients to visualize the end product. Every time an import is run, an action…
