Maintain Native Application Formatting Following Refresh (Excel/PowerPoint Add-Ins)
We have found that when leveraging the Anaplan Add-ins for both Excel and PowerPoint often times any formatting done on the data to resize columns/rows or change fonts/colors is completely lost following a refresh of the underlying data. We would like the ability to maintain native application formatting when refreshing…

Ability to search Excel Add-In page selectors
The Excel add-in currently does not allow users to search for list members within a page selector. This almost makes the add-in unusable for organizations with large lists. The solution would be to add a simple search option similar to the Anaplan dashboard/page interface, where users can click a drop-down page selector…

Ability to set up a Docusign Developer Environment with Anaplan
Docusign has the ability to have 2 different environments, a production and development environment. As of right now, Anaplan can only connect with the Docusign production environment. As a developer, if Anaplan could connect with the Docusign production account it could help with our Application Lifecycle Management.

I am building a model where I need to reject entire import whenever there's any error during import process. As of now them action runs and the module/list is getting populated but the cell which had incorrect value(reason for the error) is not, leaving it blank. This case is not ideal for the customer and they want to…

Force the API cell read to include Row Header Labels.
When using the data read API, any row dimensions do not have headers. This is an option in the Export tab when using the UI. When trying to process the results via code, I have run into issues a few times where this is a problem. Please consider always including the row label headers or at a minimum provide a setting to…

Allow for more control around duplicating, adjusting, and managing Exports
Imagine you need to update an export with a new column, but you want to retain the previous export for another group. In order to create this new use case, you now have to create an entire new export OR you have to inform the other team that you are adding in additional columns (even if you are allowed). Once you do fix…

Execute Import Action from Source Model
Currently, the import action needs to be defined and executed on the destination model. (Import by "Pull") Though the authority of the destination model should be set, it will be useful to execute the import action from the import source model. The improvement will be helpful to enable freely set the action execution…

Add Wildcard Functionality to Anaplan Connect Scripts
When working with the latest updates to Anaplan Connect I noticed a few of the scripts that require specific List IDs would be more effective if there was a wildcard option. This would allow users to pull every list from a model and all the related properties.

Allow importing items with the same name into different levels of a hierarchy
When importing items into a child list. If there is an item in that hierarchy which already has that name it will be ignored in the import. However if you create the list items manually, you can give items the same name at different levels of the hierarchy. It would be helpful to be able to flag certain items in list…

Allow multiple line item updates with the transactional API
The current write back to Anaplan supports a single line item, its intersection and its value. If trying to update multiple line items at the same intersection they whole block of json needs to be repeated for each line item. My recommendation would be to have the ability to have multiple key:value pairs per intersection…

Data Import : Ignore all by default in mapping
It could be great to have a feature that allows to ignore all fields by default during data import mapping. As of today we have the options to "Match", "Ignore" (unitary), "Clear" (unitary) and "Clear All" mappings. It would be great to have an "Ignore All" button to handle only exceptions.

Docusign - Create Flexibility for Signing Order - Data Population
The Anaplan Docusign Integration currently has the following limitation: When the text fields are assigned to a non-first signer recipient, it will not work. Only the first recipient can be assigned those text fields and the data from the model will populate. For companies that follow the signing order of 1) Employee, 2)…

Excel Add-in options
When we produce monthly cost report, we need to keep apart every department because are confidential data (every department can't know the other departments expenses). With the previous tool (BPC) we could exclude empty/zero cells, select the single department and refresh data every month: was not waste of time. Now, if…

List Subset Definition based on formula
Is it possible to add functionality to make list subsets based on formula? Currently we have to either manually select list items to be included in subset or need an import action to update based on subset logic written somewhere else. Can we have option to add formula directly on list subset definition? This will help a…

Ability to use Line Number as the List Member when Importing from Excel/Google Sheets
There are times when we are importing data that Anaplan recognizes a row of data as a duplicate, but the duplicated data has meaning to our end users. Anaplan is able to tell us in the error message which line of data the duplicate was on. Is it possible to create an option to use the row number as the list member to avoid…

Ability to test the Docusign Integration without sending out an Envelope
DocuSign currently charges a rate for sending out envelopes, and clients would save money if we allowed them to test the integration without having them send out an envelope. If you are working on a large document, you may be testing a number of envelopes to test. This can cost the client quite a bit just to do testing. My…

Import in a list. Fileds mapping - need empty mapping selector in a drop down
Hello I've noticed one thing which is not native for many beginner anaplanners. While we set-up import to the numbered list and we should not have any mapping in the name field (as we choose to use a code as a default way to identify items). But quite often it is pre-populated and in a drop-down there is no option for a…

Support of cyrillics and possible other national symbols in Anaplan Connect
Not quite critical, but It would be nice if Anaplan connect scripts could support names of the tables/fields written in local languages for example using cyrillic symbols. Currently such names are being corrupted into ??? characters and cannot be found by the database. This makes us to create additional views and thus…

Adding actions in the process
Similar to adding modules/lists, there should be a way to add action into the process by selecting the action that are already present in the process and be able to add before/after the selected action. As the action will be added at the bottom on the process by default it is time taking process for moving action to the…

Refresh Function in Excel Add-in should provide option to submit changes
Description: If a user changes data in a read/write view of data in Excel via the Anaplan Excel Add-in and then subsequently clicks on the "refresh" button, the Anaplan interface does not inform the user of any changes that have been made to the data before the view is refreshed. This results in any changes being cleared…
