Make Bulk Copy between Versions an Action
Currently our team EVERY WEEK, has to bulk copy the current version to the previous version because there is no way to automate this. That is 52 manual interventions every year. If you could create an ACTION that would allow you to bulk copy and have user select source version to target version, than we can schedule an…

Work with Microsoft to make an Anaplan - PowerBI connector
It would be great to have a Anaplan connector in PowerBI (same idea as Excel and PowerPoint connectors), to have a live interfacing of data.

Automatically generate Keys for Importing fact data into Data Hub module
Importing fact data into "flat modules" in a Data Hub is challenging when your data source is unable to provide a single unique Key to act as a List Item. That work ends up taking place between the extracted data and the import into Anaplan and oftentimes involves concatenating Key columns into a single column, sometimes…

Allowing imports into more than 1 fixed month
It would be nice if we could select “Fixed Months” when doing an import and have the option of importing one file into multiple months rather than just one month at a time.

Ability to mask or sanitize all of the Production Data within a model
I would like to be able to easily mask all Production Data within a model. Currently, this involves a lot of manual effort. For example, replacing all names with fake names, and all numbers with fake numbers. Being able to do this is useful for a couple of different purposes: * If I need to have Anaplan Support take a copy…

Date Stamp List Property for Imported Data
A similar concept around date stamps was suggested here: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Date-Stamp-for-manually-entered-reference-data/idi-p/38423 but I would love to see this for imports too. A problem I've come across is importing data from a CSV without a date column into an import list. There are…

Make upload templates as a flat file so we can have 1 upload template per model
It would be interesting to have the possibility to have upload templates as flat file in order to ease the management of upload templates. This would allow us to have to manage only 1 template, and a list of columns that are "uploadable" We would need to have as many columns as dimensions, 1 column for the line item and 1…

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…

Option to Omit Empty rows for imports
Description of Enhancement: I would like the ability to Omit Empty Rows when importing How this would help their business process: We have saved views used as IDS for imports between models. There are two fundamentally different approaches to set up them: 1. If we put all necessary dimension in rows and apply imports, it…

Import Action Editor Visibility
It would be great if all features of an import action, including field mapping, were visible and could be edited in one place. Particularly challenging today if an import file is set to private, once it expires after 48 hours, it is impossible to view or edit the import mapping.

See error dumps for previously run imports
As a model builder or data integration user, I want to be able to see a history of all the recent imports into Anaplan as well as access the associated error dumps for each of those actions. Currently, when I run an import or import process via the UI and there are errors, the error dump shows on my screen and I can…

Creating Imports: Search for Saved View, Module, or List
When creating import actions that connect to lists, modules, or saved views within Anaplan models, it would be useful to have a “Search” button to assist in locating the list/module/saved view the model builder needs to select. This search feature is incorporated into other parts of Anaplan and, should it be added to the…

Certificate authentication for all integration accounts
Hi All, It would be great if all the Anaplan Platform, Anaplan Learning, Anaplan community and Anafans account all synced into one user account and sign on. There are currently alot of different account types and it would be great to just have one sign on access account. Thanks, Usman

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…

Set the fields in a certain order that will not change for exports and have alias headers
For downstream systems, the headers must have specific names that are not related to how the Planners use Anaplan. Also, some of the downstream systems are very specific about the order of the fields in the export. When Anaplan has to adapt to business changes, the export to the downstream systems has to remain constant or…

On an import have the ability to Ignore All
Currently when manually mapping fields in an import there is the option to Match, Ignore and Clear All. It is often the case that it would be easier to set the import to Ignore All and then to match only specific fields on an exception basis. The current requirement of clicking each field in the import you wish to Ignore…

Multiple JDBC queries in one configuration file
For a customer I use directly SQL scripts that are used in Anaplan connect (1.3.3.3). These SQL scripts connect directly to the ERP system. Now with the change of Anaplan connect 1.4, you must use a JDBC propertie file which can only holds one query. At this point of time I have 170 SQL scripts that looks to 6 different…

Able to use the row id number as unique identifier when import a file
It would be really useful if the row id number ("Line #") would be available as additional column when import a csv file or from any other external source. When import files in Anaplan, usually the first step is to import the file into a numbered list where the file columns are transformed in numbered list properties. To…

Allow SSO Users to run cross Workspaces Imports with Anaplan Connect
Hello, It would be useful to allow accounts with Single Sign On activated to run Cross Workspaces Imports via Anaplan Connect. At the moment, only Exception Users (no SSO) can run these Imports, which is not in line with recommendations from our Internal Audit team. Thank you

Export only current page selection
Description: As a model builder, I want to give users the ability to efficiently export their dashboard grids. Currently, when you save an export definition on the "Current Page", this current page does not change when the export action is published to a dashboard based on that dashboard's page selectors. Example of the…

Recognise zeroes and blanks as different data inputs when using number formatting
Can we add a number formatting option (text fomatting causes issues for our users) with a default for the cell of blank (if blank then the cell is ignored) and then if a zero is input it is treated as a number. For example - the default calculation for sales volume generates 50 for January 2018, there is an "override" line…

Enhancements to API
Would like to see additional enhancements to the API, things like retrieving line item blueprints, list/module editing, list properties, etc. This would enable customers to control their Anaplan environments with various automations.

Ability to copy export label settings from one export to another
The ability to copy label settings from one export action to another would be very helpful. If there are several similar export actions with different filters that need the same list properties, this would be useful, as the person creating the action would no longer have to select each property one by one.
-
Access to source views on saved exports
When an export is created and saved, from a saved view, it does not indicate the source of that export (only the source module). It will be very useful, when an export is created from a saved view, to have it recorded in Anaplan, in the same way as the Imports are recorded their source view.

Dynamic Subtotal in the Excel Addin
Hi gang, Very interested to have a dynamic subtotal in the Excel Addin please. So lets say I select several items in a product hierarchy or just two out of my 3 channels. Here I would like the API to refresh the subtotal of these items instead of pulling in the explicit rows/columns selected. There would need to be a…

Option to select a file when importing into users
As per email from Anaplan Support: Currently, for an action uploading data into a Users list, the file is not able to be selected at the start of the action. This file would need to be changed manually in the actions menu by going to Import Data Sources and choose new source. Then pick the file with the same exact name as…

Default Import Setting
It would be great if the 'Default File' setting when you import a csv into a module could be automatically set to 'Admins Only' or 'Everyone' instead of 'No (keep private)'. Our company uses an ETL tool to load data into models and if that setting is not changed then it causes errors and we end up with data that is not…

Excel Add-in: Allow for the ability to connect spreadsheet interface to more than one connection
If a model is archived, then retrieved , its model ID changes. The model ID change disables the spreadsheet's data connection. Suggestion: Allow a spreadsheet connection which was created under Model ID "Example_1" to be redirected to Model ID "Example_2". Otherwise users are at risk to lose work created under Model ID…

Bulk Copy functionality available from Dashboards for non-model builders
As a Model Builder, I want to be able to create specific/dynamic Bulk copy processes so that end users can run them via dashboards. I'll know this is successful when I'm able to publish on dashboards specific bulk copy processes using the standards Anaplan out of the box functionality and without the need of creating…
