As an integration admin, it woulf be very useful to be able to get (through api or the ui) a log detail of the last cloufworks run for a given integration. This is necessary as the current error messages are a bit cryptic to understand like "process failed"

Use Gregorian calendar week numbers instead of fiscal week numbers
Hello community, Currently Anaplan uses its own week numbering to determine the week number. When fiscal period is different from jan-dec, then week numbers do not match at all with calendar week numbers as defined in ISO 8601. This makes it very confusing for users to adapt to these new week numbers, especially when users…

Ability to import line item format into blue print view
The ability to import line items format while importing blueprints would be really helpful. Currently, I've set up an automated process to import newly created line items from one module into another module on a daily basis.

Ability to Import via .CSV non-US formatted dates
Looking for an enhancement to allow non-US users that don't use US formatted systems to be able to upload .CSV files that contain dates. Currently any non-US formatted files will cause an incorrect date to be populated without any errors or notifications.

Personal Export Settings
We've always used the standard Excel format as that was top of the list, now you've changed it to csv with the release 14/05/22; however, csv doesn't keep the formatting so we had formulas that failed in other Excel workbooks when we pasted the Anaplan export in. It's resolved by the user changing the export format to…

Use Page Selectors to Select Data for Export via Export Actions
As an End User I need to be able to select data for exporting using Page Selectors in the UX, providing a common navigation experience for interacting with data in Anaplan. Currently to select data for exporting I need to use selection criteria (Booleans or List Formatted Line Items) to select what I want to export. It is…

Excel Add-In: Possibility to display name or code for list members
I would like to have the possibility to extract different attributes for a list member in the worksheet via Excel Add-In (rather than just the name), in the same way the direct export from Anaplan allows: display name, code, parent, etc. Few examples where I find this functionality useful: reconciliation process after a…

NEW UX - Export Boards as PDFs process
Hi Anaplan, It would be great if the NEW UX had the capability to export boards as PDFs for reporting. Many customer are asking for this as they have previously created many reports using this in the OLD UX so would like to see the functionality in the NEW UX. Thanks, Usman

Importing data directly from another Anaplan module
When a user is attempting to import data directly from another Anaplan module, they need to be able to use an identifier (code or link vs. the display name of the field) to ‘connect’ the records. For example: When a user exports from a ‘source’ Anaplan module, the user has the ability to export the ‘code’ or ‘list link…

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…

Snapshot Current System time function
Currently there is no current date/time function in Anaplan. After talking with developer from engineering group, we understand that one of the challenges to implement this is that Anaplan is "moment of time" system, if you have a formula reference Current time, then it would be only true for that moment, what happen if…

API call to determine if a model is currently busy
As a data integration owner, I want to be able to check if a model is locked/busy running a process before I initiate a new process, so that I can avoid running excessive processes and have smoother orchestration between my calls. I'll know this is successful when there is an API call when I can submit a model guid and get…

Ability to change Pivot in Google Sheets Add-on
The Google Sheets add-on doesn't let us change the dimensions in the Pivot when setting up the connection, unlike the Excel add-in. We need to create custom views in the model to be able to pull the data in the format we want. This is a big deterrent towards adoption of the Google Sheets add-in and restricts the…

Allow user to choose time format on exports
When exporting, different scenarios will give you a different format for time. This would be an option within the Export dialog, similar to how you select the date format when importing a file. Specifically, exporting with two dimensions on columns will give you the date format MMM YY. This can cause issues in other…

Warning when attempting to change a saved view used by an action
No small amount of problems have been caused in our model by someone unknowingly altering a saved view that is used by an import action. It seems reasonable to me to tell the builder who is about to delete, or overwrite a saved view that is used by an action so they can make a decision to proceed or not. Ideally, it would…

Ability to export values as formatted for .CSV
As a user, I need to be able to export data in the format I have set instead of a standardised format when exporting as .CSV. For example, I want to be able to export * Large numbers - The option to export "1,000,000,000,000" rather than "1.0E12" * Small numbers - The option to export "0.00001" rather than "1.0E-5" My data…

Condition-Based Trigger for Email Reporting
The current MAILTO function requires clicking the cell in order for an email to be generated. It would be very helpful if this click action occurs automatically only if a certain logical condition is met. For example, if the sum of all sales from last week reaches a certain threshold or is below a certain threshold, the…

Block any other transactions being processed between actions in a Process
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…

Ability to include Line Items within DocuSign Workflow Names (& therefore DocuSign email Subject)
We would like to have a small number of DocuSign Workflows which can be reused to complete standardized processes which are initiated in Anaplan and completed in DocuSign. Currently Anaplan uses the DocuSign Workflow name as the Subject of the email which is sent from DocuSign. This means that each email recipient receives…

Fix ability to use zip files in Cloudworks and UX
While using import actions in UX and Cloudworks I discovered with the help of Anaplan support that zip files cannot be used except through the backend and old UX. We would like to have the possibility for Anaplan to use zip files in UX and Cloudworks as it is indicated in the Planuals best practices. This is required to…

Excel Add-in 3.2: increase cell extract count
In the current version of the Excel Add-in, it is not possible to create a connection to a saved view or module with a total cell count of the dimensions (rows x columns) greater than 1 million. Any saved views with hidden line items or filters applied will not have an effect on the view size and will therefore not…

Trigger API from Anaplan (native solution)
I would like to be able to trigger the API from Anaplan (e.g. button on a dashboard). This will enable sending data to another Anaplan model or to a different system event based by an end-user, rather then scheduling it outside Anaplan. Eventually it will enable much better integrations with 3th party solutions (advanced…

Clear an entire module
Scenario: If I am importing data into a module and a line item no longer exists in the source file, the Clear Before Import will not clear that line item as it will only clear line items that are coming in from the file. This can lead to numbers being off. Current workaround: Create a duplicate module that is filled with…
-
Uploads in .pdf/.jpg format (instead of URL)
It would be better if Anaplan facilitated uploading of documents in .pdf/ .jpg format , instead of using URL because not all documents are readily available on the web. Some of them might be scanned copies of confidential papers and cannot be posted on the web (to create a URL) without using a third party software/ app.

Duplicate Process feature
Need a way to duplicate the Process instead of manually creating new process and adding actions again
