Regex Formula
It would be very helpful to include a regex style formula in Anaplan so we can pre-process text fields ahead of an integration, or even help to cleanse messy inbound text. Currently if we want to remove special characters, or parse strings into cleaner formats we have to specify one by one the characters we wish to remove…

Extend CloudWorks to support *External tables* in Google BigQuery
CloudWorks currently integrates with Google BigQuery and supports the following table types: Standard BigQuery tables, and Views. It would be useful if this support could be extended to include External tables (where the data is stored outside of Google BigQuery). At the moment I need to create an intermediate table in…

Schedule automated Anaplan notifications
As a Page Builder/Integration Administrator, I'd like to be able to schedule Anaplan native UX notifications. This would allow me to send native (instead of email) notifications to a set of users (hard-coded or lineitem-driven) about a predefined page. I'd like to be able to have different scheduling options, each being at…

Bulk Copy On Items Within Modules and Bulk Copy Actions On Dashboards
Hi Anaplan, Currently the ability to 'Bulk Copy' of data only exists a list items data to be copied to another list item across the entire model. My idea is to have the ability to 'Bulk Copy' but only within a module from a list item to another list item within that model. Meaning that the data being copied only happens…

DocuSign > Anaplan Integration for multiple Users
Currently, when using the DocuSign integration inside Anaplan, only the User who creates an envelope or workflow has access to that envelope or workflow. This idea is to allow for multiple Anaplan admin users to be able to view/edit/use each other's created envelopes and workflows.

Use columnar file formats with cloudworks
WIth the ability to connect cloud storage to anaplan with cloudworks, it would be great to be able to use columnar file formats (like parquet or orc). Parquet format is considered a better file format for analytical workloads as large sets of data can be read faster than with row files format (.csv, .txt, .tsv..). As these…

Ability to copy/paste values incl. hidden decimals from Excel
When copy/pasting values from an Excel table to Anaplan, it only includes the decimals shown in Excel. E.g. if the value 0.5499 is in Excel but the cell in Excel is set to only show one decimal place, the value displayed will be 0.5. When copy/pasting to Anaplan, 0.5 will be used and not the full 0.5499. This issue can of…

Optimizer: process incl. optimizer action with import on timeout should continue in case of timeout
For optimizer actions, there is the possibility in the action setup to enable "Import on timeout" to fetch back the results from Gurobi processing when the specified timeout is reached but the desired MIPGap is not achieved yet. If the optimizer action is embedded within a process, the process is shown as failed when this…

Automate actions that run the Anaplan Optimizer with Anaplan Connect, Cloudwork and the Anaplan API.
Until today, actions that run the Anaplan Optimizer are not supported by Anaplan Connect, CloudWorks and the Anaplan API. Because of that, it is not possible to put any processes that include the optimizer on schedule. This is blocking a number of use cases that could add value to our client.

CW flow's step startup settings
This would be a very convenient option: start a step and not wait for it to finish. For example, I need to wake up the model that will be needed in step 7. It takes 30 minutes to wake up, so I have to start waking up in parallel with step 4.

CloudWorks - Ability to add up to 50 steps to the Integration flow
As a tenant administrator and model builder, I scheduled 39 CW processes during the nightly integration. It's pretty hard to schedule them separately one after another, so an integration flow would be a lifesaver, but now you can only add 10 steps to one integration flow, so the new mechanism doesn't solve the problem…

Allow .tsv files in the Cloudworks UI (again)
The Situation Currently we import all our files as a tab separated file (tsv), bundle a set of import actions in a process and orchestrate these processes trough Cloudworks Integrations. Tab separated files are one of the first possibilities in the file options: To indicate such a file is tab separated all our files are…

Anaplan tab in SalesForce user mapping based on email rather than User name
We use a different user name between SalesForce (firstname.lastname@company.com.suffix) and Anaplan (firstname.lastname@company.com). Therefore it is not possible to have an Anaplan Tab in SalesForce application matching user names in both applications. Can you please add the possibility to map between email adresses…

Manual Input for Recipients of Notifications - CW
At the time of writing of this post, it's only possible to choose from a limited list of recipients who receive the Notifications of CloudWorks integrations. However, it would be very convienent to be able to manually input email adresses of the recipients. This would allow to send the notifications directly to Team…

CW settings report
It would be very convenient to export all CW processes to a table to quickly check settings between processes, without waiting to load, because now you have to click on each process and wait 2-3 seconds to load the fields in the first tab, then wait again for the second tab, then click on the next process and wait again.

Import error log enhancement in new UX
Suggest to enhance the current import error report in the new UX. The new overview only contains very limited information about any errors which occurred during import and it is not possible to get a preview of the errors as you can in the classic UX. At the same time, the ability to export errors is limited to 50,000 rows…

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…
