With number of periods being part of ALM it cannot be achieved . It will be great if we can take it out of ALM structural change…

Ability to hide process details (eg list of actions, details and outcome, if needed)
As a model builder I want to have the option of hiding the entire process details when running a process so that the user experience is simplified, where possible. For example : we might have a number of import actions clubbed in a single process to manage and update filters displayed on a dashboard. This process would…

Running History by User
Hi - it would be useful to be able to run a history log by user as well as time/date range. The history tab isn't the most user-friendly as it only shows a certain amount of changes and the text file export is even less user-friendly! Sometimes I just want to know what one specific user has done in the model. Thanks!

Ability to Reorder, Sort, Filter, Group and generally Organize the users list
Our model has 700+ users so the list is quite overwhelming to deal with. They're also in some who-knows why randomized order. I see no easy way of changing this order short of removing them all and re-importing them in a different order. It would be really helpful to deal with this size of a list by allow admin to: *…

Toaster Time / Blue Box Culprit Anonymity
One of our best Anaplanners at Tableau recently left the Sales Operations organization. She unfortunately will not be an Anaplan user in her new role. Before she left, I made this "best practice" image for her, referencing an incident 2 years ago, when I was only 2 months on the job here. Joking aside, I've recently been…

Add preview view and customisation options for exporting dashboards to PDF
The ideal scenario would be to have an interactive "export dashboard" dialogue box, allowing users to make basic layout changes to PDF exports of dashboards. With this, a user could preview the PDF before export, and make basic layout changes such as changing column widths (or just bringing the column widths already set in…

Allow history export to be limited on hours
As a model builder and auditor I would like to limit the history export on 'hours' to enable a more precise search in the history log. This is particularly important for our Data Hub where a 'Last 24 hours' selection creates a 4 GB log file. Excel can't handle that, so it requires analytical tools like Tableau or Spotfire…

Allow ALM synchronisation to be scheduled
This enhancement idea originated from a customer conversation around the process of synchronising a development model to a production model using ALM. There is sometimes a need to perform the syncronisation process outside of office hours to minimise/avoid any impact on end users. Currently, the synchronisation process can…

Excel Add in inheriting flow from the web UX
Does anyone know if there are plans for the Excel add in to more closely align with the web UX? For example, a few things that would be a big help in my opinion: -Allowing user to select a dashboard by name, which would then then filter down to show only the modules on that dashboard (obviously this wouldn't pull KPIs or…

'Referenced By' Column in Blue Print View should expand or drop down to show full detail
Hi Anaplan, The 'Referenced By' column in the blue print view should expand or drop down to show full details. This would be really usefull as you can instanty see where a line item is being referenced if it has multiple references. Thanks, Usman

Selective Access in Child List formatted item
I am able to filter a list formatted item when selective access is enabled. However, it is not possible to do so when the line item is formatted as a list that does not has selective access enabled, even if it is a "child" of a selective access list. I need to be able to filter lower hierarchy levels based on inherited…

Add a Referenced By Column in Time Ranges
Hi, It would be nice if we had a referenced by column in time ranges to check what modules are using the time range. Sometimes we would like to delete any time range because we are not using it anymore, and we have to check each module to find the references. Regards, Fayelle

New formula for checking User's access
As a Model Builder, I would find new function really useful: Syntax HASACCESS(x,y,[f]) Returns Boolean, "TRUE" if User has specified access, where: * x: Users list-formatted line item containing . * y: Item of the list with Selective Access enabled. * f: Flag which tells which access formula should test, keywords: "ANY"…

Bulk Data Change Details in History Log
As a model builder and administrator, it would be a huge improvement if the history log could provide details into Bulk Data Changes. Our company utilizes user imports, and it is very difficult to track down changes when everything is grouped into one line of history. One option is to run history on individual cells of…

Change NAME() and add CODE() to Users list
As a Model Builder, I need a function to return User's First & Last Name, so I think the best solution would be adding CODE() function for Users list (which would have current functionality of NAME()), and change behavior of NAME() function applied to Users list. For backward compatibility, if NAME() cannot be changed,…

Ability to Reorder Users
It will be very helpful if there is an option to reorder the names in the Users list. Since we can use users as a dimension now, some of our use cases need users in alphabetic orders or to have all users in one role together. This will help in user administration as well.

Single Sign on security enhancement
We got a requirement recently to limit access to single sign-on setting. At the moment all administrators are able to deactivate this for themselves at any given moment and effectively skip all security controls. We believe that not all admins should be able to do this. In companies which have more builders (for example…

Monitor model sizes
Periodically we are making an overview of all our models and their size. This is a manual exercise and only possible to collect via 'manage models' in each separate workspace. We then copy the model sizes every month in one of our models to monitor growth. It would be nice to be able to see the model size via the Anaplan…

Hiding Saved Views in Classic UX
At the moment within our many models there modules with several saved views. Would be good to be able to "hide" the saved views so that as a modeller I can see the list of modules and then I can see the views either by clicking to expand or via the normal open command in module view. Would make model development a lot…

Add default 'Security Admin' and 'Data Admin' roles to support formal segregation of duties
Many enterprise customers have security policies require different administrative roles to support segregation of duties. Today, when we encounter these, we need to build them from scratch and manage them at the model level. I propose that in addition to 'Workspace Administrator'', we also have 'Security Admin' and 'Data…

DCA, Filtering and Export Referencing
Few things make me happier than tidying up a model. It's good to delete out redundant content to remove clutter and reduce model size. The first place to look when doing this is list, module and line item 'references'. If it's used by another module or on a dashboard then you know it's in use. However, there are scenarios…

Search Functionality in 'Manage Models' Window
With mature Anaplan workspaces, there are typically dozens of models that would have been created during Foundations, development or for sandbox uses. As the list of models grows, it becomes hard to scroll through the list to find a specific model. This difficulty is especially evident in partners' workspaces, where there…
