Multi Selection
I would like to ask for a new functionality within Anaplan that could really ease our work with Anaplan. And that is multi selection. I see two ways how to apply multi selection, both very helpful:
1. Multi selection for context selector. Once the dimension is displayed as "Context/Page Selector", it would be great to have a possibility for multi selection which would automatically summed up the selected items from the hierarchy - thus, we would have a possibility to see the sum of the values in the object per e.g. two countries that do not need to have the same parent.
2. Multi selection for drop down lists. When we display the dimension as row or column and we are using custom filters (using another line item with a format "list" to filter the content in the object), it would be great to have a possibility for the filter to have a multi selection - we could choose more than only one item from the list which would result in showing rows/columns that match more than only one item from the list, e.g. rows matching country A and below them rows matching country B.
3. Improvement of Filter in New UX. Alternative to the point 2 (however much less flexible) is to improve the existing filters in New UX in the following way:
a) we should have a possibility to apply them on more than one table. We often need to add two tables next the each other - one with no time, one with time dimensionality, but both creating one input table. In such case it is not possible to apply one filter to both tables which greatly limits the option to use this built-in filter.
b) it should be possible to edit them directly in the table (as e.g. "Search" works) and not in the right panel
c) often, the whole name of the items in the field "Choose" is not visible - once it is longer and has more parents, we are unable to see the whole name of the items in the drop down. This should be changed.

Ability top adjust indentation for Lists, Line Items, and Line Item Subsets
It would be great to have the ability to adjust the indentation for lists, line items, and line item subsets when they are pivoted into rows. This would make it easier for us to call attention to certain lines.
Right now, we have the ability to adjust this for line items in the back end by setting the style "Summary 1" or "Heading 3", but this only works for line items.

Ability to adjust the spacing and formatting on field cards
Hi,
It would be great to have the ability to adjust the spacing between line items on field cards:
Right now the default has them very far apart which makes it impossible for them to all fit on one line unless I extend the card really wide.
Also- it would be great to be able to adjust the text color on field cards to match the rest of the app's theme.
These kinds of minor UX issues accumulate and make it difficult to design aesthetic and intuitive pages for our users.

Ability to set card widths with more precision than just the 12 pre-set columns
Hi,
It would be great to have the ability to adjust card width/height with more precision instead of limiting the widths to the 12 pre-set bars:
Without this feature it can be difficult to have pages look neat and organized while also displaying all the information that our users require.

Hierarchy Filter not working on a worksheet
When we use hierarchy filter as a page selector in a worksheet we can show/hide levels of the hierarchy.
But when we use the same hierarchy filter on any card in Additional Insights, we do not get the option to show/hide levels of the hierarchy.
In my case I want hide the sizes (M7 level) from the context selector and only show the parents. The page selector is at M4 level and the dimension of the card in additional insights is at M7 level so I cannot sync with the page selector since I will be missing two levels (M5 & M6).
Is there a workaround to show only the levels required for the cards published in Additional insights?

Hide/Unhide an APP instead of Pages
Currently do not have a feature to hide an unwanted/In progress APP to not show it when end users login. Currently we can only Delete or manage the access to page level. Which is a daunting task if we have more than 10 pages.

Pasting Multiple Items to Filter at Once
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds:
Currently when we got to filter on a subset of items, we have to go through and select each item we want to review. Sometimes we need to filter on hundreds of items and that can take way too much time.
How often is this impacting your users?
This occurs weekly for my team.
Who is this impacting? (ex. model builders, solution architects, partners, admins, integration experts, business/end users, executive-level business users)
business/end users
What would your ideal solution be? How would it add value to your current experience?
Be able to paste a items and have the filter include all of those items without having to check each item.
It would add value for the teams to be able to change their UI to only show the information they need in a timely manner
Please include any images to help illustrate your experience.
Being able to paste this information and have it filter to that would be ideal state.

Wrap cells & adjust individual row height dependent on cell content
Adding on to the requirement from this threat.
It would be great to have an additional option for tables (in dashboards, worksheets and management reporting) that individually adjusts each row's height dependent on the cells' content. Similar to wrap cells in Excel.
Like Steven wrote in the threat above:
Imagine you have a "Notes" column written by someone in a table, across a multitude of dates. Note 1 might be one row, Note 2 might be 5 etc. The current option - setting a standard row height in the table settings - has the potential to create excessive scrolling, for tables that have many rows.

Save UX Export Definition as An Action
It would be great if we could save/automate dashboard exports from the UX in the same way that we can in the old dashboard experience. Right now, if we want to automate the sending of a dashboard export (a PDF), we need to do it as a saved view of a grid or build an old UX dashboard to export from.
Right now, if I export a dashboard as a PDF, I can't save it as an export action in the model to be automated. Even if I just wanted to export one card, I can't save the export definition to be used later. This would be a very helpful feature, especially for management reporting.
