Is there a way to view model history on the front end?
Example: As a front end user I would like to be able to pull the model history, similar to the one available in the back end.
End users can access cell-level model history. See here for more detail: https://help.anaplan.com/afe9dd2f-a532-4aba-b7da-4971d13ca76f-Show-cell-history
Something to keep in mind is that for large models, it can take some time to generate the model history, and this is also a blocking activity for the model. I would recommend end users only pull model history for a very short date range at a time, as anything more will tend to impact concurrency.
You can create a model history export action that exports all model history for a set time period by clicking the save option (on a standard model)
You can then automate the export of model history action (using a script , see page 85), then import the model history back into an Anaplan module for reporting. The model history headers will vary though based on updates to dimensions so you'll have to account for that when loading into module line items.
There should be a way to get model history into a module so it can be summarized and queried on. There have been multiple users who have asked for a 'change report.' Managers want to see what has changed in the model sometimes by person sometimes by time period. SOX teams who evaluate commission calculation for ICM models want to see changes to the model.
@jbrown It sounds like you're suggesting a feature improvement for Anaplan. If so, I'd suggest submitting an idea to the Idea Exchange.
I found this one, but I'm not sure if it's exactly what you were looking for: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/More-Detailed-Filters-on-Anaplan-Model-History/idi-p/60299
Thank You @ryan_kohn ,
The two components of the enhancement are1. capture the structural(changes to formula in line items) changes in history2. all of history can be accessible in a module type format.
I will put on the idea exchange.
Thanks,
Joshua

Thanks @ChrisStauffer.
@shadmani you can refer this link ..
We have an Anaplan model that uses "Fake Time" - that is a time dimension specifically constructed for the application and not one found native to Anaplan. For this reason the Opening / Closing Balance summaries don't work. We would like to be able to show the opening and closing balance at the beginning end of each weekly…
Hello everyone, We are trying to use Anaplan Connect in order to push data from a dwh to Anaplan Data Hub. To do so, we need an authentication by token. We can't make it work, we receive the following error: ERROR 16020 |-- Anaplan API: Invalid key path Any suggestions? Thank you all in advance for the help! Michele
Has anyone found success using Anaplan XL with Polaris models in a shared drive with or without concurrent users? My team has experienced a variety of errors, login failures, etc. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We've been recommended to save and edit files locally, which helps but certainly with its limitations…
