September 2022 releases and October sneak peek - View Modules Used In Pages

The release this month is helpful but I think it missed expectations. What would be more helpful is to be able to see what UX pages a module is published on in the exact same way the "Used in Dashboards" column is in the Modules. The update would more or less be "View Pages Used in Modules". I used the column in the Classic days and was eagerly awaiting the new update. It's a way to quickly audit the modules and see if any old modules are being used on Pages, what modules are or are not being used, etc.

Since this does not exist in the Pages screen, being able to export the report to Excel (every page, every module) would be at least a good workaround versus a whole bunch of copy and pasting.

Agree - certainly a step in the right direction with the new release but could be more impactful with some redesign.

This is one area where classic has the advantage on new UX. It was so incredibly handy to be able to export a view of the modules that show every dashboard where they were used - particularly when thinking about model role setup and maintenance.

This is CRITICAL for knowing what limitations you may have to consider while editing modules, and knowing how to fully replace a module. That's still not possible with the current state (esp since you can't even export). You have to start at the PAGE and see the MODULES…then…screenshot or manually list them elsewhere, or hope that a manual copy-past comes out accurately. And even then, you need to manipulate in excel to see all upstream dependencies for a module. Please let us know where "Used in Pages" is on the roadmap!

Whoohoo! Looks like this is now available! It still would be nice to be able to export them all but hey, something is better than nothing

Hi all,

keen to understand the expected behaviour of this functionality a bit more as we've begun looking into this area.

Unlike Dashboards, UX pages have a publish and draft status. Would you expect to see the UX page name listed for a module if that module was only connected to the page in draft status?

Eg. Imagine we have a published UX page that currently uses modules 1, 2 & 3. Then we go and edit the page, remove the cards that reference modules 2 & 3, and add cards that reference modules 4 & 5. We don't republish the page at this stage.

What would you expect to see when viewing this data?

Modules 1,2,3 are linked to this UX page - these are modules that exist on published cards on the UX page
Module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are linked to this UX page - these are modules that exist on published and draft cards on the UX page

Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated here,

Thanks

Calendar Weeks in UX date fields
If you select a date in the UX it would be helpful to display the calendar week to the left of it, like in Microsoft Outlook.
Assistance Required for Understanding User License Roles at Tenant Level - Anaplan
Team - As per my understanding, user roles should work as described in the table below, but it is not working as expected. Our expectation is to assign users to a read-only role to restrict their access to a specific model, instead of creating user roles within the model. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank…
Text input on total level
Dears, We would like you to enable text input on text summaries. Could you please consider adding “text input” button for text type summary method? This will help a lot for better navigation, for example when commenting data on total level like P&L total figures.
