Ability to Apply Filters before downloading Model History

Currently, If I want to check history to view some activity on a specific module or list, but I am not aware of the dates when that change took place, It takes forever for me to extract the history for downloading 'ALL' change history and locate that change. I face issues especially when the changes are too many and file is too huge. It would be best for me if I can filter by module, list and user before downloading.

You can Export 'All' period history, most probably that would come in a .txt file. Open and copy all the data, paste it in Excel and use 'Text to Columns' under 'data' option in excel and segregate the data using Delimited (; or ,). Then apply filter on the columns accordingly.

Thanks.

@vishal3120 Yes Vishal, I agree that's one way to do it, yet it takes a really long time to download. Plus sometimes the size of the downloaded file is in GBs, which does not open at all for .txt file.

There are a number of similar ideas that have been suggested. I think this speaks to the demand for such a capability.

Data Validation Enhancement
Currently, Anaplan does not natively restrict number inputs to specific ranges. Users can input any numeric value, which may result in data integrity problems, especially in collaborative or decentralised planning environments. Introducing a validation capability—where model builders set upper and lower bounds for number…
Multiple approvers in workflow when using, "select user from a line item in a module”
Currently we can assign only 1 approver when assigning using "select user from a line item in a module”. There is no option assign the task to multiple approvers and have one of them approve the task. Even if we create 2 line items each for an approver, since it is a drop down, it is currently giving an option to select…
UX Enhancement: Red Font Toggle for Negative Numbers
In most cases, especially when adhering to accounting principles, it's preferred to display negative numbers in red font, similar to how Excel handles them. Currently, achieving this in Anaplan requires setting up conditional formatting for each line item, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. To streamline this…
