Automate model copy

Is there a way to schedule or automate the process of copying a model?

Accepted answers

To schedule or automate a process in Anaplan, it must either be listed in the actions tab or there should be an API available to perform the task.

Note that creating a copy model action is a manual task, and currently, there is no API available that can copy a model.

Overview of Anaplan APIs and Their Functions Related to Models:

Integration API:
- Transactional API: Gets model information, checks model status, and can delete models.
- Bulk API: Uploads files and runs actions.
ALM API:
- Manages a model’s online status, synchronizes models, retrieves revision tags, and generates comparison reports. However, it cannot create a model from a revision.
SCIM API:
- Provides details on users and workspaces, adds new users, and updates user information.
Audit API:
- Monitors user activities including login events, new user registrations, and data integrations.
Cloudworks API:
- Offers more complex functionalities than the Cloudworks user interface. For example, you can set up logic to cancel a next action if the previous one fails.
Authentication Service API and OAuth2 API:
- Create auth tokens.

Copy the module data within a model ? Can you provide more details on the same ? Model copy needs to be done manually, is what i believe. Inside that if it's like you're creating a model for planning purpose and fiscal year and a lot of this will change for that you need to create multiple actions to automate those tasks. Like Copyover FY24 data to FY25.

Quick sum bar not supported in Saved View
I wanted to check if others are facing this specification difference between Grid Card in Additional Insight. When created using a Saved View, the Quick Sum bar feature does not work, but when created using the module directly, the Quick Sum bar works.
one or multiple models
Does anyone have any documentation on the trade-offs of having 1 model for all components of planning (service revenue, product revenue, labour planning), vs multiple models 1 for each and a consolidation model to tie it all together?
A reminder of Bulk Copy - Current year to Prior year version for YoY analysis
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
