Pause calculations while insert Values

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:

Our Models went quite big for now and some input Dashs take alot of time to change Input values, Anaplan recalc after every value. Problem here is, Users have to enter like 20 values and everytime Anaplan is recalcing.

A workaroud is we broke up the calc to the input and insert the all changes via action click. But even this isnt very smart.

How often is this impacting your users?

Daily basis

Who is this impacting?

End Users

What would your ideal solution be? How would it add value to your current experience?

Add a (enable per MB) Slider that the End User can take his inputs and then recalc all at once when he's done. This would prevent multiple recalcing which isnt necressary in this cases and boost the Perfomance for all.

    The issue arises from Anaplan's frequent recalculations every time an input value is changed, which becomes particularly problematic when users need to enter multiple values—up to 20 in your case. This repetitive recalculation significantly slows down the process, affecting performance and user experience. Your workaround of breaking up the calculations and using action clicks is not ideal. An ideal solution would be to introduce a feature such as an "Enable per MB" slider that allows users to input all their values first and then trigger a single recalculation. This would minimize unnecessary recalculations and improve performance, making the process more efficient and user-friendly. This adjustment would have a significant positive impact, especially since the issue affects end users on a daily basis.
