use list property as module row item

blueuingreen79

hi I'm a noob o Anaplan so this my question may well be relatively simplistic to old hands is it possible to use a property pf a list as a row item in a module? also, is there a difference between a system module and a module a created under modules?

HI

There is only one type of module in anaplan, system just refers to how it is used (data, input, system, calculation, output)

You can't surface a list property directly in a module but you can reference it in a formula. I would recommend using a system module dimensioned by the list to hold 'properties' and attributes of the list rather than in the list itself as these a more transparent and can be surfaced in the UX.

See the entry on list properties in the Anaplan Planual

I think a numbered list and setting the display name has given me exactly what I want
