November 2024 platform releases
Check out the latest Anaplan feature updates and enhancements in our November 2024 release notes. The information below offers supplemental information to that post.
UX
- Axis label formatting
Users can now format the label of numeric axes in charts. By selecting Manual as the label format, the following can be specified: A prefix of up to 3 characters, a suffix of up to 3 characters, and decimal places of up to 4 places.
- Role-based page access
Users can now specify by role who can and cannot modify a page, allowing users to restrict critical planning pages while still giving users the flexibility to create their own pages and reports. All existing permissions will remain the same, with the addition of the enhanced capability to restrict modify access so users can no longer go into page designer. For more information, please see Anapedia.
Planning and modeling
- Engine-specific content in the Anapedia integration
Builders will now see a tailored list of functions based on their model engine - Classic or Polaris. This enhancement streamlines the builder experience by only displaying function help relevant to the selected engine, enabling builders to create formulas with greater efficiency and precision. For Polaris-specific functions, detailed calculation differences are provided. - Improvements to the performance of On-Demand Calculation in Polaris
Modelers will see improvements in re-calculation speed with On-Demand Calculation combined with small up-stream data changes. - Context-shifting functions over non-Time dimensions in Polaris
PROFILE, SPREAD, POST, and DECUMULATE (as well as the previously released NEXT, PREVIOUS, LEAD, LAG, OFFSET and so on) functions can now be used over dimensions other than Time in Polaris. An extra parameter can be added to instruct the engine to shift over a non-Time dimension.
Recording available from our recent event on model design best practices
Last month, we invited the Anaplan Community to share their best advice for model design. In this recap event, speakers Rob Marshall and Adam Trainer, both from Anaplan’s Operational Excellence Group, share the answers received along with their experience. This includes how to plan successful model layouts, steps to take, do’s and don’ts, and what to consider to ensure minimal redesign throughout the project to allow for flexibility and scalability to expand in the future. Watch the recording here.

When did this go live? Specifically the item formatting where you can do custom formatting on your dimensions now (the format section at the bottom of the page). This is huge functionality (although a bit limited right now) that I just randomly saw and it's not mentioned at all in the last few months release notes.
