Can I sync data of two different models in one grid

Ajaykumar08ns

I have a question regarding the UX page, Could some please clarify it.

I have different market models called Market A & Market B (Market A synced with Dev 1 and Market B synced with Dev 2) But the structures of these 2 Dev models are same.

I have a module in which I am using a list in Dev 1 and for the same module in dev 2 I am using the subset of the same module. Except the subset rest of the structure is same in both the dev models.

Can I use the same grid in UX to display the module data of both the markets??

Showing data from multiple models on a single page is something that we are actively looking at, but not available yet.

The subset is linked to the parent list not not exactly the same list in terms of views. I'd try creating the same subset in dev A (but populate with all items to give the same content as the full list) and using that for the view.

@Ajaykumar08ns agree with Seb's suggestion. Just note on occasion I have seen the UX page get corrupted when you perform dimensional changes to a module where it has already been published on a page. So after performing what Seb has mentioned and if you still have problem's in the UX I suggest you delete the card in the UX and recreate it.

Hi @Ajaykumar08ns ,

Enabling the "Enable multiple source models" option on the page allows you to publish modules from multiple models. However, a limitation is that you can only view the grids of one module at a time, depending on the selected model. To see the data of a different model, you will need to toggle to that specific model each time in the page header.

If the goal is to display data from two models in a single grid, I would recommend importing the data from one of the model and consolidating it into a single model for presentation purposes.

Hope it helps !

Thanks.

Hello @Arnab116,

My goal is not to display both models data at a time. Actually I am working on a development project where we are working on different phases. In phase one we used Dev A model and deployed to live and now we are working on phase 2 where we took copy of Dev A and named it as Dev B.

In these 2 Dev models I have a module called District Manager which is dimensioned by Territories and Metrics. In Dev A I am using the entire list of territories in the module but when it comes to Dev B I have created a subset in territories list and used subset instead of entire list.

Now I already have a page where this module is published using Dev A model, In the same page I enabled Dev B model. When I select the Dev A model I could see the elements of territory list and it's associated data but when I switch to Dev B from drop down, It's not showing any elements of Territory list subset. I have multiple elements checked for subset and it's giving me the following error.

I am a Workspace Admin and no selective access enabled for this list, Also when I look at the backend module in Dev B I could see the elements but when it comes to frontend I can't.

When I publish the same module as a different grid I could see the elements. So my question here, Is it happening because I used the entire list in Dev A and subset in Dev B.

Hi it sound like the two model as structurally similar but not identical. This could cause issue with UX pages pointed at both modules. Certainly having a subset in one model and the list in the other is likely to be the cause of the issue above as they will have different underlying references in anaplan.

The ability to point a page multiple models was primary to resolve the issue of needing to have dev, test, prod versions of the page. It works best with synced models, with non synced models using the same page you may find you get more issues over time as separate development increase the structural differences.

Hello @seb_mcmillan - We are not expecting any structural changes for the existing functionalities except the one which I described above. Apart from that everything we are developing are new functionalities in Dev B. For these new functionalities we use different pages to display them in UX.

Even in our case we have not changed it to different dimension, we just used the subset of the same dimension.

Do we have any way to get data of both the models in the same grid of UX page?? Because users asking to have both the models data in the same grid and page. They don't want to create even a different grid within the same page as well.
