December 2024 platform releases

Check out the latest Anaplan feature updates and enhancements in our December 2024 release notes. The information below offers supplemental information to that post.

UX

  • Filter across line items (end users)
    End users can now apply filters across line items to a grid in boards and worksheets. Regardless of the datatype of the line item, filtering will treat them as numeric, just like in the classic experience. Filter notations have also been improved for cases where line items are context selectors, making it easier to identify and apply filters efficiently.
  • Expand and collapse in cells with list pickers
    List hierarchies in grid cells with list pickers can now be expanded and collapsed, streamlining navigation for users.
  • Row and column formatting
    Page builders can now apply row and column formatting, including number formatting, to a grid in boards and worksheets. This enables page builders to make individual rows or columns stand out in UX pages and add the appropriate suffix, such as %.
  • Role-based page access
    (We mentioned this in November's update, but added a video later in the month that many may have missed, so we're mentioning it again!) 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.
