Anaplan New Brand Launch:
On 19th February, Anaplan introduced our new brand. This refresh updates our website, Community and Anaplan in-product. Read more here.
Feedback I’ve heard so far is that with the cleaner look in UX, end users are more likely to focus on the on-page content.
Share your thoughts below!
==========================
Anaplan Product and Feature Updates:
Subscribe to Anaplan’s Release Notes to stay informed about upcoming releases.
Here are some recent highlights:
- User Experience (UX) Page Builders now have the flexibility to customize column widths within grids on UX page. This enhancement ensures that data is presented more clearly, improving readability and usability for end users. Overrides can be applied to Time, List, and Line Item columns.
- Introducing Absolute Sizing in Scatter and Bubble Chart. In a bubble chart, "absolute sizing" refers to the practice of directly representing the size of each bubble based on the absolute value of the data point it represents, meaning the bubble size is directly proportional to the raw numerical value without any scaling or normalisation, regardless of whether the value is positive or negative (in which case, the negative value is treated as its absolute value)
- Anaplan Data Orchestrator (ADO). New Connectors for MySQL, PostreSQL, OracleDB and more to come!
- Workflow. Minor changes to rendering of flow charts, mentioning it here because this paves the way for Branching Process flows, Reconnecting branches following remediation steps or individual branched paths and several other enhancements coming soon
