March 2025 platform releases and what’s next
Check out the latest Anaplan feature updates and enhancements in our March 2025 official release notes. The information below offers supplemental information to that post.
Planning and modeling
- Calc Effort % in Classic
Calculation Effort is now available in Classic, either in Blueprint view or the Line Items section of the Module Panel. The column displays the percentage of computational effort required for each line item. Opening a model initiates the calculation of all its line items, which means opening time varies based on model complexity and data volume. Once the model is opened, the Calculation Effort column will show which line items in the model require the most computation and may require optimization. For more, check out our community article here.
- Dynamic column width adjustments in the New Modules Inventory
In the New Modules Inventory, model builders can now adjust column widths for better visibility, making data easier to view and analyze. Model builders can access the New Modules Inventory via a toggle on the current modules inventory page. - Clickable dependency links in the New Modules Inventory
In the New Modules Inventory, columns containing dependency data are now clickable, offering model builders quick, seamless access to linked objects for a more efficient modeling experience. Model builders can access the New Modules Inventory via a toggle on the current modules inventory page.
UX
- Workflow: Improved task completion checking
Workflow Owners can now configure a completion rule to specify whether it should apply to Workflow Owners as well as other users. Switching this setting on will mean everyone who completes the task will be forced to abide by the completion rule, reducing the risk of Workflow Owners leaving tasks incomplete or inaccurately completed when part of someone else's workflow.
Intelligence
- Anaplan Optimizer log API
Workspace Administrators can download Anaplan Optimizer logs via API for root cause analysis of optimization errors.
Security
- UX-based audit events
Events tracked in Anaplan's central Audit Service now include a variety of activities logged from the UX. This includes when apps and pages are opened, and details of which page type they were.
What's next?
Please note: The information here is subject to change right up to release go-live time. This post is not a commitment to provide any features by a certain time frame and enhancements to the product may change before release.
Administration
- New UX for Model page
A new model details page will soon welcome you — we have redesigned the page to improve navigation, decrease loading times and have a more intuitive user interface. This will help boost your productivity and lead to a more seamless model experience. The core functionality and usage of the page will remain intact.
Integrations and Extensibility
- Self-manage long running process on Cloudworks
Cloudworks users will soon see a button to cancel long running processes on the Cloudworks UI. By being able to cancel jobs independently, users won't have to rely on Anaplan support, which minimizes delays and allows for quicker decision-making. This leads to a more streamlined and autonomous experience for users, enhancing overall productivity. It empowers users to have more control over their processes, improving their efficiency and saving time.
User experience (UX)
- Hide 'maximize' and 'comments' options on Text Cards
Page builders will be able to hide the 'maximize' and 'comments' options from the Card toolbar on Text Cards for all page types. This will provide page builders with more customization and control over the user interface, allowing them to create a cleaner, more focused layout that aligns with the specific needs of the page, improving usability and enhancing the overall user experience. - Re-order uncategorized pages
Page builders will be able to re-order uncategorized pages under the Contents section within Apps. This helps improve the logical flow and navigation of the app, making it easier for users to find and access relevant pages, thus enhancing the user experience by providing a more intuitive and efficient content structure.
