Solution for indent diabled for hierarchical list when the page has more than two axis

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello fellow Anaplaners,

I have a question about the UX for Anaplan for hierarchical list.

If I have a list with multiple layers, say P1, P2, P3, and P4, and the workpage had 2 axis, list and line items, in its vertical axis and time in its horizontal axis (see figure below)

The list is shown without indentations, and may cause confustion for users.

How do you enable the indentations with the list in the first vertical axis (in the far left)? When I have 1 axis in vertical axis or when I have the list in the second vertical axis, it works:

Thanks for your advice!

@naganot There is currently no way to override this behavior, however we are aware of it and hope to resolve it in the future!

Hi @naganot

As per my understanding the only way is, for the second image that you have attached above, include one more column, say indents, then bring those indents to that line item so, users can easily refer the List with layers and Indents together.

Thanks for replying. The thing I want to have is like in the first image, but with indents in the layers.

The first image should look like the second image but with the line item in the vertical axis.

I do not know how to get that, hence I need your help on this
