Anaplan Product and Feature Updates: subscribe to Anaplan’s feature updates pageto stay on top of upcoming releases.
Recent Highlights:
Used in Pages (this one has been regularly requested!)
In the modules view beta experience, model builders can now see which UX pages are linked to each module, improving visibility into dependencies and reducing the risk of unintended changes.
Page List enhancements
The Pages Inventory has been enhanced to provide a more seamless and unified experience, aligning closely with the functionality of the New Modules Inventory. This includes a compact toolbar, page deletion, editable table columns, enhanced column sorting and arrangement, modules attribute column, and persistent right-hand panel tabs.
Coming soon:
UX browser tab syncing
A new setting will be added to enable UX pages to sync any context or data updates across browser pages, including context syncing (when a user selects items like 'UK' or 'Q1' in one tab, those selections automatically update in all other open tabs of the application) and data syncing (any changes to data, such as adjusting forecasts or adding uplifts, instantly refresh across all tabs so users can always see the latest information without needing to refresh or reselect.
UX Grid Undo enhancements
End users will be able to use keyboard shortcut keys to undo: A single-cell paste, multi-cell paste, single-cell delete, and a multi-cell delete.
