Can please explain why we create a general list ,a module,and Action ,and what purpose each one serves.🙂
Hello ,
In simple terms , list is what we call the library where a list signifies a collection of related items which signify an entity for a model (for example - employee name , region, customers etc)
Module is a native feature of Anaplan which is the engine or a building block for an Anaplan model , module is created using lists as dimensions and we create line item in order to create intersection or hold the data . A module is essentially say how we use the lists and add line items to enter formulae and get the results.
An action as the name suggests is an Anaplan functionality which is used to load data into Anaplan either from external source (import) or from within the model , so action is basically a feature which allows users to click a button which can be published on a page which instructs to perform certain tasks.
Thank you 🙂

The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
