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.

Anaplan Data Orchestrator (ADO)

• Dataspace support for ADO UX action buttons
  Page Builders will be able to choose a dataspace when selecting Data Orchestrator actions for UX pages, making it possible to locate and add the appropriate actions during page configuration from all dataspaces and not just the default dataspace.
• Match on Name or Code for model links
  When Data Orchestrator updates a standard list or a composite hierarchy that includes standard lists it will soon be possible to match on code as well as name. Numbered lists match on code.
• Export Code or Name for module based Data Syncs
  When extracting data from a module in a model into Data Orchestrator which includes line items of type list, it will be possible to choose to output the code or name when these are standard lists. Numbered lists will output code.
• Support ADO to Snowflake writeback
  Pipelines in Anaplan Data Orchestrator enable automated data movement between Anaplan and external systems. With the Snowflake writeback capability, users will be able to write datasets & transformation views from Anaplan Data Orchestrator directly to tables in Snowflake.
• Support ADO to S3 writeback
  With the S3 writeback capability, users will soon be able to write datasets and transformation views from Anaplan Data Orchestrator directly to S3.

AI

• Advanced Explainability
  Being able to explain predictions with mathematic precision and at the data point level (SHAP).
• Bulk delete
  Allowing users to delete multiple Forecaster objects in bulk and with its dependencies.
• Backtest results write to Anaplan will be optional
  Improving run times and data writing size to Anaplan by allowing users to choose if they are interested in sending the backtest results to Anaplan
• Add Forecaster actions to UX pages
  For end users to trigger as part of their wider planning experiences.

Optimizer

• Integration with Workflow and Optimizer
  Users will be able to run Optimizer actions directly from workflows.
• Use current solution option
  When you already have a strong candidate solution, you can use it to speed up the optimization process. This can significantly accelerate the overall solving time.

Enterprise experience

• Hierarchy Chart (Data driven hierarchies with Drag and Drop)
  This update will allow users to drag and drop nodes on the hierarchy chart to update hierarchies and see the impact. This enables visual Org modeling and Account Hierarchy Management. We will soon also support a new data structure to build the hierarchy using a data list. Select a flat data list for your hierarchy and select a line item to define the parent. Using a data list offers greater flexibility to visualize and interact with multiple alternative hierarchy structures across dimensions within the Hierarchy Chart. Enabling greater what if analysis capabilities.
• End user re-order
  End user will be able to manually re-order rows and columns in a grid via a right hand panel. Enabling easy access to configure the ordering of a Grid
• Combined Grids re-order
  Page builders will be able to Re-order the Grid sections as needed in View Designer.
• Module-driven navigation actions
  Define dynamic links for navigation action buttons on UX pages by connecting them to URL formatted line items.
• Commenting configurability
  Page builders will be able to switch commenting, or just the comments summary, on or off at a page-level giving greater control over how users collaborate on specific pages and the level of commentary they can view.
• Forms accessibility enhancements
  Improvements to accessibility and usability when users add new list items using UX forms.

Workflow

• Approve/reject links in emails
  Support faster and more direct approval cycles with approve and reject buttons embedded within the emails sent to approvers. Configurable and editable by Workflow Owners this will provide even more flexibility when planning how to engage with planning stakeholders.
• Pause and resume workflow schedules
  Providing greater control for users managing the execution of business processes, and ADO sequences, with functionality to temporarily pause scheduled workflow schedules.

Enterprise Security

• CAPTCHA on Basic Authentication
  To increase account security, we will soon enable CAPTCHA for Basic Authentication. This feature is designed to block malicious, automated login attempts. No action is required as the validation will be automatic.

Thank you for the updates.

When it comes to the ADO, would there be any plans to make ALM management easier when using Anaplan Data Orchestrator (also referring to the thread here: https://community.anaplan.com/discussion/160019/true-alm-for-anaplan-data-orchestrator)?

Thank you!
