This would be great for creating a timestamp when running an action.

@wwood 

Just to say, we are planning to add a timestamp in the actions screen to show when the action was last run

@DavidSmith  Is there a rough targeted timeframe for that enhancement?

DavidSmith

@CallumW 

With all of the usual caveats!!!

 

We are aiming for Q1 2021

Good morning all,

Time stamping will allow better traceability and therefore better quality! Roll on the year 2021 - the year 2020 is to be forgotten - COVID-19!

It has been on the roadmap for considerable time?

I would like to post an update on, this as I am aware we have not communicated any news on this for a while. We are still planning on implementing a TODAY() type function that will allow the current days date to be returned (with a parameter to specify the timezone). This won't be delivered into production until next year (2022) though. There is a significant amount of complication with this function as it would be the first function whose returned value would change without any other user action. We have chosen to prioritise releasing the Enhanced Calculation Engine (with native support for sparse data sets) before we release the TODAY function next year.

I'd also like to request an update. It would be especially useful to setup an action using Cloudworks that takes the current date from in a specified time zone and update the Model Calendar. This currently requires a third party system to source the date.

alexpavel

@zbunting totally agree .

Also, it would be possible to implement Current Date/Timestamp by creating a new action type.. see below link:

Any update on being able to get the current date and time directly in Anaplan via a function?

JoanaNdreu

Hi everyone, is there any update on this Topic? This would be a very useful functionality! What does on Roadmap mean? Thank you in advance!

It CAN be done via a process the you schedule on cloud works. If you set up a module formatted as date (Day). Another lineitem that adds one day to the first. The you schedule a process to copy line item 1 to lineitem 2 every day. Then you have a place where you should always be able to see todays date.
