New UX Questions

These questions came in from someone on our blog post, I'll try and answer them here:

Thanks @jim_ma for your questions! 🙂

************************************

Hi, I've completed the UX online training and now have a few questions,

1) Didn't see anywhere that the end user can save their personal views (i.e. hiding some rows/columns, pivoted worksheet). Is it possible?

2) Can end user import CSV files into a worksheet UX page?

3) Can page builder publish an Anaplan model action to the board/worksheet page?

4) Can page builder publish an UX action to the board/worksheet page (i.e. open another page/app)?

5) Can end user sort/re-arrange a hierarchy, or sequence of line item on the page?

6) Can SSO be linked to the UX app home page directly (bypass the Anaplan model list view) for end users?

Thank you very much.

Answers:

It's coming soon - look-out for something called "My Pages" that we will post about soon
Yes, you can add actions to a worksheet page, and action cards to Boards and worksheets. Select an action and when users run that action they will be able import csv files.
Answered in 2. Look at docs for Actions and the Action card.
You can add quick links to the worksheet side panel. You can also use the new navigation feature of Cards to enable navigation across pages.
Not yet.
Not yet, but in the next couple of months we'll be enabling a new Home experience which will be the place you land after login.

Hey @simon_ritchie ,

I have created an App using the New UX. I wanted a copy of this app so that i can freeze changes in the old one and start working in the copy version, but i couldn't find an option to copy this app.

Can you please clarify on this problem.

Thanks,

I do see the home option but still interested in linking SSO to the new ux home.

Hello simon,

- Is it possible to put 2 actions that come from 2 different models on a same board ?

- And can we synchronize different apps together? make change on the first one and synchronize these changes to update the other one ?

Thank you by advance ! 🙂

Hi @alexandrecerceau

- Is it possible to put 2 actions that come from 2 different models on a same board ?

No it's not possible to put 2 actions from two different model on a same board because when you create a page

(board or worksheet ) then at that time you have to define model name.

And can we synchronize different apps together? make change on the first one and synchronize these changes to update the other one ?

No i don't think so you can synchronize different apps together but you can create two different pages within same apps.

Below example will show you the flow between two different model with new UX

Can you help?
