If multiple users are using the same dashboard , How could be the performance?
And how to increase performance if there is large data load and multiple users are loading into same module at same time?
Hi @PujithaB
When more users are using the same model, performance is worse than the case if less users are using the same model. Then the question becomes:
1. How many total users are added to the model?
2. What's the % of users who are concurrently using the same model?
Please refer to https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Model-Concurrency-Testing/tkb-p/Customer-Performance-Testing-Database
Regarding your question of "And how to increase performance if there is large data load and multiple users are loading into same module at same time?", i would suggest looking into 2 possibilities:
1. Create a data hub. Please refer to https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Best-Practices/Data-Hubs-Purpose-and-Peak-Performance/ta-p/48866
2. Split the 2 activities, eg schedule the large data load to happen during an offpeak period, so that when your business users are online, they won't be affected by this large data load.
And as usual, please refer to the best practices in https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Best-Practices/tkb-p/communitykb to design an optimal solution.

As @LipChean_Soh already mentioned that more the robust design less the performance issues. Anaplan handles it quite well even if there are dozens of concurrent users on the same dashboard provided we'd followed the best practices in the model design.
On Data Load - See if you can break the load in chunks - you can take it to 30, 40 chunks etc. and make sure that the load doesn't happen during peak time.
Data Load from End users - Now this is something that is the bone of contention. Let me share my views: If there are end users who start loading their data at the same time then it might take sometime (here we are talking about 10 seconds to 20 seconds - based on the size and the number of users). If your processing time is higher than a minute or two then it might be worth to break the calculations link based on the input line item and stage/store end user driven numbers into standalone module and then pull the data for calculations later (schedule the job later during offpeak period) - this you have to take a buy in from end users that there will be a trade off between the performance and the real time
Hope that helps

Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. 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…
