It would be great to have Anaplan built in functionality to tell a user when an action or process was last ran. This would be extremely helpful in identifing forecast locking, data loads, etc.
Use Case : Data Hub
I am currently building a Data Hub to be used by other builders downstream. Ideally i would have a date flag against hierarchies to show when last updated so the builders know if now safe to load into their models. To overcome the limitation for now the source system was able to provide an extract date as an additional column to the child/parent file. I am using this as a property on the Cost Centre List to mark when last loaded. Clearly the same date will be on all cost centres. A useful hack for now.
Thanks

@DavidSmith that's great news!
@dafinkapancheva I see this when I go to settings-->actions. I haven't played around with this yet, but is there a way to get this to populate in a module? End users may want to see this. I know you could do an export --> import via an integration tool. How about a formula?
@KBeltz ,
I tested this new feature this morning and had exactly the same thought. It feels that what's been delivered is more of an MVP so I submitted this idea, which is what I think you are asking for :

I added another request to it as I feel the "Last executed by" information would be helpful as well.
when multiple users open a sharepoint file, sharepoint has avatars at the top right showing: who's in the file/location where in the file they are and whether they are making changes, or just have it open it looks something like this: anaplan should also have this function. when multiple model builders are working thru the…
Hi, As mentioned on our ticket CS0045337, workflows don't work accordingly the beaviour. If the creator of a workflow quite the company and the workflow is parametred to work with the trigger permission — we always disable the option "Run with origin user" — it has to work, such as cloudworks work.

How I got a subtotal to subtract one of its children — and still roll up correctly to the total — without touching the parent. The problem I had a P&L subtotal — I'll call it Net Other Income & Expense — in a standard list hierarchy. By default, Anaplan sums the children into the parent: Net Other Income & Expense ├──…
