No, I don't think you can do that.

Hi Sandip,

Popups are not supported, however you can create formula based static alerts for each user

@anaplan It should be introduced in Anaplan.

As has been confirmed pop ups is not currently possible.
However you can use a variety of different cards in the UX in the meantime to show warning messages based on a predetermined criteria.
KPI or Field cards would be especially effective in showing written messages while you could also use picture cards to display visual alerts if certain formula driven conditions are met.

Thanks, but are you saying a button routine WOULD (not could) refresh that card without the user having to refresh the page?

Always more helpful if you would provide a solution example image. Suggested Example: Budget Submission button depressed.

BEFORE: Image of BUDGET SUBMISSION button in with blank card beside

AFTER: Image of BUDGET SUBMISSION button with populated message card beside saying "your budget is submitted, be sure to supply your budget narrative."

Hi @ericp_*60884

We can achieve this by incorporating an IF-THEN function within text (link) line items, which we will label as "Submission Message". This involves utilizing conditions derived from a Boolean checkbox. For instance, when the checkbox is ticked, we can display the message "Submission done", and based on this, we can construct a formula that checks the checkbox status. If the checkbox is true, the formula will output the URL for the image corresponding to a completed submission; otherwise, it will output the URL for an image indicating that submission is pending.

Formula Construction based on Checkbox State:

IF Checkbox? then "URL for submission message" else "URL of submission missing mesaage"

Afterward, you can proceed to publish this line item using the Anaplan Image card

Image Card Publication:

Utilize the Anaplan Image Card for publishing.
Configure the Image Card to reference the line item Submission Message containing the IF THEN formula(Submission Message)
Publish the Image Card for the changes to take effect.

For your reference, I have attached screenshots demonstrating the functionality in action.

Can you describe a scenario, where/how you want to see that warning message?
