Create Lists for the Tenant rather create Lists for a Model

johan_vangerwen

At Anaplan we promote a DataHub model. This is the central model to create/manage Lists, to import data into and to transform this data, to have the Lists and transformed data imported into the relevant models.

 

As for the Lists, rather creating the Lists in each model and to have a process to update these Lists across multiple models, to be able to create List at Tenant level and that each model will be able to use those Lists.

 

Advantages:

• a true single source
• in UX a Page can only be connected to 1 model, currently it is not possible to sync the "same" List in multiple pages with different source models. This could perhaps open the door to have a sync between pages with difference source models. In the end it will contribute to the end user experience that they work in one App.

Agreed, this will also help with users accessing lists.
