Hi,
Can I create logic that only allows end users to perform an Import Action if the today's date has not passed the deadline?
Best regards,
Johan

There is no native functionality in Anaplan to populate Todays date. It can be achieved via a daily import driven via Anaplan connect however.
You will need to take a use input or the import from a schedule Anaplan connect action and use this to create a logic which will prevent writing into certain time periods.
If the data comes from another Anaplan model then you can simply filter out the dates. If it comes from an external source then I would use dynamic cell access and turn off write access into those dates.
Good luck,
Chris
yes: your import action MUST be controlled by a view which is controlled by a boolean (that MUST be the standard for all your imports).
In this boolean you ca simply compare against a today's date line item vs deadline. Even if the user runs the action, it will do nothing.
If the action is from a file, the only way is to do a staging first and then the controlled view logic.
Yes consider creating a boolean "Past Deadline?" that specifies, "Is today's date past the deadline?", and then another boolean that says "Import?"
The "Import?" line would have a formula along the lines of, "IF NOT 'Past Deadline?' THEN TRUE ELSE FALSE".
Then your import action will still "run" but will be depndent on the date if your data pulls over.
Hello folks, Does anyone know how to work around the Polaris limitation of using the Formula or Ratio summary method alongside the Closing Balance within the same line item? I have a Business Unit list where the total (All BUs) must display the Corporate (1 of 20 leaf items under All BUs total) number of Unique Customers.…

We've been recommended to save and edit files locally, which helps but certainly with its limitations…
