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,

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.
Hi, I am working on a solution where the User should only have access to write/edit the list members that they add from an Action on the frontend. This action adds another list member to a selective access list. The problem is, in order to run the action, you need access to the entire list, so you would see all list…
Hi ALL, In my model, I have Need stored at a 'D3' RS Group level. I need to use this Need in another module at the G5 Location level. I currently have a mapping module where each G5 Location maps to a D3 RS Group. This Module uses D2 Role as dimension. but the line item I've to find the RS Group (Find D3 RS Group = 'FIND…
I couldn't find any formula to do this, but I want a way to put on the page/grid the connection details. This is so I know what connection I'm in rather than going into Connections details to see it. Is there an XL3 formula to return this value?
