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.
Dear Hive Mind, Do we have a way to get the history of a particular List Item, from its creation into a model up until its removal ? I am trying to chase when / how an item has been added into a model and how / when it would have been deleted and then recreated with the same code. Is there a pattern (manual or API) to get…
I have an action in a process which is getting failed since 2 days when run via CloudWorks with below error . No issues when run manually . Same error occurs when run manually but as a warning "Import complete but with failures" This action is running since almost a year without any issue . No change has been made to…
Hi, I have a module with a time range as a dimension. I've set it with a daily time scale, but Anaplan's way of showing daily dates is for example "1 Jan 37" and I need it to be in numbers because when I export it excel doesn't recognize it as the date format that I've set in Windows (OS) (when a date as two digits it's…
