Hi,
I am looking for a functionality to setup time ranges with 3 or four months, is it possible?

Hi @Suman Reddy
No, you cannot have a time range with just 3 or 4 months, the smallest unit in Model Calendar/ Time Range is 1 year.
What's the business case that requires ONLY 3 or 4 months?
Why can't you have 12 months, and then use 3 or 4 months?
Thanks,

Thank you @LipChean_Soh for the Reply, See below business requirement.
I have created supplier bid module, which will be used by various suppliers. This bid process will happen only for 2 months in a year and I have take back of daily modification by individual suppliers during this 2 months time. If i give full year range it is increasing module size with various other dimensions in it. That is why i am just looking for 3 months time range so that i can save the memory.
I understand, but unfortunately we can't define a Time Range than's shorter than a year.
I'm not keen to suggest using a Fake Day list without knowing more about the business requirement, i.e. formulas, mockups, problems faced, etc. You should close this topic, and create a different topic if you need some suggestions from the forum.
But you should know that while a Fake Day list can help save workspace, some of the most powerful Time related functions in Anaplan are not applicable.
@Suman Reddy have you thought about having a 3 or 4 year time range and align each "year" to a month. This from @DavidSmith might prove a helpful read through.

Then you get all the benefit of time periods functionality (and not needing to use fake time) whilst minimising the model size
Thank you @andrewtye.
I have not seen this earlier, I will check this one.

I have A6 as the parent list and two sibling lists: A6.5 and A7. The A7 list includes an attribute that maps to A6.5. In the UX, the user will select A6.5 using a content selector, and the grid (dimensioned by A7) should display only the A7 items associated with that selected A6.5. Since the selector is a page context and…
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
