Hi,
Is there a way i can lock actual data when importing in Anaplan ?
I have changed the version edit from and edit to but when i test the import, prior period are being updated by my load.
Thanks in advance for helping.
Regards,
Tom

'Edit to' and 'Edit from' is the best option to restrict the data feed into the specific versions. It should work.
But if it not working out, your can use the dynamic cell access as well. Create a module with a 2 boolean line items with the versions and use it as a Read/Write access driver. Whenever required you can lock the specific time periods for any version you want.
I hope it helps

Hi @anand.shekhawat
Thank you for responding. I have already set the "Edit from" and "Edit to" in our Native version, but when I test to run an import, prior periods are still updated.
Am I missing something here ?
@tompatrickting22 ,
The import action will let you to import the data in all the cells if you have an administrator access of that particular model/workspace irrespective of the periods set in 'Edit From' and 'Edit to'. Once your admin access is disabled (like the end users) you can only import the data in the selected period only as set in 'Edit From' and 'Edit to' fields. The same goes with the Dynamic Cell access as well.
@tompatrickting22 As mentioned by @anand.shekhawat ideally you cannot restrict data updates via import. However if you really want the import to lock the Actuals data, I would create a transactional module as a temp module to load all the data via import from the source, then create a saved view with filters to show only forecast months and use this saved view to import into the main module wherein you want to lock actuals.
Hope this helps.

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…
