Looking at transitioning from Classic to UX? The U.S.E.R. methodology can be your guide in this journey. Follow these four steps to facilitate your adoption of the UX: Understand The goal with understanding is to build a vision for the UX in your company and empathize with users and address their challenges.

Hello, One of my models is generating this issue: "PLANNED Position # has selective access enabled and you may not have been granted access to any items." When I try to adjust the selective access, it then says "no items to select". I'm unsure what caused this issue and how to correct it. Any help sincerely appreciated.…

Hello there, I just had the most unenjoyable experience in speaking with someone from the Academy tech support. Level 2, Dynamic Cell Access 2.4.5 has a model to download. Seems simple enough. However, what they fail to remind you in the training video or anywhere on the screen, is that if you don't have the Page Builder…

Please take note of the following changes in our latest 2608 release: Multi-dimensional calculations now require valid rules. As of 2608, the multi-dimensional calculation process no longer runs when invalid rules are present - for example, a rule referencing an invalid member (one that no longer exists in the dimension).…

This month, we're launching a new type of Community Challenge focused on learning and discovery! We're excited to spotlight the board layout enhancements from the July Release, and we're challenging you to get hands-on, explore how they work, and share what you discover. This is your opportunity to experiment with these…

Hello All, The modules in the MFP model (DAT010 - Retail Based Historical Actuals, DAT020, DAT030, DAT040, DAT050, and DAT060) are already available, and the data for the different plans has been loaded. However, when I open Page 5000 - Seed Long Range LRP and select Seed Selection = LY, the following metrics are not being…

Hi team, I’m interested in exploring Anaplan XL and would like to know whether a free trial or trial version is available for users to evaluate its features and functionality. If available, could you please share the process or requirements to access the trial? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have advice on building a formula that properly calculates longevity for employees that includes an escalator based on their job effective date? I have everything built in the model but I cannot figure out how to get it to include the increases. Assuming someone is paid 20 dollars per month for every 2 years…

Steven Barry is a Certified Master Anaplanner and Connected Planning Sales Lead at Kearney. In Part 1 of the series, I introduced the decision contract as a way to clarify what decision a planning process must produce before the team begins designing the Anaplan solution. The contract defines the decision, owner, timing,…

We have discovered that Line Item Subsets cause unexpected behaviour in Polaris: their mere existence adds significantly to model size and calculation demand. This overhead is undocumented (it appears in neither Anapedia nor the Planual) and is not visible to the model builder during building. The only way to detect it is…

Problem: Co-modeler often suggests formulas that don't work - invalid syntax, or timeouts requiring manual copy/paste that still fails. This forces users to debug the suggestion and explain the model's structure back to the tool (often having to leverage another AI like Chat or Claude) instead of just applying a working…

Has anyone tested Analyst’s response quality/speed on large, sparse models (think 10+ dimensions, millions of line items)? Wondering if there’s a practical ceiling before it starts timing out.

Steven Barry is a Certified Master Anaplanner and Connected Planning Sales Lead at Kearney. This is the first article in a two-part series on using a decision contract to improve Anaplan solution design. Part 1 introduces the concept and explains how it can help teams clarify the business outcome before they begin…

Hello, I haven't used Anaplan XL in a while so now, I can't find a way to remove the prefixed quote for text data when using Anaplan XL. Can anyone show me how they figured out how to do that, please?

This article is part of a series on Polaris best practices. Click here for more Community content or visit Anapedia for detailed technical guidance. Natural dimensionality defined Natural dimensionality can be defined as the inherent and most appropriate number of dimensions (aka “lists”) needed to accurately represent a…

Is there a way to add a conditional formation on bar charts? I need to show past months in one color and future months in another color. I have the logic created and it's working fine on a grid but cannot make it work on a bar chart. Thanks

This shows all comments across all data to all users with access to the UX page. This is not appropriate for any UX which might contain security access sensitive data. Comments on grids and cards ARE security dependent. That works fine. But anyone with access to the page can open this Summary Panel and see ALL comments…

Author: Chandresh Lad is a Product Manager at Anaplan. Building a great model is a significant achievement. Keeping it effective, reliable, and easy to manage as the business evolves is a different challenge. Many Anaplan implementations begin with a clear objective: deliver a planning solution that meets an immediate…

When a line item is pivoted from rows or columns to the context selector on UX, it always shows all line items in the module in context selector, regardless of whether it is Classic or Polaris. This exposes all backend line items in the module.

Current Behavior Model Security controls which members users can access through queries and writeback. When an XL report is generated, Model Security is applied when the query retrieves members. However, if a Drill Indicator is used, the parent member is then expanded into its children based on the hierarchy without…

AXL Reporting has suppression options to suppress rows and columns but the problem is that these settings are AFTER query rendering. In example below there are only 15 rows of filled data but the query indicates a huge number of cells are needed. The enhancement needed here is to first check user suppression settings on…

In FCR users can be created using an import file. But once user is created it is no longer possible to import changes on users. Being able to import all user at once (all or some) to update their properties (except ID) instead of changing them all manually would be a great improvement.

Problem Statement Currently, Export Actions and Saved Views are not dynamically synchronized after an Export Action is created. This limitation creates additional maintenance effort for model builders and increases the risk of inconsistencies between export configurations and reporting requirements. Key Challenges 1. Saved…

Hello, On FCR, before the last release around 22 september, in the consolidation rule we could change account and movement manually. Now if there are no account fill, we can manually fill one but if an account is already fill we can't. We have to use the magnifying glass and select the account. It is a huge waste of time.…

In current standard grid modules and UX Grids you can't Collapse & Expand hierarchies of Lists/Line Items/Sublist like you can do in Excel (see below). Considering that sometimes hierarchies can be huge or you want to Collapse one part but Expand another - it would be good to have such functionality
