Hello Everyone, I have taken over the Workspace Administrator responsibilities within the business and I am still learning about the basic model maintenance tasks.

Levels to show only giving two options, not all levels of a hierarchical list
Probably an easy question but I am working through the level 1 course and it shows how you can aggregate based on a hierarchical list. When I try this on my own model it looks different and there are only two options. My view S01 Is a child of S02 which is a child of S03… S05. I'd like to display only the S03 Level. The…
Hierarchy Mapping from flat list
Currently we report our P&L using list Entity L2 which contains all our entities as a flat list. We want to create a new module that reports the same P&L information but not on a flat hierarchy. The dimension of this module is New Hierarchy L6 which rolls up into our highest consolidation level (TopCo) This is the mapping…

Many to one text merge
Hi, In my FP&A model end-users can add comments(in text format) to a variance module that is dimensioned by the user list(among other dimensions). How can I consolidate the comments so we can see comments from all users combined? I'm thinking we would have a secondary module not dimensioned by end user. The main challenge…
PSA: Deleted Models are no longer inaccessible to Workspace Admins
Anaplan introduced a new feature that allows for models that have been deleted to be restored by any workspace admin. This is wonderful for customers and partners to self serve when a model is deleted accidentally or needs to be restored and the hassle of going through Anaplan support/your BP makes it challenging or not…

Data Loss with Inroducing Time Range
So in the current setup, a module is dimensioned by Model- calendar time dimension and the horzion is from 2021 to 2026, the granularity being weeks.

Data Write Action: Optional input on children items if summary item selected via context
In general, data write action is a great thing, but it would be even more helpful, if the option could be set to behave the following way: When in the page context, a summary item in a hierarchy is selected, that the data write action could also be performed on that level, writing the value in all child elements underneath…
Bulk Copy Years
Hello everyone, I would like to move all the data in my model by a few years (Write all data from 2020 to 2023, 2021 to 2024…). For that I tried using Bulk Copy, but I can only copy individual months there, not entire years (if I select this accordingly, the button is greyed out). This is therefore a problem, as some…

Just like we have functions for Financial (COUPDAYBS, COUPDAYSNC, etc) and Call Center Planning (AGENTS,ANSWERTIME, ARRIVALRATE) can we have something similar to support Supply Chain Planning? Like End of Stock, Beginning Inventory, etc based on input parameters?
Data Validation when using Anaplan API
One thing i've found quite challenging when doing API implementations (and at this point i've done well into my 20s of these) is, what is the best way to validate that my API calls are properly working? Specifically - how can I validate that file uploads are pushing in the right data? There are so many different variables…
Cell count copy limits in Anaplan - Cell count requested '178676' exceeds maximum '10000'
Hi Because of cell count copy request limitation below; it would be nice if this can be enhanced to a much bigger number; we can then copy/paste in other systems e.g. Excel.

As a modelbuilder I would like to use FindItem with a property or line item
I have seen that I am not the only one facing the issue that there is property or lineitem which is neither a code or name of list but it is needed for identification, like a WHERE statement in SQL. Might it be possible to extend the FINDITEM function by an optional parameter to reference a property or lineitem which has…
Can we capture a tenant-based date/time value?
With CloudWorks, we can schedule based on date/time with a selected time zone, but that is not involved in any user-facing functionality. As I am working through the new Workflow training, I realize that the platform is now providing interactions with end-users based on date/time values in a selected time zone. This has me…

Drag and Drop functionnality (Line Items - Modules)
Hello It's will be helpful to have the drag and drop functionnality directly on each line item in order to rearrange easily on purpose Regards Patrick
Drag and Drop Actions (Process - Imports - Exports - Others)
Hello It's will be helpful to have drag and drop functionnality in the Actions page in order to rearrange them inside their respective bloc (Process, Import, Export or Other Actions) so it will be easier to group them if need include actions into a process using the drag an drop dunctionality Regards, Patrick
