Hi, I wanted to check if anyone has experience on regularly exporting the history of the model.

Is there a way to easily do that? Any best practice tools?…

Hi, I am unable to customize the mapping for imports in Anaplan, as an non-workspace admin. I was able to do that until 17-jan. Can you please guide if that's a change/bug in Anaplan Platform. PFA the screenshots for your referral.
Allow history export summary only
When the model history is shown on the screen it is as a summary. When it is exported as a file it contains all the details. For some uses this is too much data and it would be good to have the option to export as a summary, just like the data shown in the dialog.
Export the 24 hour history summary without transactional detail?
I have a nightly batch that runs 14 processes. Most of them upload a file and run two import actions. Since this is the data hub, the only activity is this batch. The History page for the last 24 hrs shows a nice summary of what got done. During routine operations, users will rarely go into the data hub ... so there's not…

Issue importing dates as text
Hello, I'm trying to import a date into a text-formatted property from a source file. This works on my machine, however when another user uploads the same file, it seems to be creating a text field which includes 2 digits for the year vs. 4.

Make upload templates as a flat file so we can have 1 upload template per model
It would be interesting to have the possibility to have upload templates as flat file in order to ease the management of upload templates. This would allow us to have to manage only 1 template, and a list of columns that are "uploadable" We would need to have as many columns as dimensions, 1 column for the line item and 1…
Date Stamp List Property for Imported Data
A similar concept around date stamps was suggested here: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Date-Stamp-for-manually-entered-reference-data/idi-p/38423 but I would love to see this for imports too. A problem I've come across is importing data from a CSV without a date column into an import list. There are…

Import Action Editor Visibility
It would be great if all features of an import action, including field mapping, were visible and could be edited in one place. Particularly challenging today if an import file is set to private, once it expires after 48 hours, it is impossible to view or edit the import mapping.
Number format being changed when importing between models
I am attempting to set up an import between modules in two models; the target module has a has a list of numbers as the 'applies to' while the souces has a list of business areas.
