Optimizer: process incl. optimizer action with import on timeout should continue in case of timeout

Ability to select versions as a list formatted line item for use in lookup statements
Versions are useful as they allow switchover functionality enabling a user to both enter a forecast on a line and see actuals in the same line item.

For example: When a user exports from a ‘source’ Anaplan module, the user has the ability to export the ‘code’ or ‘list link…
September 2022 releases and October sneak peek - View Modules Used In Pages
The release this month is helpful but I think it missed expectations. What would be more helpful is to be able to see what UX pages a module is published on in the exact same way the "Used in Dashboards" column is in the Modules. The update would more or less be "View Pages Used in Modules". I used the column in the…
Be able to select a default summary type for a model
In the spirit of trying to keep our models size-efficient, we encourage model builders to set the summary type to "none" whenever possible in calculation modules (trying to follow the DISCO method here!). Unfortunately, when a new line item is created, the summary type always defaults to "sum" and it's very easy for model…

In our use case, we have 5 versions (Plan, Actuals, Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom3). We want to use different sets of versions for different modules based on the requirement. Current functionality gives…

It would also be great if we could create subsets of versions in models where there are many versions,
