TEXT() function to follow Excel rules
Being a Anaplan builder, I would like to extend TEXT() functionality to work similarly to excel function, exactly: 1) Follow different format conversions 2) Follow preset patterns, to exclude unexpected text from numbers results etc. Example of wrong work to be prevented with new functionality: Text(1504322.40)= 1504322.4…

Show whether a line item is used in an action
I'd like ability to see, in blueprint mode for a module, whether a line item is used in an action. This, along with an existing Idea requesting to see if a line item is used as a filter for a Saved View, would significantly speed up model clean-up time

Warning when attempting to change a saved view used by an action
No small amount of problems have been caused in our model by someone unknowingly altering a saved view that is used by an import action. It seems reasonable to me to tell the builder who is about to delete, or overwrite a saved view that is used by an action so they can make a decision to proceed or not. Ideally, it would…

New UX: Row label width displays differently on New UX compared to module view
On the New UX the default column width for row labels displays differently compared to the classic module view. This can lead to a row label on a column displaying fully on a module view but when created as a grid on the New UX it can sometimes cut the text, requiring manual adjustment of the width. Example below: As you…

Know which view is in use on dashboard
When reviewing a dashboard, we do not know which view among the 10's of views of the module is used for that dashboard element. Only way is to review each view, and then make the changes. Ability to find which view is being used would help navigate better.

Ability to reference a Line Item generically.
I am requesting the ability to use a generic 'me/myself/self/here' reference in functions that require a Line Item. An example: Original: PREVIOUS(Total Average Balance) + MOVINGSUM(Total Average Balance, -11, -10, AVERAGE) New: PREVIOUS(Here) + MOVINGSUM(Here, -11, -10, AVERAGE) The benefit of this is: if the Planner…

Change NAME() and add CODE() to Users list
As a Model Builder, I need a function to return User's First & Last Name, so I think the best solution would be adding CODE() function for Users list (which would have current functionality of NAME()), and change behavior of NAME() function applied to Users list. For backward compatibility, if NAME() cannot be changed,…

User List Top Level
The users' list should have a top-level for calculations. Currently, the users' list can't be used for inputting data as there is no top-level so errors occur when referenced by a line item without the user dimension.
-
Ability to Reorder Users
It will be very helpful if there is an option to reorder the names in the Users list. Since we can use users as a dimension now, some of our use cases need users in alphabetic orders or to have all users in one role together. This will help in user administration as well.

Select a specific version when creating lookup formulas
Hi, It would be great if we could have formulas where we can specify a version (like it works for actuals) or if we could apply any line item to a specific version.
-
Make Versions a Format (DataType)
Make Versions a list format so we can use with LOOKUP logic based on user selections. Would prevent the need for versions mapped to a pseudo-verison list with IF/THEN logic, ultimately reducing complexity and increasing ease-of-build.

Allow Multiple layers of Conditional formatting with more flexible color options
Let conditional formatting options be stackable in layers (similar to MS Excel). In my current model we have a table that uses color across all cells based on the development stage. At times we also want to color cells that have an error to a particular color of red, however this is not possible without stackable…

Ability to create Version subsets allowing to have many different versions without impacting size
Hi Anaplan, As Anaplan grows users will require to create multiple versions allowing them to look at historical information without creating many archived models. The solution to this is to have many versions and be able to subset version lists, therefore saving on space and being able to view historical information…

New UX: Ability to enter carriage returns on text fields
This seems pretty basic to request, but I'd like to be able to drop down a line or two in a text field, without having to use another text field (classic does this). For example, in our classic model, all of our pages have a Single text field below the page's title that include something like this... PURPOSE: (description…

Single Sign on security enhancement
We got a requirement recently to limit access to single sign-on setting. At the moment all administrators are able to deactivate this for themselves at any given moment and effectively skip all security controls. We believe that not all admins should be able to do this. In companies which have more builders (for example…

New UX needs to have a multi-lingual user interface to allow non-english language implementations
Hi Anaplan, The New UX does not currently support a multi-lingual interface. Many of our clients are asking for this to be implemented. It would be really beneficial for many Anaplan Users across the world (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America) for the new UX and UI to support a multi-lingual interface. Great idea suggested…

Monitor model sizes
Periodically we are making an overview of all our models and their size. This is a manual exercise and only possible to collect via 'manage models' in each separate workspace. We then copy the model sizes every month in one of our models to monitor growth. It would be nice to be able to see the model size via the Anaplan…

Option to open Settings Menu Items as Tabs
In our model, we have 220+ dashboards and 400+ modules. When going between looking the list of modules and the list of dashboards, the lists reset my view at the top, causing me find the one I wanted to look at again, this can be very time consuming. Ideally I'd be able to open these Settings Menu items as tabs, so that…

Show Subsets in the General List area in settings under the List they belong to
I would love to see the subsets created under the list they belong to in the General List area in settings. It would make using them and maintaining them easier. And, when learning new models, it's really hard to tell the difference b/n a subset and a list and to what list the subset belongs to.

Community: Add fields to user profiles to allow community members to share their experience
I think it would be really interesting if Community members could share additional information on their background/Anaplan experience. I could envision this being helpful if you were looking for other uses who come from a similar industry or use case, so thus would also request the fields to be seachable. Below are some…

This means that the process should be treated as a global action…

Hiding Saved Views in Classic UX
At the moment within our many models there modules with several saved views. Would be good to be able to "hide" the saved views so that as a modeller I can see the list of modules and then I can see the views either by clicking to expand or via the normal open command in module view. Would make model development a lot…
