Allow Module Views to be the starting point for a Custom View
When building new modules and functionality, we often end up creating and saving module views in the model, to make sure that we are able to see what we want to see, We then end up duplicating those in the UX, because UX custom views are so much more flexible (particularly with regard to conditional formatting etc). A…

Cmd + K/Ctrl + K Hotkey to open model search
Most modern websites use Cmd+K/Ctrl+K to open spotlight with quick actions or search. Anaplan uses Cmd+Shift+F/Ctrl+Shift+F. I believe that in future this window will be more than just a search so it needs to move from "search" hotkey to "spotlight" hotkey. It will greatly improve model building workflow and increase…

Recently during testing, we learned that despite the dependent dropdown setting, users are still able to copy / paste data into the line item as long as it is a member of the list. Is there a way to prevent users from doing this? Risk is that we are using the input as the basis for mapping and we do not want data to be…

Consistent Conditional Formatting Between Model Views and NUX Design
A view pre-built in the model with Conditional Formatting which is then published will not have the same look/feel compared to a card built manually in the NUX. As far as I am aware you are unable to edit the conditional formatting in a pre-built view in the NUX. I'd like the ability to have the same controls over a views'…

After each planning cycle or major model change, we make a backup of our models. This of course has led to a number of archived models which usually save in order of date created at the bottom. Please can we add the ability to sort by Name or Date Created or Size. This would really help in looking for a particular model we…
