I also have a Line Item Formatted with the Employees list. When the employee clicks that Line Item all the Employee List items appear, not only the Selective Access items…
'Last Modified: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss' in Model Management
Think it would be a good idea for 'Last Modified: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss' to be present as a 'column' that you can also use as a sorting option for your models in Model Management. Would be particularly helpful for determining the date a model was archived, which is a semi-common request made to Anaplan Support.
Change Justification of Line Items - Left/Right/Centered
It would be helpful to be able to be able to change the justification format of a line item for enhanced reporting purposes. For example, we've been asked to have both the text and number formatted line items to be centered to create better readability in a report (as the module has both text and number lines, currently…

Model 'Time' settings import / export via API as a JSON object
It would be an absolute game changer to have the ability to export model 'Time' settings as a JSON object via the API. Subsequently, the ability to import a modified version of that JSON object to update the model calendar via the API would go hand-in-hand. This would allow for automation of moving the 'Current Period'…

New U/X Updates
hi, is the specific new U/X Forum section not being used anymore? Doesn't look like you can start a topic in there (https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Your-New-User-Experience/bd-p/platformuxforums) It's quite useful having these updates all in 1 place, to see what developments are being made. Thanks, Andrew.

Ability to disable selective access for a specific module
We have selective access activated on several lists (mainly organization) and for 90% of our needs it works well. However, in some modules we would like the users to be able to see the data of the entire lists (even if they don't have read access on parts of this list). Currently, the alternatives as we see them are: * to…
Have an option for action buttons to only be clickable is a defined criteria is met

Do not show zero values in charts
Description: As a model builder I want to have the possibility of not displaying zero values in charts, so that the display is not impacted by the fact that there may not be any values (not that the real value is zero). It would still be great to keep the option of showing the zero values when desired, as in some cases it…

Before I go and put this on the idea exchange wonder if there's a way of hiding saved views from the contents panel so that just the main module name is visible?

When creating a new Dashboard for the UX, on occasion you may want to duplicate views, but when you don't and you would like exclusively for UX, adjust in the UX then have available for classic, or you may generate a 'custom view' in the UX, aside from duplicating your work you have no way to retain those actions.

Summary Default to None for Numeric Line Items
Can the default Summary for numeric line items be None rather than Sum. This way it's a conscious action to turn the sum on, rather than a need to remember to turn them off. I know there's another post to have this an option that can be set by each module, which would be advanced, but I continue to hear about sums being…

Copy Dashboards - Same as Module
I would like the ability to copy a dashboard from the "Dashboards" area under Model Settings. This would provide more consistency to model builders. Right now, I have to open the dashboard and copy from the dashboard from the user dashboard menu, which isn't quite as intuitive.
