New UX for modeling: Formula broken down into lines & color coded
In the new modeling UX, it would be great if the formula is broken down into lines and indented when different parts of the formulas are in use (especially for multiple IF statements). Right now, even though the colors change per formula, it's hard to find where the breaks are. Additionally, right now every IF statement…

Enable an option to enter the functional area in the New Module creation screen
As soon as we create a new module, the module opens up. We have to immediately go back to the Modules section to set the functional area for the module. If this option was also present on the New Module creation screen, we won't have to go back to set the functional area.

Allow multi-selection option for the dimensions appearing on pages
When dimensions are appearing on pages, we can only select one single value from each dimension. This is a major limitation. Having the option to select multiple items from whatever is on pages will help a lot.
Visibility of whether a line item is referred by an action
In the blue print view we can only see if a line item is referred by formulas. If we similarly had the visibility of whether a line item is referred by actions, it would be very helpful.
Automatically sum line items of a module
Is there a way to sum all the line items in a module? Let's say I have 20 line items in a module at the moment and I want to sum it all up in the 21st line item. (1) Is selecting 20 line items one by one to get the total the only way? (2) Is there a way to ensure that if a new line item is added somewhere between 1st and…
Ability to refer to the total of all line items in a module
Presently to get a total of all line items in a module we have to create another line item and manually add the other line items in the module. This is both time consuming and error prone. Also if there is ever a addition of a line item in the module the formula for total has to be updated. Instead if we had a simple…

Enhance Users list with Subsets by Role/Manual/etc
We use users list in many of our filters modules/line items but the usage of the filters might be only for some set of users. We don't have option to use the relevant people only in users list for these modules. Which will result in more sized modules. Having option to manage subsets in users list by role or by manual or…
Trigger an action with a boolean
It would be nice if we could trigger an action and/or clear a line item based on a checkbox. For example when overriding values, we often use an "Override?" boolean to make a line item writable. If the user unchecks it he expects for the input to be cleared/reset. This can be achieved with an additional action, which is…

Is there a way to export with 4 dimensions on the left side and time (months) in the columns? I created a saved view and used tabular multiple column export (filtering the specific months with a boolean in a separate module).

Module Lines System Generated 'Created by' and 'Modified by' Detail
All module lines should include system generated "Created By" and "Modified By" detail for audit trail, compliance, and support reference. It is not always clear as to whom created or modified a line in a module. If a consultant or contractor is making changes to lines, the only way to find that detail is by combing…
