Ability to record timestamp of input as a separate line item
It would be extremely helpful from an end-user and a workflow perspective to have the ability to capture the timestamp of a manual input as a separate line item, instead of having to look through model/cell history manually. That way you could easily see when the latest input was entered.
Building a Long Range Planning Model
Hi, I'm a new Anaplan user (completed L1 model builder). I'm starting a project to get our current Long Range Planning model from excel into Anaplan. This is my first project and I'm wondering whether other group members have any similar experiences. There is a template LRP model in the App Hub which I'm considering using…

SKU to Format, Flavour, etc
Hi Guys. I have the following issue with our Anaplan implementation. Our SKUs can be rolled up either to Format (FO), Flavour (FL), Volume (VO), etc. All these have parents such as F1 > F2 > F3. The common denominator between all of them is the SKU. I have created a SYS module that has all of these as properties, therefore…

The scenario is the following: I have an organisational hierarchy with Cost Centers and then Individuals as childs. I have selective access enabled to my cost center list and only certain users have access to certain cost centers (and…

Schedules Mapped by Entity Name in Anaplan
In Anaplan, I have a schedule that needs to have the name of an entity name change to the English version. I was put on notice recently, that the schedule is being mapped by the entity name. Can anyone provide guidance on how I would be able to see in Anaplan exactly how that schedule is being mapped by entity name and…
Sum based on Parent in Hierarchical List
Hi, I have a hierarchy of lists, L1>L2>L3. My module is dimentioned by L3 and has two line items, Input value and Input %. Input Value is entered by user. Input % = Input Value/Sum of Input Values for all list items of L3 under a L2 list item. How can I calculate this sum, as it is the sum of all items in L3 under L2 a…

Mouseover Hover Text for Model Builders
I think it would be helpful to model builders if there was a hover over option to display the text of a particular element. There are instances where the description is cut off for certain display elements and there is no option to resize columns for that element (I see this most frequently in the Module Blueprint and Data…

If we reapply for new workspace will the old model stays as it is or do we have to create the model from scratch? Thanks & Regards Badam
Allow column Formatting on Lists Grid View
Lists with multiple subsets (having long SS names) become confusing in grid view where columns only show partial names in headers. There should be an option to format columns similar to modules to increase column width etc.
Can you link to a specific record on a new UX page
I have a list of projects and i have a line item that is a link to the project page, but would like to go to the specific project they are clicking on. The html for the page is the same no matter what the item, but can you add a tag to the html at all, like you can in other apps?
Expand "Tree View" for Lists beyond 1,000 items
Lists automatically convert from "Tree View" to "Grid View" once the 1,000 item limitation is reached. In my opinion, the Tree View is much more aesthetically pleasing and easier to navigate, particularly as the data set gets larger. It would be great if the Tree View was maintained for an infinite amount of items (or at…
Add List Search Option while create module and Import from Existing Model
Hi Team, If we provide a search option to select a list when creating a new module, it helps model builders select the required list. Similarly, if we provide a search option to select the source for any import from existing model views or lists, it also helps model builders.

Drag & Drop Manage Views
The current process for managing saved views for modules is a bit time consuming. If you have a lot of saved views for a module and you need to sort them out. You need to click each saved view and either click "Move Up" or "Move Down", then it would still take time for the system to refresh. So imagine if you have 10 or…

More descriptive history entries for Blank Model Changes
Model history can contain entries saying "Blank Model Change", which can occur for example when changing the SSO access of a user. These could be more informative so we can understand what the change was. Another example - if you are setting a users access, it is usual to copy another users access by selecting an entire…
Waking up the model with Cloudworks
Hi everyone, As you know, initializing the model (moving it from disk to memory) can take a while, especially for the larges ones. This can be quite painful for the first users of the day, or for the first one to connect after lunchbreak. I don't find precise or recent informations about it, so here are my two questions:…
Additional modes for Formula Scope
