Polaris: Line Item Subsets cause severe size leakage
We have discovered that Line Item Subsets cause unexpected behaviour in Polaris: their mere existence adds significantly to model size and calculation demand. This overhead is undocumented (it appears in neither Anapedia nor the Planual) and is not visible to the model builder during building. The only way to detect it is…

Grid Designer - Use Slicer in combination with Tuple definition
Typically, a dimension selection can be linked to a filter to display the relevant elements. In Financial Reporting, this is important because it allows the user to make the selection via a filter rather than having to access the report definition every year. Example: The report then responds to the filter by displaying…

Community needs a revamp -- it is failing at 2/3 objectives
From my perspective, the Anaplan community has three purposes: Customers/Partners to share feedback with Anaplan so the roadmap can be designed with those who actually use—and pay for— the product(s) in mind. Status - Mixed success leaning towards failure— as of about 4 years ago, Anaplan stopped interacting with and…

Make Time Ranges Production Data
In order to support varied testing and especially split-model deployments (same dev model with different data sets/time periods), it would be useful to have Time Ranges be Production Data. This will provide value in allowing all deployed models linked to the development model to be configured independently and save on…

Auto-Sync Capability Between Saved Views and Export Actions
Problem Statement Currently, Export Actions and Saved Views are not dynamically synchronized after an Export Action is created. This limitation creates additional maintenance effort for model builders and increases the risk of inconsistencies between export configurations and reporting requirements. Key Challenges 1. Saved…

FCR Feature Enhancement: Align Model Security with XL Drill
Current Behavior Model Security controls which members users can access through queries and writeback. When an XL report is generated, Model Security is applied when the query retrieves members. However, if a Drill Indicator is used, the parent member is then expanded into its children based on the hierarchy without…

Support “Approval from All Assignees” for Dynamically Assigned Approvers in Decision Tasks
Currently, when approvers are assigned dynamically from a module line item, a Decision Task proceeds as soon as any one of the assigned users approves it. Please extend the “Require approval from all assignees” option, which is currently available for manually selected approvers, to dynamically assigned approvers as well.…

Total positions for nested dimensions
Please add option to change Total positions order on rows/columns when nested dimensions are applied. Currently it can only be applied towards single dimension. When adding at lease two dimension, order becomes "Before" by default and the following error is returned when trying: "Cannot group totals on a nested axisSetting…

Allow "Writeback" to be configured as a global Anaplan XL default setting
Current Challenge In Anaplan XL, the Allow Writeback option is currently configured at the workbook level and must be enabled separately for each new workbook or grid. For teams that frequently use writeback functionality, this creates repetitive setup work and increases the risk of users forgetting to enable the setting…

Workflow status is not representative
Hi, As mentioned in our ticket CS0040626, according to us, workflow status is wrongly green whenever one of its tasks is failed. We would like a red status of the workflow in this case. Workflow status has be coherent with its task status. Workflows status can only be green when all the tasks succeed. Regards

ADO: Column Profiling
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: When transforming data with ADO, it's difficult to validate the integrity of the data: Column profiling tools would be useful. It…

Create a Formula to Reference a User's Model Role
Dynamic cell access can be extremely challenging with long user lists, especially if you want a user's read/write abilities to be dependent on their model role. If we were able to reference a user's model role via a formula, we could create role specific criteria for dynamic cell access.

Expand/collapse for hierarchies on columns and line items
The new expand/collapse functionality for hierarchies on rows is a great improvement! It would be helpful to have the same functionality when a hierarchy is pivoted to the columns. This would give users more flexibility in how they structure a view while still being able to hide or show detail. It would also be useful to…

Multi-Cell Selection for Auto Calculation
When selecting two or more cells in Anaplan, a calculation menu appears in the bottom-right corner displaying useful statistics such as Count, Min, Max, Average, and Sum. This is a helpful functionality for quickly analyzing selected values. However, the current functionality is limited to contiguous cells. Users cannot…

Conditionally Show/Hide elements of a page based on line item
When we are designing boards for clients we often have a trade-off between: Too many pages Too much information on the page A really powerful feature would be to have the ability to show hide elements of the page (example: fields, cards, grids, charts or even entire rows) based on a line item that can be a user selection /…

Leveraging Anaplan Workflow and ADO for Controlled Financial Sign-Off Reporting
Financial planning models are constantly evolving throughout Forecast and Budget cycles. New requirements, model enhancements and business changes are essential to support better decision making. However, these ongoing developments can create a challenge when approved numbers used for management reporting remain directly…

Set Integration Admin Role
The Integration Admin role needs to be assigned differently to a user than other roles. It would be great to harmonize these settings as I did not find it myself. Maybe other roles are affected as well Administration → User → Roles vs Access Control → Assignments

Import into new User subsets
Super excited about User Subsets. However, we will need the ability to import into the user subset to make it useful. Another potential workaround would be the ability to use roles to auto populate the subset.

BETA View - Search Module option and the Export Modules functionality
Enabling the Search Module option and the Export Modules functionality in the Beta View version would be extremely helpful for model builders. While optimization it will help to find where module published on UX and referenced.

Conditional Formatting on Booleans
As a model Builder I would like to use Booleans as a Basis for Conditional formatting. For example. I have a Boolean/ Checkbox which indicates that not all fields in a new Item/ setting has been filled. I would like to be able to use that boolean directly instead of reverting to a number. The advantage would be to save on…

Support for Custom Dimensions in CYNI and Retained Earnings Roll-Forward Without Data Loss
Dear Anaplan Product Team, I would like to suggest an enhancement regarding the consolidation process when a model requires "double consolidation" (e.g., consolidating by the standard 'Entity' dimension alongside a custom dimension, such as 'Business Unit'). Currently, we face a structural limitation regarding how the…

🚀 Stop Writing Nested IFs in Anaplan - Use LIS Instead
If you’ve built complex Anaplan models, you’ve probably written formulas like this: IF A THEN IF B THEN IF C THEN Value1 ELSE Value2 ELSE Value3 ELSE Value4 It works. But it’s slow. It’s hard to debug. And six months later… even you won’t understand it. Let’s talk about why nested IFs hurt performance and how Line Item…

Pop-up notification about upcoming timeout
Would be nice to have a notification about timeout due to long inactivity in both NUX and Classic. Good addition will be to have a button to be able to reset the timeout countdown. This way end users and model builders will be able to save there progress and won't have to re-open every tab/page they had on their screen.
