Enforce Dependent Dropdown Validation for Pasted Numbered List IDs
Idea Description As a model builder, I want dependent dropdown rules to be enforced consistently across all data-entry methods, so that users cannot enter values that would otherwise be unavailable through the configured dropdown selections. Example of Enhancement I'll know this is successful when values that do not meet…

Management Reporting: Table cards should dynamically adjust the number of columns based on filters a
Problem In Management Reporting, the number of columns in a Table card is fixed when the card is created. When a dynamic filter returns a different number of items (e.g. fiscal years depending on the selected Version), the card does not adapt: If the card was created with few columns, additional items (e.g. FY29) never…

Force to open template in local Excel from workflow
We have a few templates that are required to open in Excel. Users access these templates from a workflow. Right now they open the template first in the browser and next they have to download this to open it in their local Excel. Can we have a function (similar what we have in dashboard) in the workflow object to force a…

Can import actions be restricted from updating read-only items in a custom version list?
Hi everyone, I have a custom list that represents versions. Users need to be able to see all versions in UX pages and reports, but one specific version (Version 1) should be read-only. The problem is that when users run an import action, the action opens a dialog where they can select the version from a dropdown. Even…

Validating ADO transformation view rows against Anaplan lists
I have encountered a gap in ADO's filtering capabilities for transformation views that I believe many integration professionals share. When working with source data, it is common to receive files that contain codes — currency codes, cost center codes, product codes — that are not relevant to the current Anaplan setup.…

Scheduled export of Reports and Pages from Anaplan
Can future development of Anaplan include the capability to schedule delivery of Pages and reports to individuals via email? This would be excellent for providing reporting views to management and would be a great benefit as well as match what is standard capability in packages such as Cognos or Hyperion.

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…

Landing page for Full access in UX app
The UX allows setting a landing dashboard for all the model roles except the default full access role. This is a step down in functionality from the classic dashboards where all roles including full access had the ability to set landing dashboards. This is causing a little bit of adoption hurdle as users with full access…

Selective Access on Flat List Subsets
Currently, selective access write permissions must be granted to a parent item for end users to modify an item's subset membership. In the case of a flat list, the items do not have a parent, which means users cannot modify the inclusion of these items in the subset. This has created challenges within my organization, as…

Hi, I created “My page” and whenever I clear cookies, my pages are getting reset with default view. When I intially created the page it had filters and pivoting according to what I wanted but as soon as I clear cookies, the view is lost and my personal page is getting reset. Need to fix this asap as all users in my…

Retention of Anaplan Native Time Data If It Is Present in the Model Calendar Range even on changing
I have a model calendar with current year set to FY27 which runs from Apr-26 to Mar-27 with one previous year and one future year i.e. FY26 (Apr-25 to Mar-26) and FY28 (Apr-27 to Mar-28). I have setup a current year time range with 1 year with Apr-26 to Mar-27. Now when I change the model calendar FY setting to start from…

FCR - User update via import
In FCR users can be created using an import file. But once user is created it is no longer possible to import changes on users. Being able to import all user at once (all or some) to update their properties (except ID) instead of changing them all manually would be a great improvement.

FCR - Consolidation rules : change account manually
Hello, On FCR, before the last release around 22 september, in the consolidation rule we could change account and movement manually. Now if there are no account fill, we can manually fill one but if an account is already fill we can't. We have to use the magnifying glass and select the account. It is a huge waste of time.…

NUX multi-model pages
It would be great to have a NUX page that allows working with data from all the models connected to the page simultaneously, without having to select a specific model at the top of the page. This would be especially useful for model builders when creating control pages that show synchronization results and model statuses,…

Polaris: Increase the 64-Dimension Index Limit
Business Problem & Current Limitation Current State: In our current Polaris implementation, the cumulative dimension index across just five core business dimensions has reached 55. The Constraint: With a hard ceiling at 64, this leaves a headroom of only 9 remaining indexes across the entire workspace/model scope. Direct…

Anaplan FCR - Ability to filter on import-map warnings within the mapping editor
In the Anaplan FCR map editor, users should be notified when there are validation warnings of already existing entries within a configured map they're attempting to open. More importantly, once the editor is opened, users should have the ability to filter on all rows with warnings. As an additional thought, users should…

FCR: Security Profile Access rules do not apply to import task
Within the Security Profile Access we have specified entity access based on roles. This works fine for reporting purposes and for data input via a template. But within our month-end process we have also an import task. This import task ignores any rule defined within Security Profile Access. Please add functionality to…

There are two enhancements that would make Anaplan Workflow much easier to use, especially when dealing with more complex business processes. 1. Ability to loop back to any of the previous steps Currently, we can create branches based on a decision task, but there is no option to go back to an earlier step in the workflow.…

Inform the user when its password needs to be changed
Dear all, Some times your system refuses us to log in. It seems it is because the password is no longer valid and has to be renewed. However absolutely no information is given to the user. Therefore he/she tries to connect again and again, until he/she thinks "oh, that should be the password that has expired". This is…

Dependent Dropdowns on UX Context Selectors
I've come across this need more than once now so I figured I'd post it here for the Anaplan product team! We have a client who utilizes a primary hierarchy for a core list but developed the need to see the lowest level in that primary hierarchy rolling up to an alternate hierarchy of parent list members. In their Polaris…

Pivoting line items to the context selector in UX is exposing all line items from the backend module
When a line item is pivoted from rows or columns to the context selector on UX, it always shows all line items in the module in context selector, regardless of whether it is Classic or Polaris. This exposes all backend line items in the module.

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…

AXL Reporting - Query Rendering Logic - Check Suppression First
AXL Reporting has suppression options to suppress rows and columns but the problem is that these settings are AFTER query rendering. In example below there are only 15 rows of filled data but the query indicates a huge number of cells are needed. The enhancement needed here is to first check user suppression settings 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…

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.

Allow refreshing multiple selected sheets/connections at once (as in the classic Excel plugin)
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: In the Excel add-in, refreshing is all-or-nothing: you can refresh a single sheet on its own, or refresh every sheet in the workbook.…

Ability to auto-name PDF based on context when exporting from Management Reporting
When exporting a PDF - the name is always the name of the page as it appears in the app. It would be good if you could configure this so that it recognises the context of what you were exporting, but could supplement this with text. E.g. if you were exporting a board pack, you could select the context of "Europe" and…
