Actions/processes to be triggered by boolean line items in the model
This ideas comes from the need for many of my clients which use the classic engine to use concatenated/combination lists to overcome sparsity issues. Whenever, a new combination of dimensions used either in actuals/budget/forecast is used an action can be triggered to run which automatically creates the combination list so…
NUX Map/Map Box with Shading/Scale/Heat Map
The Map Box has been a great addition to the Anaplan Platform, however, it still lacks a lot of visual functionality that is available in tools like Power BI, Tableau etc. In my case, as far as I can tell, there's no way to create any sort of visually pleasing heat map, or do any country shading that doesn't involve the…
Allow the workflow to skip the step is the assignee is missing
To increase the flexibility of the workflow, it should be able to skip the step, as opposed to stopping the workflow, if the assignee is missing. It would allow us to design a workflow with a stronger logic and more complexity.
Allow the approver to be selected from a module, on the workflow decision template
I would like to be able to select my approver from a module, in the same fashion as for the tasks. Otherwise, I am not able to use the functionality in complex approval flows.
Model Search enhancement
Just an idea, it would be great if we could add in 'Model Search' ability to search module+line item. For example instead of searching module name and then line item or searching line item and trying to find correct module, we could just pate in the 'Model search' a 'module name'.'line item name' so it would give us…
REQUEST: Better handling of Top Context placement
It would be nice if the gap were the same, in either placement situation. The one on the left ( bottom placement) is the preferable one.
Last Edited, last Author in Blueprint Mode
Would be nice to see a column in the Blueprint mode who edited this line Item at last, or when did it edited.
Please change the layout of blueprint view!
The New UX is great and has drastically improved the end-user experience however, the model builder experience has really lagged behind. Anaplan models should be as easy to build as they are to use. There are some really easy wins to be had that will drastically improve the experience for model builders, in this…
REQUEST: better handling of the Link to a page option with Link style of “None” on Text Cards.
Currently the PB is able to set a Link style of “None” on Text Cards when setting a Link to a Page selection . But it just doesn’t “work.” IT will save. But the User isn't able to navigate with the Text card as the link isn't available. I request that this scenario be handled in the same way it is for an Image Card.
REQUEST: better control over resetting column widths
Allow the PB to right-click on a Column in a Grid card and then select Reset width for just that column. Currently, if the PB wants only one column to resume auto-sizing, they have to click Reset widths for all Columns, losing any other column widths currently assigned.
Anaplan API Python Connection
Anyone has tried to do a Anaplan API Python connection? I have an idea that I want to build scenarios in the magnitude of 100,000s. This will not be possible if we are using the inbuilt version page. My idea is to store the parameters of the 100,000 scenarios in cloud (for example azure) and run it in Anaplan and output it…
GeoMapping - Custom Country Codes and Grouping
It would be fantastic if we could group countries and call them as territories . Most of the organizations don't work with countries for planning as in world map due to whatever business reasons and would like to group countries as one territory like Germany and Austria for Europe and while selecting that in map we have to…
Dynamic Aliases for Line Items (and other objects)
We are currently experiencing considerable product complaints from key stakeholders and project owners that need dynamic aliases, and for them to be dynamic (formula driven). The closest Idea exchange in the community can be found here. Competitor tools like IBM and Oracle, have this capability. An example of a specific…
Allow user to have more control over expand/collapse feature in context selector of NUX
The newly released expand/collapse context selector for pages in the NUX does not seem to "hold" the choices within the selectors. For instance, if I collapse all levels in the context selector, I would expect those levels to remain collapsed the next time I open/refresh the page. However, when the page is closed and I…
Collapsed view of Hierarchy/List
Having Ability to start with Collapsed view of Hierarchy is one of key requirement for many end users. This gives end users a capability to start a report with collapsed view and only drill down on need.
Supply Chain Related Functions
Just like we have functions for Financial (COUPDAYBS, COUPDAYSNC, etc) and Call Center Planning (AGENTS,ANSWERTIME, ARRIVALRATE) can we have something similar to support Supply Chain Planning? Like End of Stock, Beginning Inventory, etc based on input parameters?
CloudWorks API - Increase the "Get integrations" retrieve limit
I use the API below to get CloudWorks integrations list: https://cloudworks.docs.apiary.io/#/reference/get-integrations The retrieve limit is set to 250 which forces me to create multiple API calls to get the full list (using offset and limit parameters). It could be a good idea to remove this retrieve limit (the number of…
Prior Year YTD total option for Time Ranges
Hi, We have a large reporting requirement for reporting versus prior year for reporting month and Year to date. The month is easily achievable but if we want to create views that compare Prior year to date versus current year to date its a lot more fiddly. Alot of our monthly reporting is done through the Excel Add in and…
NUX Synchronized Filters across cards
A couple months ago, Anaplan rolled out a new feature where cards can have synchronize scrolling if they show the same module that shares a dimension. Similarly, it would be helpful if we are able to apply a native card filter that can synchronize across multiple cards that show the same module with the same dimensions. *…
UX, App-dropdown need to have category
In new UX there are many apps we are creating as per models. now we have 59 Apps there is very difficult find app names.. Can add category or search (find) option in that section so we can find any app easily.
New UX and Management Reporting: Recommended Visualizations
When creating pages and reports, if you have already published a grid to a page, it would be helpful for Anaplan to suggest a visualization that corresponds with the published grid. Depending on the data, Anaplan would suggest the visualization that is the most meaningful to telling a story related to the data. (Bar vs…
Gantt Chart Card
There is a center alignment of row header text on the Gantt Chart card, which makes hierarchal presentation impossible. You are not able to differentiate any of the children from the parent line items as all are in the center. This one aspect renders this functionality, useless unless the center alignment of text can be…
New UX - Allow page builders to enable / disable the "Model is busy" notification
It would be great if page builders are able to control if the "Model is busy" notification appears on a page. We have been recently seeing instances where the "Model is busy" appears on worksheets for a few seconds, which causes the whole table to "Jump" around which some end users have voiced grievances to.
CloudWorks - possibility to cancel Export Process
It would be nice to have an option to stop export process to external data bases in CloudWorks. We ended up a few times with situation where a process exporting data to Google Cloud was stuck for 16h and it could not be stopped by us or by Anaplan Support.
Cloudworks - view the queued processes and/or cancel process queuing
In case of Anaplan issues with Cloudworks servers, processes that were on schedule start to form a queue that is released once Anaplan solve the problem. We ended up a few times in situation where the same 30 min process (normally scheduled every 2h), run 3 times one after another. This is causing problems with other…
Allow tenant administrator to add/delete workspaces
Hello, Currently we have to reach out to our account manager if we have to add/remove workspace or reallocate any space between workspaces. Is it possible that Tenant admins are given this functionality?
Track Page Usage by User and Model Role
It would be great to be able to see which pages are most utilized by our users. This would allow us to be more strategic with future page building, while also allowing us to remove pages that are no longer being used, thereby reducing clutter for end users when navigating between pages. Having the ability to view these…
NUX quick sum selection cannot exceed 1000 entries
When quick sum in NUX are performed for over 1000 entries then no sum are displayed, due to "Your selection exceeds the amount of data that can be retrieved from the server". In the classic dashboards up to 10000 entries could be displayed. This might protect performance, but some users are concerned on transitioning into…
Use of Generative AI for planning functions
Hello There, I wanted to bring to your attention the potential enhancement of incorporating Generative AI into the planning function within the Anaplan platform. The integration of Generative AI capabilities has proven to be valuable in various business sectors, and it's an aspect that warrants consideration within the…
Power BI - Anaplan
I would like to propose integration between PBI to Anaplan. This will be really useful in many organizations.
