"While/Wend" or "Do Loop" Functionality in Anaplan
Within VBA, it is possible to create "Loop & Exit"/"While/Wend" or "Do Loop" functions. This allows formulae to continue running until an answer is produced. Within Anaplan, there are workarounds, but none are truly as flexible, and all have their limitations. Creating this functionality would close the gap on some of the…
Enhance cell history to show higher level breakback cell data changes when making lower leaf change
When data is input into lower leaf items when breakback is active, the cell history does not update in the higher level summary cells. This can lead to confusion and frustration with nothing detailing where a data change was made, especially when large amounts of data are being manually input. This means some users…
Impact Discovery (Reverse of Drill Down)
Concept: You have entered an adjustment in a cell, you wish to see what line items, cells, items, etc. that are dependent on the entry or are impacted by it. Simply taking the referenced by information and displaying the equations that pull the value and how they change the value (+/-, T/F, Text Change, etc.) Benefits:…
Model Map - Imports & data flows
A model map for data flows via imports is needed especially for Data Hub.
Create an action using command line/shell script Instead of creating an action in anaplan.
The below feature is not yet to be included in the Anaplan Connect: Create an action using command line/shell script Instead of creating an action in anaplan.
Drag/drop and select multiple for reordering actions in a process
When reordering actions in a process, I would like to be able to drag/drop and also select multiple actions at once, the same way we can when reordering line items for a module. Currently, we can only do 1 action at a time, and move 1 spot at a time using the up/down arrows. This is very tedious and time-consuming when…
Ability to search Excel Add-In page selectors
The Excel add-in currently does not allow users to search for list members within a page selector. This almost makes the add-in unusable for organizations with large lists. The solution would be to add a simple search option similar to the Anaplan dashboard/page interface, where users can click a drop-down page selector…
Wider "Format" column / column resizing in module blueprint mode
Please make the "Format" column in module blueprint mode much wider. Currently, list-formatted line items with list names of more than a word or two cannot be seen fully, which makes it hard to distinguish between similarly named lists at a glance. The only way to see the full list name is to click into the line item…
Dynamic names for exports
It would be nice if we could define dynamic parts in the export filenames. For example a timestamp and or information about the selection perimeter for example : define the name like VALIDATED_INVOICES_%ORG ITEM%_%YYYMMDDHHMMSS%.csv that produces a file named VALIDATED_INVOICES_FRANCE_20211005165155.csv when generated
Formula Drilldown Highlight for Relevant Sections (esp. IF statements)
It would be really helpful if formula drilldown could highlight (maybe bold or with colors) the sections of a formula that actually apply in a specific calculation. For instance, in formulas with nested IFs, a lot of it will not apply in a particular calculation because the IF condition is not met. However, that is often…
New UX: Ability to Hide Parents for Fields Drop-Downs
Hi Team, Being a page builder it would be great to get ability to hide parents for list formatted Field card items and reflect the lowest level of the hierarchy only. See an example, here we have 6 levels of hierarchy, for some cases, I would prefer to show the lowest level (L6) only to make it more readable and convenient…
Add Codes to Modules
Idea Add unique system generated codes to modules/lists/actions/dashboards that cannot be changed. Purpose Allow for easier documentation of modules/lists/actions/dashboards by referring to system code. As codes do not change, references will stay valid even if names change. I imagine that unique codes already exist for…
blue toaster - on large models
Hi Team, As we work with larger and larger models - Data Hub and now Hyper Models the instances of blue toaster errors are becoming intolerable for most people. Even the slightest error can result in blue toaster for 10mins per time. It other forms of IT there is a distinction between verbose error handling and truncated…
Copy a Process
I am frequently encountering cases where i need to copy and existing Process then edit it slightly. Current example is a DEV model is being rolled out to many regions. I need to have a suite of Processes per Region as they are slightly different in the way they update from Data Hub. Right now i have to create a record of…
Working with Processes and Actions
Hi Team, Placing these here as a bulk request: 1. Would like edit/view contents of Action when I find it in a Process. Today I have to abandon the process then go find it from the Actions list. 2. Search Actions when building a process: When building a Process we have to scroll up and down the list of Action (which may not…
File format notification for uploads in new ux
We need to able to see the exact format(txt,csv) below the upload a file when we do file upload in new UX. Currently what ever the format of the file the action is created, it shows csv only. This creates the confusion for the user on which format the file as to be uploaded.
Export Actions in a Process
It would be useful to be able to export the Actions contained in a Process. Currently the only way to extract them is to highlight them all copy and paste into Excel. Add a column numbering 1 to x and then sort on the action name to get rid of the "Remove" labels and then re-sort back on the key to get the Actions in the…
Adding actions in the process
Similar to adding modules/lists, there should be a way to add action into the process by selecting the action that are already present in the process and be able to add before/after the selected action. As the action will be added at the bottom on the process by default it is time taking process for moving action to the…
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…
Export data to Excel, later version
Hi all, I am wondering why, when exporting data from Anaplan into Excel, the file type is a Microsoft Excel 97-2003 worksheet? Why are we using such an old format? Is there an option available to export to a more recent Excel version? Excel 365? We currently loose functionality in this old type of Excel sheets. thank you!
Ability to not show Top Level in List Formatted Drop Down
Hello- It would be really great if there was an option, when formatting a line item with a List for drop down selection, if we could exclude the top level from being selected without having to make it its own level in a hierarchy. Maybe a "Don't Show Top Level" box on the formatting screen? This would prevent some…
Allow NUX context selector to select the lowest level of hierarchy
Currently, if you select a leaf level item in context selector for a dimension used as a row or column, the selection will resolve to the immediate parent of your selected item (which is what will eventually appear in the context selector). The grid will match this, so if a leaf level item is selected, it will always…
Improving the quality of management reports when exported to Excel
The quality of the font on management accounts deteriorates when exported to Excel. It's OK when zoomed in, however just looking at on an A4 page it gets fuzzy. It may be that the resolution is too high?
End User display name
I have an end user in Japan who would like his name displayed in double sided in Japanese and English. Idea proposal: Much like a numbered list item can have a display name, so too with end users there would be an option to use either the email address or input text to display as the user name.
New UX - Refresh New UX Dashboard Button or Process
Hi Anaplan, It would be really useful if users could refresh dashboards in the new UX using a process or button or if functionality was integrated enabling user to refresh dashboards. The purpose of this is to allow users to make an input and see the impact real time. Thanks, Usman
NUX : Pass page selectors values in the URL for an app page
It would be very useful if we could pass page selector values as parameter in the URL, this way we could provide links to end users with a predefined selection and/or provide a more dynamic navigation from one screen to another. For example : https://us1a.app.anaplan.com/a/apps/app/xxxxx/boards/xxxx/month=Jan22&country=FR…
Option to prohibit adding child elements belonging to the same list
What is the purpose of a specification that allows a list with no parent hierarchy to not only have children of the top-level element, but also to add to each child itself further children belonging to the same list? It would be nice to be able to prohibit the addition of children belonging to the same list to the children…
An Anaplan Hash Function
There are times when a code needs to be generated in Anaplan and it would be really handy if we could use a simple hash function to do this (especially as Anaplan's code limit is 60 characters). The Hash function could be a simple one that allows input of text and generates a code limited to 60 characters or less. it might…
Actions and Processes executed via web UI to return taskId's
Currently, it is intended that actions and processes executed via the API return taskId's visible in the /tasks/ endpoint. These same tasks when executed via the web UI are not intended to return a taskId, resulting in different levels of detail returned by the API depending on the method of execution. We propose that all…
Style - Summary - With Line above
A relatively simple request. But could we have a summary style option that is the same as Summary 2, but with the above the cell? To me this would be used for subtotals and it just makes more sense that the line be above the number that is considered the Subtotal?
