Publish Next Item Index
Is there a way to publish the Next Item Index from General Lists onto a App Page? Would be great for a Model Admin to be able to see when a List Index needs to be reset as it approaches the 1B mark.
Running History by User
Hi - it would be useful to be able to run a history log by user as well as time/date range. The history tab isn't the most user-friendly as it only shows a certain amount of changes and the text file export is even less user-friendly! Sometimes I just want to know what one specific user has done in the model. Thanks!
LOG4J vulnerability and Anaplan
Does anyone know if there is any impact to Anaplan due to LOG4J vulnerability? https://abcnews.go.com/US/cyber-vulnerability-poses-severe-risk-dhs/story?id=81713422 https://www.wired.com/story/log4j-flaw-hacking-internet/…
Order Action- Workspace Admin workaround
Anaplanners, I introduced Order Action as part of the project creation process for the end user so that while they create a new project it automatically reorders the entire project list. I realized its only possible for a user with workspace admin. Is there a workaround for this ? Thanks

[Start Here] Application Lifecycle Management–Part 1: The basics
While building in Anaplan, have you ever wondered how to make model building more efficient, stable for your end-users, and increase control over access rights and changes to model structure? Then you may think, how do I have that much structural control but still be agile enough to make quick modifications to my apps and…
Email Opt-In (Marketing) Default Setting
Description: Provide ability to choose default option for Email Opt-In when a user is added to Anaplan. Example of enhancement: Add a new User. They automatically default to Opt-in to marketing emails. Want to choose default setting to Opt-out. Benefit/impact: Meet our security requirements.

Expanded and Simplified Audit Report For Page and Other Model Artifacts
I would like to be able to export a report that shows how often users interact with pages, modules, actions, lists and other key artifacts. Some of this data can already be accessed using the model history or tenant audit however it is quite limited and often requires data manipulation after extraction. This type of…
Does Anaplan integrate with 64 bit Office 365?
Hello. I am prepping to deploy Anaplan throughout our estate. Our environment is Windows 10 with 64 bit Office 365. None of the installations available here: https://help.anaplan.com/f92365da-8224-4804-94e7-9b7d7bf31918-Downloads integrate natively with Excel (ie - no Anaplan tab displayed). I have attempted all 3 version…
[Start Here] SCIM - The Basics
Are you using Central Identity Management (CIM) and want to connect Anaplan directly to your Identity Management System (IDMS)? Are you facing challenges with a Security audit? Would you like to add Anaplan to your corporate User Provisioning process? If any of the above questions describe even a part of your Anaplan…
Changing/Editing the automated email provisioning
While provisioning new users the email must allow in the body to add additional details such as point of contact, other portal details, or links where details are mentioned. Instead of the standard email where the administrator's email is sent to be the point of contact.
Ability to Reorder, Sort, Filter, Group and generally Organize the users list
Our model has 700+ users so the list is quite overwhelming to deal with. They're also in some who-knows why randomized order. I see no easy way of changing this order short of removing them all and re-importing them in a different order. It would be really helpful to deal with this size of a list by allow admin to: *…
Switchover and Current Month change
Hi, It would be great to have functionality for automatic update of cheking out the Current version as well as changing the Switchover month during the period shift. I was informed that it's no possibility to do it not manually. It can be done e.g. by the switch button or the opportunity to trigger it when the month…
"Model Health" / Performance Dashboard
As an external Anaplan partner, we get regularly the question to look into the performance and structure of customer models to assess the health of a model and to find opportunities for improvements. I built for this a model that allows me to upload f.e. line items and gives direct insights on key areas like size, usage of…
Create a Roles List That Can Be Referenced in Modules
Having a Roles list that is auto-generated and able to be leveraged in modules would be very helpful. For example, in certain system/admin modules we assign read/write drivers on partiucular line items. Currently, the users list is leveraged to dynamically change the access via a formula and an import. However, having the…
Notes for NUX Pages
Please add Notes to NUX Pages for Page Editors to view. In the Notes for Page Editors we will be able to maintain context/background for individual pages. This could be useful as some pages were used in one way for a particular group/role in classic dashboard, but the page is now used for a broader audience or for a…
make the SSO user setting just like the Workspace Admin: unchangeable by yourself on your user
Years ago, Anaplan users used to remove their own model builder accesses, sometimes leaving the workspace without any MB to give it back. Anaplan updated the platform so that you cannot remove your own WSA access. Anaplan should do the same for SSO login: today if you check the SSO and you don't belong to the workspace…
Cloudworks configure job to run as another account <Service account>
It would be nice to configure Cloudworks integration to run as "user/account" <Service account> instead of using the current account when you create/configure an integration.
Add ability to add a time constraint (filter) to the Bulk copy functionality.
Idea: We are asking Anaplan to consider adding the ability to add a time constraint onto the Bulk copy functionality. For example, when performing a bulk copy, I want to pull in a sub-set of data based on time vs. all data. Business Impact: When doing a copy of my forecast version I copy the entire time scale of my Anaplan…
Anaplan password for external users
We use SSO for Anaplan sign-on. Now I have to set up some external users so I did not tick SSO for their access. When they log on, they can use their own email but what should the password be?
Allow Workspace Admins to use NUX dashboards when a model is offline
It would be helpful for testing purposes if workspace admins could still use the NUX dashboards when a model is offline.
My Pages - Admin Overview
I see that the My Page feature has picked up significantly at some customers, particularly with worksheets. Yet, as an admin it's a great trouble to understand the impact of changes to these personal pages. Today it is only possible to see the number of "My Pages" created by each model. As a Workspace Admin, I want an…
Selective Access to Time Scale
It will be helpful to have selective access to timescale as well as there are different people looking into historical data and projection data. We don't want to show projection months data to people. We tried with filters but people can break the filters by pivoting the view from classic and NUX pages as those views…
Utilizing the Excel Add In via Teams
Our organization has recently made a push to utilize Microsoft Teams more and house shared files within the teams channels. I noticed that if a file has an Anaplan Excel Add-in connection that teams will not allow you to utilize it. Has anyone run across this issue and is there a fix? Or does Anaplan plan to have this…
Workspace Management on Tenant Admin Console
Currently in order to allocate/redistribute the workspace within the tenant we raise a ticket with Anaplan Support and get it done. Idea I am proposing is that we have this feature for Tenant Admin or Tenant Security Admin on Admin Console. This will save some time in getting the redistribution done. Also Tenants will play…
ALM Role
Create a new role for ALM admin. This role has the possibility to deploy models and to undeploy models. This way you can prevent that workspace administrators take a model out of deployed model by incident. In our setup we do need people to be workspace admin to be able to assign user roles etc but we do not want them to…
