Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) back up best practice
Hi All, I have a question for Anaplanners running ICM. My company uses Anaplan for calculating commissions. We run into the issue of needing to compare the current month to a prior month. Currently I copy the entire model at the end of the commission cycle each month and archive it as a backup so I have a point in time…

Please help me to login in Level 1 Model Building 2.0 (New UX) model . My learning.anaplan.com password is not working in Anaplan.com. Please help me on urgent basis. I am not able to find out the way to login into the app.
Workspace size per user
I'm looking to increase the size of my workspace. I understand that to do this I'll need to add additional user licenses. For each of the 3 user types (Model Builder, Professional, Limited), how much workspace size does each user give you? So if, for example, I need to add 20GB of space, how many of each user type would I…
Level 2 Sprint 2: 2.4.11 Activity Using Selective Access
Why would I use Selective access for this task, if Selective Access is described as something used on a User-by-user basis? The Activity asks for something to be applied at the “Role” level, so any future, let's say, Chocolate Family Manager and Candyate Account Demand Manager should have the same permissions.
NewUX App duplication with page links
Hi! I've created an App in the NewUX base on a Dev model and now I'm duplicating this App and mapping it to the Test model for the user testing. The duplication and re mapping was performed without any issues but the links to other pages that I had in the App are still linked to the pages on the App created based on Dev.…
How to synchronize selective changes from Development model to Production model using "Revision Tag"
Dear experts, I'm trying to transport/synchronize selective changes from Development model to Production model. To handle this, I have captured the changes which are not useful into a dummy revision tag. In another revision tag, I have captured the useful structural changes. However, when I try to synchronize the…
Ability to automate ALM syncs using Anaplan API
A description of the enhancement requested: The user would like to be able to automate ALM synchronization through the use of Anaplan connect scripts. An example of the enhancement: We have 12 models to synchronize one at a time. We'd like to be able to run a script which would sync all of these with the click of a button.…
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…
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…
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…
How to freeze data based on user confirmation?
If a user clicks an action button, I want to lockdown the data in table that's available to that user so that he cannot change or modify it later. Once done, it should be frozen! Any approach to achieve this functionality is highly appreciated.
Toaster Time / Blue Box Culprit Anonymity
One of our best Anaplanners at Tableau recently left the Sales Operations organization. She unfortunately will not be an Anaplan user in her new role. Before she left, I made this "best practice" image for her, referencing an incident 2 years ago, when I was only 2 months on the job here. Joking aside, I've recently been…
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…
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…
Lost Workspace and Model Access
Hi Team, I lost my Workspace and Model Access. I was part of the elevate program. Can I get an extension? I am on the level 2 conclusion level. Thanks pallav
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.
13.3.1 Activity: Create Margin Summary Page
According to the instruction: "In the Financial Planning & Analysis model, select My Pages from the navigation menu in the upper left corner..." However, I did not find the Financial Planning and Analysis model. However, there was a "Instructions for Basic Edition customers". Do we fall under Basic Edition customers?
I didnot get 'Your account is active' email
Hey, I register and activate my account but I haven't received an email from Anaplan (no-reply@anaplan.com) to confirm that my account is active.
Users list as dimension in module
Hello, I create a module which is based on the 'Users' list. Admin of the model needs to have option to see all the users, but for now only I (Model Builder) can see all the list of users and the rest see they only see themselves. How to solve it? I will add that the settings in blueprint view are as in the attached…
NMX - Manage Models?
Before I reach out to Anaplan Support I just want to make sure that if it's only me or anybody else facing it. In New Modelling Experience (NMX) I am not able to see "Manage Models" Option. Misbah
Delete From List Using Selections works with respect to Selective Access?
Hi, Just wanted to confirm that does delete from list using selection works with respect to Selective Access? If the end user has full access of the model and not the admin access. If he runs the action to delete items from a list for which criteria is set to delete all the items possibly of those as well to which he does…
new functionality
Hello, it would be nice if administrators had option with better overview to see which roles/users have access to specific dashboards/modules not going into the long way and investigation to user and roles section. One place to see this, could be by dropdown menu to have additional option in menu. Please see attached.
Retrieve Cell Data for a view via API for non-admin users
We are able to retrieve cell data for a view, but that’s possible only for Workspace Administrators. Generic accounts always do not have admin licenses and there's no way they can read cell data. Without admin setup we are not able to neither wright back, nor read back. If non-admins could read cell data it would allow to…
Create an App Button Missing
I am trying to Create an App for L1 Lesson 13.3.1 and the Create an App button is missing on my App home page. I searched in other Community posts and this may be because I don't have Page Builder security access? Would someone please assign me the Page Builder role / security access in the "Elevate (Default)" tenant? I…
Allow User Admins to Enable/Disable Workspace Administrator Configurations
Fully replicating a non-administrator's access requires a model builder to either have two Anaplan accounts (one with WSA and without WSA) or requires another WSA to disable/enable the model builder's WSA configuration. The first option can be infeasible for certain Anaplan customers, and the second option becomes…
Change history
My customer is requesting a change history recording function as in Excel. Multiple users normally work on the same grid at the same time; at that time, they want to display the change history of which other users changed which cell and how on the screen. Without that functionality, it's possible that users don't realize…
Access Restriction in Line Items in UX
Hi, I want to restrict access for only one line item from a module as that has been used in UX page. How to enable read/write access on that line item with respect to different model roles like we do that for lists, actions and modules. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sandip
App Related Exports
Similar to how you can export a list of all models in a workspace, we need the ability to export the Apps in a workspace with a report of the connected models. Additionally, as pages & apps are archived when the connected model are archived, knowing the connected apps/pages with archived models should also be included in…
