Single Sign on security enhancement
We got a requirement recently to limit access to single sign-on setting. At the moment all administrators are able to deactivate this for themselves at any given moment and effectively skip all security controls. We believe that not all admins should be able to do this. In companies which have more builders (for example…
Hierarchy Uniqueness - Non-Numbered Lists
Hi, I currently have a hierarchy with 4 levels (non-numbered lists). In our official hierarchy, levels 3 & 4 can have the same name, so we append a L4 to those particular items in Anaplan. Recently, I updated the process to pull the metadata from a different module in the data hub - but did not incorporate the L4 to the…
Question on switchover dates
Hi all, We are having some slight issues with switchover dates in our financial model. We have outlined the issue in detail below: Background The structure of our model is that we have 5 different versions, of which 4 are currently being used (Actual, LIVE Forecast, Previous Forecast and Budget). The screenshot below gives…
SSO user experience enhancement
A description of the enhancement required: If a user is already logged into Anaplan and they access Anaplan via a new tab using a predefined bookmark that points to an Anaplan URL, when that user clicks the Anaplan URL it should use SSO to log them in. In the current state, we redirect the user to the Anaplan log screen…
As WS admin I should be able to bulk delete users from workspace
Description of the enhancement required: Ability to remove multiple users from a workspace at once. An example of the enhancement: If multiple users need to be deleted from a workspace at a single time, it would be much quicker for an Admin to have an option to do it in bulk instead of selecting each individually. A story…
Pre-defined Conditional formatting rules in the NUX
Hi there, At a lot of our clients we're using conditional formatting to highlight the difference of an input line item or calculated line item. E.g. input line items are formatted with a light-blue color (Format nr 2 and using range 0-5 with white-blue). It would be completely awesome if there was a way of setting standard…

Preview of space required when adding new list members
Ability to see how much space is required when adding new members in a list. For example, adding a new cost center would increase the entire model size by 10M cells. This would allow model builders to plan ahead and stretch their creativity to optimize how they structure their lists - quick cost/benefit analysis.
Ability to manage Contents in Settings
It's currently cumbersome to manage the contents for various roles in the Settings tab. 1. Having the ability to collapse the Modules & Dashboards sections within each functional area can greatly speed up navigating which modules/dashboards to provide views to. 2. Having the ability to assign all modules/dashboards within…

In order to collaborate with select outside stakeholders whom we permission, we need this public URL or iframe in order for these stakeholders to collaborate…
Monitor model sizes
Periodically we are making an overview of all our models and their size. This is a manual exercise and only possible to collect via 'manage models' in each separate workspace. We then copy the model sizes every month in one of our models to monitor growth. It would be nice to be able to see the model size via the Anaplan…
Ability to Compare Changes Between Current Model State and Last Revision Tag
Need an ability to compare changes between current model state and last revision tag, so that we know what all changes are to be part of future revision Tag. Existing feature include comparing changes between two Revision Tags - however this option is kind of reactive in nature and not proactive. Meaning you really can't…

Selecting List Items to Hide/Unhide in Deployed Mode
On multiple dashboards, I am trying to unhide a list member. My deployed model obviously won't let me make any changes, but the dev model doesn't have any list members. The only solution I can think of is republishing all of those different module views to dashboards. I am trying to avoid this because it would take awhile,…
Change to User SSO Flag/API Connection?
Have there been any recent changes to the API or user access that would affect how our data integrations work?
