Search Functionality in 'Manage Models' Window
With mature Anaplan workspaces, there are typically dozens of models that would have been created during Foundations, development or for sandbox uses. As the list of models grows, it becomes hard to scroll through the list to find a specific model. This difficulty is especially evident in partners' workspaces, where there…
Workspace Admin - Preview as a Model Role
As a Workspace Administrator, I would like the ability to "preview" models as if I were a assigned to a model role (other than 'full access') without the Workspace Admin privileges. As a Workspace Admin, I can assign myself to any model role and preview what the model will look like for those end-users. However, still…

Old idea that needs attention: Tag a version as completely Locked
Possibility to tag a version as fixed, so changes in parameters and formulas do not impact the data anymore. This is really important for improving the reliability of the data for customers that want to be able to calculate multiple versions at the same time. If a formula change is needed in that case old versions also…
Function that returns a user's role
There are times I would like to show or hide data, allow access, etc. based on the user's role. For example, some data is sensitive, and I would like to use Dynamic Cell Access to allow someone with the user role "Admin" to read/write the sensitive information, while someone without the Admin role would see nothing.…
Additional History Filtering in a model, plus history extraction/access
On the History tab, provide more data filtering options such as filtering by history action name. For example, my customer needs to filter only user-security related actions for detailed audit history beyond the level of detail provided thru Audit in Tenant Admin. Ideally we would like to have access to the history records…
Allow Admin to globally disable "Open Source Module" option based on user role
I would like to be able to set access to the "Open Source Module" option for users based on their role across a model. With this feature in place I could disable "open source module" for non-admin roles, while allowing those with 'Full Access' to open the source module as normal. Win-win. WHY: There are groups of users…

OEG Best Practice: To version or not to version?
One of the most common questions I get asked is when to use native versions versus using a general list to replicate versions. As is often the case, the answer is: it depends. Let me run through some key areas to help you with the decision. Functionality What functionality do you need? We always advocate using native…
Availability of Model Name on Audit Logs (Administration DB)
It would be very helpful if the model names are exposed in addition to the object IDs in the audit logs on Anaplan's administration DBs. This eliminates the need to either retrieve the object IDs and corresponding model names by using the Anaplan API or manually checking the object ID from the individual models.
If I don't mark a list as Production List, what will happen? Since I don't modify my list often.

Show/hide pages in new UX w.r.t user groups / roles
In Anaplan workspace, after we set the configurations for modules, versions, lists, actions w.r.t multiple roles, we have the option of going to "Contents Panel" and hide the modules accessible for the roles and only display the dashboards for the end users. In the new UX, we also build pages which is also controlled based…

Selective Import
In Anaplan we have. Now we want to maintain monthly data appending. This works fine. Next I find the old actual data for some records was incorrectly entered. I update it in the Hub but it doesn't get reflected in automatic process, as it takes the old values. I don't want to select the other option as my old data might…

This would allow anaplan clients to use the new look and…

since "When you save the export definition, the sort criteria, filter, and rows/columns that have been shown or hidden are saved with the export."

Allow Actions to Write even though there is no write access to the module
Usually Snapshots are created by running a process (Create & Import). For this, we have to provide write access to the module and list. This is dangerous as the user can accidentaly / intentionally can change the snapshot data itself. So we should have ability to write via action and not write directly into the module.…
