Assigning Page to App
In the new UX is it possible to assign a page that has already been created to an existing app? I thought this might be done in the Administration section of the new UX but it seems that page is down. Thanks, Derek
Function that returns a User's Model Role
It would be really helpful to be able to query a user's model role, and with that information be able to do things like: * Allow / Limit access to information based on a user's role * Use in dynamic cell access formulas * Allow a module on certain dashboards to be read-only (for larger audiences), while the same module on…
User Roles not syncing
Hi All, I'm recently facing issues where for some roles in the model, access to actions are not being properly moved from Dev to Prod model. For example, If I give WRITE access to a Regional Manager role from some Approval Process(Having certain number of actions) in the Dev model and then move it PROD. Now if I check the…
New UX : Make an App non editable / not deletable if non editable
Although essentially part of @usman.zia idea on https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/The-New-UX-should-have-ALM-capabilities-for-managing-changes/idi-p/50814 this is something very specific and just being able to lock-down an app so that if it's sitting on a TEST/PROD model then it can't be amended, maybe…
[ALM] Data refresh development model with data of the production model
In most of our models we are using ALM. With this we promote structural changes from development into test/production model. Sometimes our dev/test model has messed-up data, which causing we can't do proper testing. To avoid this we sometimes delete the dev/test model (after all changes has been synchronized to…
Excel Add In User Security Read/Write
Hi, does anyone know if User Read/Write definitions from an Anaplan Model translate to Excel Add In? If a user only has read access to an input module, that user then creates a connection to that input module with the Excel Add In, if they chose to create a read/write connection, would they have only read access, or would…

ALM and dashboards
hi I am developing an ALM model, that has 1 Dev model, to many Prod models. I have a question about dashboards. Is there a way to have good looking headings?

Display the Latest Revision Tag for a Model in the Manage Models Dialogue
When you have multiple versions of a development model it is not easy to see whether the model is up to date without either opening it or trying to run a Compare and Synchronise. It would be helpful to display the last revision tag of any deployed model on the Models dialogue so as to avoid this.
Subset - have a notification when deleting subset items
Actually, subset are extremely structurant in a model and need more security. In order to prevent to delete data by unfortunately unchecked item within a subset, We would like to have more notification by windows displaying (or other feature) first to remind the consequence of such action and also have the related modules…
Ability to add .txt file to a Revision Tag
I think it would be beneficial to have the ability to upload attachments to a revision tag as supporting information for a development change. It would not need to be any more complicated than uploading a .txt file against each revision tag. Currently, we have the ability to add a title and description for each revision…
API V2 Enhancement - more info about models

Ability to automate export of blueprint view for module through API/Anaplan Connect
It would be very useful to have the ability to automate the export of a blueprint view of a module through Anaplan Connect or the Anaplan API - in this way we could compare an export of a blueprint view of a module automatically, to check if the structure of a model had changed over time. I have been working with a client…

Model Status based on Versions
During our planning process we export data from Anaplan and upload to HFM twice daily. While running those exports we change the Roles->Versions to 'Read' so that no changes are made during that 10-15 minute window of time. Yes, we'd like better integration automation, etc but just not there yet. Question: * Is there a way…

'Notes' field within Users list
It would be useful to have a Notes section within the Users list (similar to the Notes section in the module blueprint). This could be used to make suitable notes, such as who requested their access and when it was given, question whether a user can be removed, or in my case, we have many colleagues in China who use a…
