Reorganization of Tenant Admin and Workspace Admin Roles, Responsibilities, and Functionality
Hi Community, I wanted to share a scenario that may be a common issue for perhaps 1 too many customers. Let's say in your situation, you had 1 workspace administrator as the sole administrator in a given workspace. When they left the company, no one else had access to the data and that workspace. We can understand why this…
Data depersonalization
My company does not want to upload personal data of employees to the cloud. However, there is a need for sales management.

The ability to show/not show content in the App Contents Panel in the New UX
In the original UX, the ability to customise what is shown in the contents panel by role is really valuable. In the new UX It would be great if you could also have the ability to customise which pages are shown in the apps contents panel by role. At the moment, end users see all pages that have been built in an app and it…

Disabling line items from being used without wiping previous data associated with the line item.
Hi all, Wanted to ask for a best solution of this question if possible. I am trying to stop a line item being available for selection during a forecasting exercise but I am aware of the fact that if I delete the line item, all data associated with the line item will be wiped. I would like to 'disable' this line item from…

Ability to modify Role Access on Modules / Lists / Actions on a deployed model without ALM
I'd like the option to be able to change a module's role access in our live production model, which uses ALM to sync changes from our development model. This would be the equivalent of selecting production data on a list. This option would help because I wouldn't have to push ALL changes (including those still in…

Ability to manage Roles > Modules in the same way as Contents
In Contents you can set 'Show New Content' for every Role/Functional Area combination. It'd be good if 'Roles>Modules' tab could be managed in the same way i.e. you could set None/Read/Write per Role/Functional Area whilst still being able to set access by individual module

Context: * We took a copy of the production model (PROD 1.0) from the workspace A (Customer A) and moved…

OEG Best Practice: Model load, save, and rollback
Model load A large and complex model such as 10B cells can take up to 10 minutes to load the first time it is in use after a period of inactivity of 60 minutes. The only way to reduce the load time is by identifying what formula takes most of the time. This requires the Anaplan L3 support (ask for a Model Opening…

'Last Modified: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss' in Model Management
Think it would be a good idea for 'Last Modified: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss' to be present as a 'column' that you can also use as a sorting option for your models in Model Management. Would be particularly helpful for determining the date a model was archived, which is a semi-common request made to Anaplan Support.
Summary of Model Access by User

Model 'Time' settings import / export via API as a JSON object
It would be an absolute game changer to have the ability to export model 'Time' settings as a JSON object via the API. Subsequently, the ability to import a modified version of that JSON object to update the model calendar via the API would go hand-in-hand. This would allow for automation of moving the 'Current Period'…
