Password protection to Excel Add-ins
hi, we've got users who have been asked to increase the security of the data they hold. They currently use Excel Add-ins, and tried putting password protection onto their spreadsheet. However, the data uploads failed with password protection activated (even though they'd already opened the spreadsheet with the password).…
Ability to disable selective access for a specific module
We have selective access activated on several lists (mainly organization) and for 90% of our needs it works well. However, in some modules we would like the users to be able to see the data of the entire lists (even if they don't have read access on parts of this list). Currently, the alternatives as we see them are: * to…
User Access Creation Control
Hi, How can we restrict the users having modeler access so that they should not be able to add users to the workspace except a few ? The user addition access should be given to few users and restricted for others. Is there a way to do it ?
Migrating Module changes from Development to Production
I am new to the ALM process but it appears the main process is for migrating Models from Development to Production. We have several developers who will be in different stages of development within the model. So migrating the entire model is likely not going to work for us (after the initial syncing of the environments).…
Dashboard Design (350)
Overview This class’ intention is to focus on the process of conceptualizing and designing dashboards that are relevant and useable for the end user. Dashboards provide the needed focus on the output of the model, which is important for good model design. You will find this class useful if you want to understand how to…
Allow marking Line Items subsets as "Production data"
Currently line item subsets are structural data and the only way to make changes to them is in the dev model then syncing those changes to prod. I would like to be able to mark a line item subset as production data so I am able to add and remove line items to it in my production model.
Ability to search for list items when granting read or write permission to users
Assigning read/write access to users is currently laborious, especially when the list is a composite list with several hierarchy levels and list items. For example, I built a workforce model where security was applied at a cost centre level, and the cost centre hierarchy had 7 levels and thousands of members. The ability…
Promote Revision Tag to Multiple Spoke Models at One Time
With the way our Anaplan environment is structured, it would be a huge time saver to promote revision tags to multiple spoke models at one time instead of having to update them individually. Anyone else share the same need?
Take Locked model offline
As a Model Builder and member of CoE, I need to be able to set the model in the Locked status as "Offline". Currently, when the model is Locked, all users who have access automatically have access to it (so it's in "Online" state). But sometimes, we need the model, which only Workspace Admins can see, but it's not editable…
Certifiacte authentication problem
HI All, I am trying to convert the anaplan .cer file to pfx for java key store using openSSL But it is asking for a .key file which is not there in anaplan. what is the workaround for this?
New UX option not visible
HI, even with page builder access/workspace admin access I am not able to see the new UX option in menu Is there anything i am missing?
Dynamically Updated Whaterfall Chart for general lists
The issue is related to the ALM functionality. Currently, if you set-up a Waterfall chart, based on production list, it can be transferred into production model incorrectly. That is because waterfall chart shows list items based on their "internal" code (from Anaplan words), meaning that if in prod some items will be with…
Dynamic Cell Access and Copy Branch
Copy branch is widely used functionality with multiple use cases. We can copy a whole nested hierarchy with just a single click. Currently there is limited way to control what exactly will be copied... By default it just copies everything. Can we control that? We can remove write access on a module level and it is working…
Number of future years - From 0 to 1
Hi Community. I would like to explore the possibility of extending one of our models that currently has a 0 future periods. So far we created a new model each fiscal year, but now I am considering extending the future years. Besides the space and hard codded line items formulas what would be the other constraints?
Roles->Dashboards access
Currently we have the ability to tag a role to modules, versions, lists & Actions in Anaplan. But do we have the ability to tag a dashboard? Practical challenge: I have huge number of models. And these modules are referred in 5 dashboards. So, I have blindly given access to all the modules, list, actions for all the roles…
Move User's Model Access into a separate boolean
It would be very helpful to have user role and user access to a model to be separately managed values. In some instances, we use ALM to move a big group of changes into our production model so we will remove access for non-admin users and reinstate them later. Instead of changing each of our 700 users roles to "No Access"…
Alphabetize a selection of Actions in the Actions List (Modules, dashboards too!)
I'd like to be able to select a bunch of actions in a list, and alphabetize just those actions. Currently you can alphabetize the list of actions but it only does the entire list. Our model has many actions (just shy of 2 thousand)...some of these are specifically grouped together by function, or by dashboard they're on…
Script Update Current Date
Hello, I've read through the boards, and unless a topic is well hidden, I have been unable to solve what should be a simple solution. I have two issues: A) I am unable to write ("copy") a script from previous posts to update the Current Date line item in my Current Date Module. I created a process on my computer to update…
Change display language
Anyone knows how to change anaplan display languae? Some contents（Date and month in time setting page）on my Anaplan were dispalyed in Chinese as below.I would be grateful if any one could tell me how to change it English. Thanks a lot
How do I sum across dimensions other than time?
Hello, Can't see how this was done in the allocations video. I have a list for products, and a line item for sales. I want to introduce a line item that returns the total sales for all products against every product. Beyond allocation use, is there a way to introduce a line item that returns the value at the next level up…
Cannot see "New UX" button on the application menu
When I click on top left blue button, I do not see the "New UX" button. I'm workspace admin to the model. What am I missing here to get access to new UX? Thank you.
How to hide Modules and its views under Contents section
Hi, Could you please suggest, How to hide Modules and its views on contents section (without using Contents- Role module/user access options). Attached the screen shot of the same. Thanks Usha
Filtering by Workspace in Tenant Admin Assignments.
In Tenant Admin Assignments, search feature only provides filtering by First Name, Last Name, Role and Email. In actual operation, it may be convenient to add Workspace to the Filter condition as it may be managed separately for each Workspace to which Users belongs.
Improve Tenant Admin Access Error Message
When attempting to login to Tenant Administration: if you do not have Tenant Admin access, there is a generic 404 error message that states "Sorry this page is not available - 404" It would be helpful to instead state: "You do not have Tenant Administrator privileges, please contact your Tenant Admin or…
How to Export a Dashboard to PDF?
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way in Anaplan to block the export in PDF and Excel of Dashboards and modules? The client have asked to limit that for confidentiality (e.g. for salary), I know the users will be able to copy and paste the data in Excel and so on, but theoretically we would need to block the direct…
Can I select a Parent within the same list and also another list?
I want to be able to select the parent from the same list and also another list, is there a way to do this? I am creating a Chart of Account, so there are certain account in the same list that I want to group it under. Example. 1000 -- General Stuff 1001 -- General admin stuff 1002 -- General Sales stuff In this situation,…
Data Storage in Anaplan
Hi Team, Did Anaplan store data in any of its server for a long term.. I knew the fact that the file we have uploading will be removed in 48 hrs. But other than that, do we have any backup storage? Regards, Devika Venugopal
cell security change for model builder
Hi All, The cell security is a great feature, but I find it a bit confusing that as a model builder you are able to upload data where a normal contributor is not able to upload data. This makes it more difficult to test solutions, because the model will behave differently if you are a model builder versus when you are a…
Ability to View who or how many people are viewing a Dashboard - for Full Access Users
It would be very helpful for a COE team or any Full Access User of a Model to be able to see of the people that have access to the model: 1. Who is viewing a dashboard and or module 2. If not who is viewing but how many people are viewing 3. when these people are viewing dashboards example (John Doe, Jan 4th 2019). a Log…
tenant workspace view improvement
In the Workspace overview in the tenant administration you can only see the total Workspace size. It would be great if we could see additional metrics in here, like Current Usage, Max Usage and perhaps as well the usage per month. Now it is a quite intensive process in order to have an overview of the usage per Workspace…
