Reduce blocking on development models
Description of the enhancement required: Currently we have to wait until all changes are finished and thus big developments are blocking some minor tweaks which cannot be imported.

Additional Audit Reports for History Logs
We would like two separate audit reports at workspace level, one for Admin changes and one for data changes: 1) Audit report for admin changes will capture all config changes and users should have ability to filter the object they are searching for (for example: filter on Models, Modules, Lists, Dashboards etc). 2) Audit…
[ALM] Error dialog should be more specific

This is not recorded in the core logs - it would be good to log in the core logs that…
Easier UX for setting up role to dashboard access
Right now, an admin has to set access to every module on a dashboard in order for the user to have access to the dashboard. We should have a UI for an admin to say they want to set access to a dashboard, and then for the system to alert them of all the things on that dashboard that the user needs or could possibly have…
Ability to automate archival of models
Currently this is not an option in Anaplan Connect, and I've tried to post a JSON request to do this, but I get "Method Not Allowed". Use case: We need to take a snapshot of our Production model every week & Month end. Those snapshots are then used for reviews as well as to pull in some of the lists into our Anaplan…

Large Comparison Report
I recently did a model promotion and downloaded the comparison report. The comparison report ended up being over 1GB in size - prior to this, the largest I've seen is 748KB (we save all our comparison reports for audit purposes). We did not have an exceptionally large number of changes go in this time (there were 1079…

Access to archived models
It looks like archived models are not accessible to an new administrator if the specific administrator user login did not exist in the system when the model was archived. I can see that we have 77 odd models in various states through the tenent administration module. However as an administrator I can only access 40 of…

Added to Workspace
I recently received an email that I had been "added to a workspace," what does that mean? What is a workspace? How does it work? Who added me? What is this all about?
Re: Release Management
Hi Andrew, Our Anaplan FP7A project went live recently and we are using ALM for change management. Below are some pointers which might help: 1) Restrict workspace admin assess to very few (1 each for each function) 2) Users need to submit story for any new enhancement or change 3) Have bi-weekly release cycle 4) Follow…
