Do not block other models when importing another model on the same workspace
As a model builder and workspace admin, I need to be able to continue to use my other models while another model is currently being added by importing. This is required because currently, when we Import a model (from another workspace), this operation will block / freeze all other model in the target models while the…
Archiving Multiple Models at once in a Workspace
Hi Team, As part of Administrator activities, we cleanup old/test models in our workspaces to restore the space available. As of now, we can archive only one model at once. This would be a tedious job when we have to archive old training models. Is there a way that Anaplan can provide an option at least for Tenant Admins…
Ability to see model mode change and deletion/creation as a Tenant auditor
As a tenant auditor it would be useful to be able to track some additional model events such as changes in model mode or when a model was created/deleted. One such scenario is if a model is accidently deleted, a tenant auditor would be able to see when and who deleted said model without relying on Anaplan support. Another…
Configuration & Release Management System
The Situation I currently help manage a set of models ranging from Dev, Test, & Production. Our Production model is live with close to 700 users. We release changes into production on a 2 week cadence but there are times where a fix must be pushed live immediately patching. Some new features may take longer to develop 2…
Simplifying User Access Management in Anaplan with the SCIM API
Introduction: In today's fast-paced business environment, effective identity management and governance play a crucial role in maintaining data security and ensuring smooth operations. Anaplan, a leading cloud-based planning platform, offers a powerful SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) API that integrates…
Manage / enable sso authentication at workspace level
As a tenant administrator or user admin i need to be able to manage users authentication mode (sso or exception users) at workspace level instead of model level. Currently this is managed at the model level with 2 consequences : - inconsistency and session crash : if a user is sso enabled on one workspace and sso disabled…
How is a typical environment setup in Anaplan for SDLC?
I am interested to understand how a typical environment for Software Dev lifecycle needs to be setup in Anaplan? Do we have different workspaces for Dev, Test and Production or is that carried out in a single workspace with models for dev, test and prod. What are the pros and cons for either approaches?
Multiple Model Builders
Hello, We are at a point with some of our models where we would like to train up new model builders to take over the ongoing maintenance and tweaks to a given model. We are debating the wisdom and practicality of allowing multiple users to have model builder access to a single model. Currently I can argue both sides of the…
Moving Production Model to new workspace
We currently have ALM set up between our DEV -> QA and DEV -> PROD models in our workspace. We have 1 DEV and 2 PROD with the same DEV model. So now the Production workspace is almost full, so we are planning to move one of the PROD model into a new workspace. Please confirm if we will still be able to sync any changes…
Application Lifecycle Management for the User Experience
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) enables your governance, development, and maintenance of Anaplan use cases. You can now work with ALM features in Anaplan’s User Experience (UX) to manage the lifecycle of your pages alongside that of your models. With the UX, you now build pages inside apps. Apps contain all the…
Enable MFA for secure login to Anaplan
Hi I would strongly like Anaplan to enable us to require MFA for login to Anaplan. Currently we have Anaplan integrated with Azure for SSO logins for internal staff but for external users it is username and password only which is a real worry. As we all know MFA is an absolute must and we would really appreciate this being…
Module Lines System Generated 'Created by' and 'Modified by' Detail
All module lines should include system generated "Created By" and "Modified By" detail for audit trail, compliance, and support reference. It is not always clear as to whom created or modified a line in a module. If a consultant or contractor is making changes to lines, the only way to find that detail is by combing…
Building a Model Steps
I've missed the order of steps for building a model twice. Since this is the only question that I missed can somebody please help me understand which steps I have out of place? Step 1. Build centralized dimensions in the model (time, version, lists) Step 2. Build Modules in the model Step 3. Build centralized Import data…
Any way to export which NUX Pages a Role has access to?
We are trying to get a list of all roles + the pages they have access to in the NUX for a single model. If I go to the 'Manage Access' page for the app in the NUX, I can see each page/category + the roles that have access to it. Is there any way to export this table? I thought about just manually copy/pasting it out but…
Block ALM
Hi Team There are instances where we do not want the production model to be updated using ALM. This is required when we have any model developers working on the same model, and don't want any of them to accidentally move changes to PRO. With this option we are better prepared for risks that may occur for data loss or…
Cloudworks integration user role
As a tenant admin, i would like to allow users to run cloudworks integrations and processes that have been prepared by integration admins. This is required as currently only the integration admin can access and run cloudworks processes and if granted to non admin users, they could destroy existing production setups. I will…
Save incomplete changes when synchronizing in ALM
Imagine this scenario: You are in the middle of making changes in your development model and have been doing so for the last few weeks. The changes are not complete and are not ready to synchronize. However, you just received a request for an urgent fix from the user community that is critical for the forthcoming monthly…
Please allow the office add-in to authenticate through VPNs and Proxies with out the need to white l
Brief description of the idea As a user of the Anaplan office add-ins, I often need to connect to the internet via a proxy or VPN. Due to IT/security policies, I am unable to white list. This prevents me from using the office add-ins from certain locations. Expected benefit/impact The benefit of this enhancement would be…
Model impersistence across pages in the application
Our case: We are separating clients data into different models and manage access via those models administration We have a single application that points to those models and allows users who have access to switch between them (assuming that they would switch between clients data sets) When user switches pages of the…
User Access Between Schedules and Snapshots
I have a user who has access to schedules but doesn't seem to have access to the corresponding Snapshots. A few things I have tried so far, are: 1.) Confirm their role and that they have access to the schedules 2.) Used my account as a test account to recreate the issue. When I tried to recreate the issue, I was able to…
CA Certificates for Service ID (Password less Connectivity)
Do we have a list of CA Certificates that are mostly used to implement password less integration with Anaplan and if anyone has an estimate of pricing & validity of those certificates? Our client is looking for the feasible options while choosing the Certificate Provider - So a consolidated list will actually help the ask.…
Delete from list using selection action shouldn't ignore selective access for workspace admin
Description of the enhancement: Do not allow workspace admins to run delete from list using selection process in sections of a list they haven't got selective access to. An example of the enhancement: User A ticks delete Boolean in the section he/she has access to, but decides thoughtfully not to run delete from list using…
Initial User Welcome Email Formatting
Anaplan recently updated the formatting of their welcome email when a Workspace admin adds a user for the first time within Anaplan. The email title is "Active your Anaplan Account". We only allow users to login via SSO in our organization, however, clicking on "Active your Anaplan account" from within the email prompts a…
More descriptive history entries for Blank Model Changes
Model history can contain entries saying "Blank Model Change", which can occur for example when changing the SSO access of a user. These could be more informative so we can understand what the change was. Another example - if you are setting a users access, it is usual to copy another users access by selecting an entire…
Internal access (Full access) for Cloudworks to work on Selective access in Admin Portal
Hi Team, At present for the cloudworks actions to read the lists with selective access, 'internal (full) access' must be enabled within the list, which is quite tough to do in a live production model without disturbing the user's access. It would be ideal and intuitive if the access was controlled externally either through…
Service Account Password Expiration Exception
It would be helpful to have the ability to grant a service account an exception from an expiring password in Anaplan. For integration if the client doesn't want to get into certificates.
License Management
Hi, Currently we have no clear picture of how different users are counted to Anaplan subscription. I would like to have a page in Administration that would show, which users are considered Builders / Professionals / Readers by Anaplan and are going to be charged. Ideally I would like to specify user type myself, so that…
Modelling using users properties
As a model builder, i d like to be able to model aroynd users properties that are found in "users" panel in order to bring new functionalities to functional admin users, granting them in dedicated modules or actions within a model the following - ability to check users selective accesses rights (read / write permissions)…
The New UX should have ALM capabilities for managing changes like the old UX
Hi Anaplan, The New UX currently lacks ALM capability like the old UX does. The benefit of this would be managing updates to apps as you currenly can in the old UX. It would great if the New UX had ALM capabilities like the old UX. Thanks, Usman
More Detailed Filters on Anaplan Model History
Currently, History page only allows us to filter based on date range. I think the search functionalities should be expanded further. It should be categorized at least as metadata (structural) and data changes. This will enable us to review model structural changes apart from comparing revision tags. For example, after…
