Stop duplicating modules: Meet Combined Grids
Author: Vijay Pasumarthy is a Certified Master Anaplanner and Sr. Principal Consultant at Genpact. If you had two modules with a common dimension and wanted to show information from both on the same page, your options were limited: Build a new “combo” module and recreate all the line items or Drop two grid cards side by…
Heatmaps in Spoke Model
In the current Anaplan UX, there is no native heatmap visualization option within pages built on spoke models. Users must rely on conditional formatting in grids, which: Is limited in visual flexibility Is not intuitive for business users Does not scale well across multiple dimensions Requires manual setup in each module…
Session Timeout Warning
When the token request is near expiry, the user currently has no awareness of the impending disruptive page refresh. If there were to be a way of sending a notice to the user, preferably on the current page they are operating in, then they would be able to take recommended action to prompt recognition of activity in the…

return the light blue color for the input data
Until recently, the input data in applications was blue. Now both the data entered and fixed by the formula are the same black color (or too dark blue??), which is absolutely inconvenient. I hope the color for the input data will be returned to a lighter blue or an alternative will be found, please.
Time hierarchy filter new ux when brought forward option is turned on?
Hello, Does anyone know any workaround or a solution to be able to enable the hierarchy filter in new ux when the brought forward option is selected in backend? I do not see the above hierarchy filter option if I enable the brought forward for a line item-
Avoiding Unnecessary Hierarchies in Anaplan: Escaping the “Top Level” Trap
In multiple Anaplan implementations across FP&A, S&OP, and operational planning use cases, a recurring design challenge is the overuse of hierarchical lists with Top Levels, especially on large transactional or operational lists. In many projects, hierarchies are introduced early with the intention of providing “future…
Selective Access on Flat List Subsets
Currently, selective access write permissions must be granted to a parent item for end users to modify an item's subset membership. In the case of a flat list, the items do not have a parent, which means users cannot modify the inclusion of these items in the subset. This has created challenges within my organization, as…
Additional Week Formatting Options
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: The "w/e" prefix is quite bothersome, especially when it appears on our graph axis labels. My business and executive users often…

Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: It would be helpful to be able to create subcategories within an App in addition to the categories we are already able to create.

Improve filter icon visibility in NUX grids (color contrast issue)/ change filter icon color
I would like to raise a UX improvement request regarding filter icon visibility in NUX grids. Currently, when a column or row is filtered, Anaplan displays a blue filter icon in the grid header. The issue appears when the header background is also blue (or a similar color) — in such cases, the filter icon becomes almost…

Introduction: Why Combined Grids matter With the October 2025 Anaplan release, one of the most impactful enhancements in the UX is the Combined Grids capability. Combined Grids allow page builders to bring together data from up to five…
Cloudworks Integration Flows in UX
At the moment, we are able to add Cloudworks Processes to the dashboards and the addition is great. Could we do the same with the Integration Flows? I see multiple benefits from this for several customers and I do not think that the implementation would be too different from what is currently in there. Is this currently in…
Enable Sort Functionality with Nested dimensions
Current Limitation: Anaplan restricts sorting functionality on line items or dimensions in columns when rows have nested dimensions. Sorting is only allowed when there is a single dimension in the row axis. Impact: Limits the usability of reports that require multiple dimensions in row axes. Reduces the value of recently…
Synchronize Relative Largest Axis of Grouped Charts
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: On an Anaplan New UX page, I would like to be able to group charts together. I would then like to be able to activate a setting that…
Filter a table based on extra dimensions not present in the module
Anaplan page building would be greatly benefited by the ability to set a filter on a module based on a line item that has additional dimensions - those dimensions would then be added to the page selector area, and the filtered table would respond to changes in page selection. For example, if I had data dimensioned by SKU…
Hover Over Charts
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: When presenting visualizations in Anaplan, users often try to hover over lines/bars/points in the chart with their cursor to point…
Dark / Light Mode for Model Building
Anaplan's rebrand / new UX design has just been released, and it’s blindingly white. Brighter than a supernova. Meanwhile, the brilliant idea of Dark Mode has been marked as "not planned." Under this new design, Dark Mode is needed now more than ever. Please reconsider before we all develop permanent squint lines.…

Default Show Scroll Bars
Description Currently, scroll bars in Anaplan UX grids and cards only appear when content exceeds the visible area and when you hover over a card and the scroll bars appear. While this behavior is standard, it can create usability challenges for end users, especially when: Users are unsure if additional data exists beyond…
Is there a way to turn off the Show Comments Summary panel in UX pages with Comments?
This shows all comments across all data to all users with access to the UX page. This is not appropriate for any UX which might contain security access sensitive data. Comments on grids and cards ARE security dependent. That works fine. But anyone with access to the page can open this Summary Panel and see ALL comments…
Boolean filters not showing up in Product Replenishment UX Page for L2 Sprint 3
I'm attaching the screenshots of the INV01 module and the Product Replenishment UX page. The boolean time filters are visible and working for the time filter modules in the UX page. But the boolean filters for INV01 modules (like Submit Purchase Order Request?) isn't showing up in the UX page. Please share your suggestions.
Conditional formatting for multiple line items
We should be able to apply conditional on multiple line items at once. This will save page builders time in applying conditional formatting on multiples line items.

In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: Current options for Network charts are limited - no resizing (only zoom in/out) is allowed, background is always white, and you can't…
