Ability to Post Images Behind Firewall
Just curious if the Anaplan "images" card has the ability to post images behind a firewall? Or do all images within Anaplan interfaces need to be publicly available? I saw in a thread someone mentioned an "internal server", but what I'm not clear on is how to configure that, or if the "images" feature has any way to…

Author: Aaron Overfors is a Certified Master Anaplanner and Principal Architect at Spaulding Ridge. A strong user experience is the key to almost every Anaplan solution’s success.

Selection of multiple option from list on UX pages
Hello Anaplaner, Please find the attached Excel sheet along with the use case description below. We have a use case where the end user requires a selection option on the UX page from a list (Product & Company). As you may be aware, there is currently no option available on the UX page to select multiple list members from a…
Page Settings: background color
Can we have option of changing background color of the page like dark theme, light theme?
Enable Sorting by Columns or Rows in UX Worksheets and Boards
Description: Currently, Anaplan UX allows limited sorting capabilities, primarily focused on rows in grid views. However, users often need to sort data by columns or rows, depending on the layout and analysis requirements. This limitation affects usability in both Board and Worksheet pages, especially when working with…
Enable Right-Click Functionality on Any Cell Within a Row to Add/Delete List Members in Worksheets
Description: Currently, the ability to add or delete list members in Anaplan UX worksheets is limited to specific interactions, often requiring users to click on the row header or use action buttons. This can be unintuitive, especially when working with hierarchical lists or when users are focused on cell-level data entry.…
Ability to Default Close the Additional Insight Panel in Worksheet
Description: Currently, the Additional Insight panel in Anaplan worksheets is set to open if there are cards in the additional insight pane. Proposed Enhancement: Introduce a setting or toggle that allows page builders to default the Additional Insight panel as closed for a worksheet. This could be implemented as: A toggle…
Enable Native Reporting from Model History Logs
Description: Currently, model history in Anaplan is only accessible via manual export and review, which limits its usability for ongoing audit, compliance, and operational reporting. Users must download the history file and process it externally to gain insights into model changes, user activity, and data updates.…
Enable Case-Insensitive Filtering in UX Pages
Description: Currently, filters applied in Anaplan UX pages are case-sensitive, which can lead to inconsistent behavior and confusion for end users. For example, filtering for "North" will not match "north" or "NORTH", even if they refer to the same logical value. Proposed Enhancement: Introduce an option to make…
Enable Moving or Copying MyPages Between Models
Description: Currently, MyPages are tied to a specific model, and there is no native functionality to move or copy them to another model. This limitation creates friction for users who: Build personal pages in a development or sandbox model and want to migrate them to production. Need to replicate similar MyPages across…
Ability to perform "Insert Multiple Items" function on Board Pages
Today, you can add more than one list member on a worksheet via a "right-click" > Insert multiple items. However, you cannot do this same action on a board without creating an Import action that temporarily locks up the model. This impacts model builders and architects when designing UX pages and all end users needing to…

History Pull Inconsistent Record
I pulled the history log for a specific time period and filtered it by module, line item, and list items. I'm trying to understand how to interpret this history: Row 1: Previous value was 0.5 → changed to 1 Row 2: Previous value was 1 → changed to 3 Row 3: Previous value was 0.5 → changed to 3 Row 4: Previous value was 3 →…

Quick Sum only providing the sum of the previous selection (App UX Grid)
Noticed an issue with the Quick Sum on a grid in the App UX where the quick sum seems to be showing me the previous selection in the quick sum field. Example: Dec 2025 <> Jan 2026 $100 <> $25 $100 <> $50 I select the 2 rows in Dec 2025 and will not get a total. then select the 2 rows in Jan 2026 and the Sum shows $200 (Dec…
size of the dropdown in filtering screen
My suggestion: ability to increase or automatically increase the size of the dropdown in filtering – see screenshot. In current UX, due to the many levels of hierarchy on our SKU level, the dropdown is too small to immediately show (even only a single) SKU. Currently our users each time need to use the scroll bars. Same…
Synchronized Scroll on Worksheet with an Expanded Grid Card
It would be incredibly helpful to have the ability to group the main worksheet grid with an expanded card for synchronized horizontal scrolling. Use Case: In my worksheet, I have the Time dimension on columns and a list on rows in the main grid. I also use an expanded grid card to show a different breakdown—still by Time,…

I have published a grid in NUX with images visible for each of the items by using URL. Now, there is ask in which users would like to export the grid In Excel with images visible. Is there a way to export the grid with the images visible in Excel?
Conditional Formatting in Org Charts
Hi, Can anyone help in understanding what does the 'line item' selection does in Conditional formatting for Org Charts? Right now, this seems to be doing nothing. We have a requirement where we want to change the color of the node based on a line item value. I have been wondering if there was any way to do this? Any help…

Management reporting commentary boxes - size by version
In management reporting is it possible to link commentary boxes to versions? e.g. Version A may have lots of commentary about revenue and very little on COGS, Version B has little on Rev and lots on COGS - this will make our report spacing look awkward.
Mmt Reporting - defining card position
In management reporting can we define the position of cards e.g. option to enter x mm from top left / top right, similar to PPT positioning?
Mmt Reporting - notes commentary boxes
In management reporting it would be really useful for end users to have the ability to make notes for presentation - similar to the notes function at the bottom of PPT slides that allows users to add a commentary that doesn't appear in the presentation/pdf version.
Ability to set card widths with more precision than just the 12 pre-set columns
Hi, It would be great to have the ability to adjust card width/height with more precision instead of limiting the widths to the 12 pre-set bars: Without this feature it can be difficult to have pages look neat and organized while also displaying all the information that our users require.
Mmt reporting - greater formatting variety for text boxes
Highlighting, bolding, underlining text, adding text commentary & re-ordering pages without entering edit mode. MR Contributors can apply formatting to the page, but without it being a page edit - this would allow users to replicate standard mgmt. report deck production (highlighting/bolding etc. of key points). This would…
