Workflow Feature Anaplan
Hi All, I was testing out the Workflow feature in Anaplan, could I get some help on how to use the machine task (data write feature) and hierarchy task? Do we have any documentations on how to use the different tasks in workflow. Is there a way we can show that a workflow or a task has been completed in the NUX? For…
Email notifications : Sending Email Actions without using mailbox
Request from Amgen Europe : Anaplan is currently not able to send email notifications based on a pre-set condition. e.g. whenever a price is submitted below a certain threshold. The idea would to have an action that sends email based on a threshold but without having to use your own mailbox
Email Notification works with workflow
It will be great if we can automate the email notification with the workflow status changed. Also so user can customise the default email content and users w
Automated Email Notifications
Would be great if Anaplan could implement a way for users to configure automatic emails based on user defined criteria. User can also control frequency of automated emails This should work exactly like Smartsheet's automatic email function (see attachment) Examples: 1. Alert me if any new items appear on my name fall under…
Bulk Copy Action for Production Lists
This idea relates to the Bulk Copy action enhancement released in a platform update earlier this month (Nov 6 2021 release). (Thank you by the way for that enhancement!) We would like the ability to execute the Bulk Copy action for Production Lists. (Currently, the action is limited to only non-Production Lists.) Bulk Copy…
Schedule automated Anaplan notifications
As a Page Builder/Integration Administrator, I'd like to be able to schedule Anaplan native UX notifications. This would allow me to send native (instead of email) notifications to a set of users (hard-coded or lineitem-driven) about a predefined page. I'd like to be able to have different scheduling options, each being at…
Ability to Add Data Write Action to Existing Process
1. It would be really a game changer if we are able to add Data Write Actions to the existing processes, It would not only scale up the usage of the Data Write Action but also would save a lot of time and effort and would save us from creating multiple saved views and actions. 2. Currently, Data Write actions can only…
Use KPI Cards to Hyperlink between Apps
Use KPI Cards to Hyperlink between Apps Provide the ability to enter a custom URL in a KPI Card that allows users to click on a KPI card and navigate to a separate Dashboard within a separate App or external website. Currently KPI cards can only link to Dashboards within the same App.…
Button
Hello Everyone, I have a question. The button below "Show Accounts without Category mapping" but as you see in the table "List of Accounts and Mapping", accounts are showing up that have category mapping. Does anyone know the possible reason for this and potential solutions on how this can be resolved?
MailTo Limits in Firefox vs. Chrome
We are using the MAILTO function to generate an email to a BCC-ed list of users of action required in the model. The list of BCC recipients is lengthy (>100 email addresses), and the MAILTO function appears to work in Firefox, but not Chrome (OS = Windows, email client = Outlook). Has anyone run into similar limits? Are…
Ability to record timestamp of input as a separate line item
It would be extremely helpful from an end-user and a workflow perspective to have the ability to capture the timestamp of a manual input as a separate line item, instead of having to look through model/cell history manually. That way you could easily see when the latest input was entered.
Schedules Mapped by Entity Name in Anaplan
In Anaplan, I have a schedule that needs to have the name of an entity name change to the English version. I was put on notice recently, that the schedule is being mapped by the entity name. Can anyone provide guidance on how I would be able to see in Anaplan exactly how that schedule is being mapped by entity name and…
Hello,
I have a module dimensioned by Accounts on the rows, Users on the columns, and 1 Boolean line item which allows users to select certain accounts that apply only for that user. I am trying to create an action that allows the user to clear all of their selection by simply clicking an action button, as opposed to have click…
Ability to combine processes across models in CloudWorks
The use case is to orchestrate a data integration workflow in one CloudWorks schedule containing steps executing model-to-model imports from many processes residing in various models, e.g. update DataHuab lists and modules, then update planning model lists and modules, then update reporting model lists and update.
Workflow triggers Import/Export
Having CloudWorks schedule imports between models is useful, but users still need to wait. Our users are participating in a workflow, data is ready to move from the source model when a workflow step is completed. Can we trigger imports or exports, or model-to-model imports from workflow?
Native scheduling action in Anaplan (w/o API. Connect or 3rd party integration tool)
Could Anaplan action iteself allowing for scheduling? (i.e. a common use case would be you have an action that brings data from Data Hub to Spoke models and data in Spoke models need to be refreshed everyday) - It would be super helpful to have this function built-in at the time the action/import is set up in Anaplan,…
When Adding A New Line Item - No Data Format
I would like to request that when a new line item is added into a module, rather than defaulting the format to Number as is standard, it defaults to "No Data". Immediate ROI: - Automatically won't toast the model if you write a formula without changing the format * In another post, someone asked what do you "always forget…
Model Archives : Automation & Tenant administration
Hello ! It would be great to have automatic quick-wins regarding Model Archive Management ! ALM & Archives : When we need to move a large number of developments (or time management switch) into production, we always try to do a "Copy & Archive" first. However, this task is manual and potentially error-prone. It would be…
Pop-up notification about upcoming timeout
Would be nice to have a notification about timeout due to long inactivity in both NUX and Classic. Good addition will be to have a button to be able to reset the timeout countdown. This way end users and model builders will be able to save there progress and won't have to re-open every tab/page they had on their screen.
Store Start Date and Time (UTC) for Actions/Process Indefinitely
Reviewing past models or model history (archived) for even our current live models the Start Date and Time (UTC) for Actions/Processes is not populated for anything that's been run more than ~1 month ago. This feels like a gap in how this field should function. Proposal: The Start Date and Time (UTC) for Actions/Processes…
Need Ability to Disallow NUX Toolbar Filtering, or Hide Toolbar Entirely in NUX
Similar to how we have ability to disallow native pivoting of a NUX grid by end-users, we need the same ability for native filtering via the toolbar. Prime example is that many of the would-be strong synchronized scrolling use-cases are negated by the fact that as soon as an end-user applies a native toolbar filter on one…
UX comments per each individual cell
Many of our clients would consider to use comments feature if they could publish them of each cell in a table. Use case: Any outliering value would always be questionable and would require additional investigation of route case including history check and any comments anywhere. Usually it takes a lot of time for RCA while…
Select page link arrow position or hide it (>)
Idea: As a page builder I'd like to be able to choose there to locate the arrow next to the page link or even disable it. Usage: Talking about linear workflow it's not always that you (as a user) want to go downstream of the workflow. And looking at some cards can be confusing especially to the ones who are new to the…
3 Improvements for Comments in the New UX
Hi, I'm missing 3 basic capabilities on the current comments' fucntionality to be able to use it for my clients: 1- Comments are not flagged to end user 2- Not recorded in full context (in all dimensions I'm looking at) 3-No option to publish or export from Anaplan This custom fucntionality I built allows me to overcome…
QUICKLY IDENTIFY FILTERS USED IN DASHBOARDS
This has consistently taken me way more time than required. As a solutions architect, i need a quick way to identify which filters are being used in the UX. I am currently in the process of cleaning up 100s of filters built in systems modules and it is taking me additional time (and windows) to reconcile which filters are…

NUX Context Aware Import Action
Could we make import actions (that are set up to select context each time an import is ran) context-aware to the UX page it is on? Just want to make that action "smarter" so that users aren't scrolling to select each context every time they want to do an import for that specific context only.
Re-order function for Quick Links (Worksheet Page)
Hi, It is undeniable that the quick links in the worksheet page are super handy for users to access to other pages without going back to the landing page or so. But it would be more wonderful if there is re-order ability or at least the ability to update new link under same name (now just able to Delete or Edit Name). For…
NewUX view Source Module
In the NewUX, you cannot go directly to the source module. When selected it takes you to your default dashboard page in the classic version. This is not helpful for users that aren't model builders with access to everything. This functionality and the Drill to Transaction is needed in order to make the NewUX functional for…
Save UX Export Definition as An Action
It would be great if we could save/automate dashboard exports from the UX in the same way that we can in the old dashboard experience. Right now, if we want to automate the sending of a dashboard export (a PDF), we need to do it as a saved view of a grid or build an old UX dashboard to export from. Right now, if I export a…
