ALM and History changes
I accidentally make an error and realize it instantly. So alter it back to the previous one. My history gets saved. Now I archive the model and later change it to standard one. Will Tenant Admin still be able to pull the history?
Add Filters for Data Import
I have Module A form where I want to import Data to Module B. I can't touch Module A, so I can't use Export function from Module A. As shown in the pictures, I want a filter Import of a particular country. I have worked on creating saved views and exporting but not sure whether same can be for Import as well. Any inputs…
Warning message before, not after Synchronisation [Lack of Space]
Hello everyone, I think it would be good to have some sort of warning message appearing before you decide to push Synchronise in the Compare/Sync windows. Many times (and not just myself, but my colleagues as well) when the synchronisation starts we need to wait for Anaplan to push all the required changes - or at least…
Archive selected modules in Anaplan
We needed to create a new hierarchy and **** the old one. We've been running two major modules alongside one another for a few months now. We want to archive the old hierarchy and all modules associated with it. Is there a way of archiving modules and lists but not the entire model itself? Thanks.
Selective push of line items through ALM
Hello fellow Anaplaners, I was wondering if it would be possible to selectively push line items/modules while synching models through ALM? The idea is - I would like to setup a master model and then migrate only the required functionalities/calculations to two different target models. With this setup, I will have to design…
Large Comparison Report Download Bug
I've found that sometimes comparison reports between two revision tags do not download because of a large number of changes. This occasionally happens even with sequential revision tags (so we can't subdivide and download as multiple reports). We need to be able to download any comparison report for audit purposes and this…
Unset as a Production List
Hi, I've developed a model and deployed it to PROD. I have found out that one of my lists is a "production list" because a user has changed the name of the items contains in the list. Therefore, I would like to remove it from the production lists. What will be the on my model deployed? When I unflag Production Data, I have…
New UX - How is version control of apps done?
Hi Is there a way we can version apps on New UX? And can we create DEV, TEST and PROD copies of New UX apps like we can do for models? Thanks Sarbajit Re: New UX Questions
Ability to modify Role Access on Modules / Lists / Actions on a deployed model without ALM
I'd like the option to be able to change a module's role access in our live production model, which uses ALM to sync changes from our development model. This would be the equivalent of selecting production data on a list. This option would help because I wouldn't have to push ALL changes (including those still in…
Query on ALM Synch
Hi, I wanted to understand if the ALM sync would work if the changes to the development model are made in another workspace under one customer and then moved to the production model workspace under a different customer? Context: * We took a copy of the production model (PROD 1.0) from the workspace A (Customer A) and moved…
Anaplan Architecture
Today I appeared for an interview, they asked me:- What is an Architecture of Anaplan? I wasn't able to reply. Someone please help me with this question.
ALM question
Hi All, I have a Dev model where I made various changes in the hierarchy (production data), re-shuffling lower levels and adding a couple of new ones. The data itself, however, stayed the same as I didn't delete anything. I need to transfer the changes to the Prod model now, and I want the data in Prod to be re-allocated…
OEG Best Practice: Model load, save, and rollback
Model load A large and complex model such as 10B cells can take up to 10 minutes to load the first time it is in use after a period of inactivity of 60 minutes. The only way to reduce the load time is by identifying what formula takes most of the time. This requires the Anaplan L3 support (ask for a Model Opening…
Migrating Module changes from Development to Production
I am new to the ALM process but it appears the main process is for migrating Models from Development to Production. We have several developers who will be in different stages of development within the model. So migrating the entire model is likely not going to work for us (after the initial syncing of the environments).…
Allow marking Line Items subsets as "Production data"
Currently line item subsets are structural data and the only way to make changes to them is in the dev model then syncing those changes to prod. I would like to be able to mark a line item subset as production data so I am able to add and remove line items to it in my production model.
Promote Revision Tag to Multiple Spoke Models at One Time
With the way our Anaplan environment is structured, it would be a huge time saver to promote revision tags to multiple spoke models at one time instead of having to update them individually. Anyone else share the same need?
Dynamically Updated Whaterfall Chart for general lists
The issue is related to the ALM functionality. Currently, if you set-up a Waterfall chart, based on production list, it can be transferred into production model incorrectly. That is because waterfall chart shows list items based on their "internal" code (from Anaplan words), meaning that if in prod some items will be with…
How do I sum across dimensions other than time?
Hello, Can't see how this was done in the allocations video. I have a list for products, and a line item for sales. I want to introduce a line item that returns the total sales for all products against every product. Beyond allocation use, is there a way to introduce a line item that returns the value at the next level up…
Help! My dashboard keep losing data/ syncing/ zeroing out!
My source module works, but for what ever reason this dashboard keep zeroing out. It will work fine in the beginning, but after I logged out or come back to it the next day. All the data will be gone and it will zero out even though the source module its fine. Has anyone encountered this before? Any ideas?
Can I select a Parent within the same list and also another list?
I want to be able to select the parent from the same list and also another list, is there a way to do this? I am creating a Chart of Account, so there are certain account in the same list that I want to group it under. Example. 1000 -- General Stuff 1001 -- General admin stuff 1002 -- General Sales stuff In this situation,…
Ability to compared any two ALM revisions and obtain comparison report
Description of the enhancement: Ability to see a comparison/change report between ANY two model revisions which the customer chooses. How this would help your business processes: This would be very helpful for peer reviews and in general to understand what changed and what the original values / formula were.
How can I return the current date in line item?
How can I return the current date in a line item i.e. automatically get Anaplan to show the current date in date format so that it updates each day? Tweakbox Tweakbox Tweakbox Many thanks, iosman
Two dimensions where not all cross joined combinations are needed
Hi i have a list of divisions and a list of products. The divisions are defined by customer type and not by product, so not all divisions sell all products, but there is a lot of overlap. We would want to be able to show sales by division, and also sales by product. The easy thing would be to have two unrelated lists, but…
Maintain Flat File Mapping in Copied Models & Model Mappings
When we move models from workspace to workspace, the Anaplan model to model connections remain intact, but all flat files need to be reuploaded and mapped. This causes a large amount of work per model that we move. Adding this feature would make the workspace governance process run much more smoothly.
Include Notes froma Actions in Imports view
Although this is not a critical request by any means, I believe that displaying the notes used on the Actions view in the Import view will help when ticking Imports as "production data", since we could have notes and more details about what each particular actions does. Please, check out the attached pictures for further…
ALM Revision tags - Add Synced By and Synced Date - SOX
In ALM, in Revision tags, both Dev and Production have Created By, and Created Date. It would be useful, in Production, to have Synced By, and Synced Date instead of Created. This would allow us to see who created the revision tag, and who moved it to Production. For SOX, we are ensuring that the person that did the…
Make revision tags downloadable and searchable
In ALM, we need the ability to download the revision tags. Revision tags should also be searchable.

Branch & Merge in ALM
Our company has a dilemma situation recently. We have a PROD model (deployed mode) and a DEV model (standard mode). We are adopting ALM as the best practice. Recently the DEV model is under construction, multiple tasks are being performed and untested, so we cannot synchronize DEV to PROD in a near future. However, an…
Enable creation of new Version for model in deployed status when using ALM
Provide possibility to create and remove new Version when using ALM in the models that are in Deployed mode. For the enterprise organizations with strict sagregation of duties, it is neccesarry to have possibility to do as described, either manually or using Anaplan Connect API to create/remove versions on scheduler and…
