ALM and create action
Hi In a normal non ALM model, I am able to have a button, a create action, on my dashboard. This adds an item to a list called Rate Range L2, which is a child of Rate Range L1. This allows me to let users create a new line so they can add date ranges. they have to manually add the start and end date in the module, but that…

Search Functionality in 'Manage Models' Window
With mature Anaplan workspaces, there are typically dozens of models that would have been created during Foundations, development or for sandbox uses. As the list of models grows, it becomes hard to scroll through the list to find a specific model. This difficulty is especially evident in partners' workspaces, where there…
Additional History Filtering in a model, plus history extraction/access
On the History tab, provide more data filtering options such as filtering by history action name. For example, my customer needs to filter only user-security related actions for detailed audit history beyond the level of detail provided thru Audit in Tenant Admin. Ideally we would like to have access to the history records…

If I don't mark a list as Production List, what will happen? Since I don't modify my list often.
As I read, if I mark a list as Production List. I can make changes to it, even in Deployed mode. What type of changes? Properties, Subsets, Code?

Does ALM synchronize Dev Data with Production Data and vice-versa? Even though they are in different environment? Please respond friends, as I am new to this.
Production List
Please tell me friends, if I mark a list as a Production List, then will it be visible to end-user? And how can the end-user update that list? By clicking insert as we do from development? Or we have to create action button for this?

Compare before Add Revision Tag
We badly need an option to compare the current changes against the latest ALM Revision or any prior Revisions before creating a New Revision Tag (Add Revision Tag). Currently the Compare option let us compare the changes between any existing revision tags only and not against the current changes, yet to be check in/ yet to…
'Upload File Not Available' Errors / Default File Setting for Deployed Models
We have occasionally experienced failures in import actions (on deployed models) called via Anaplan Connect with the error ‘Upload file no longer available’. Our understanding is the default file should to be specified as ‘admin’ instead of ‘private’. This setting can’t be changed via API call, so we updated the mappings…

New UX : Make an App non editable / not deletable if non editable
Although essentially part of @usman.zia idea on https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/The-New-UX-should-have-ALM-capabilities-for-managing-changes/idi-p/50814 this is something very specific and just being able to lock-down an app so that if it's sitting on a TEST/PROD model then it can't be amended, maybe…
[ALM] Data refresh development model with data of the production model
In most of our models we are using ALM. With this we promote structural changes from development into test/production model. Sometimes our dev/test model has messed-up data, which causing we can't do proper testing. To avoid this we sometimes delete the dev/test model (after all changes has been synchronized to…

Display the Latest Revision Tag for a Model in the Manage Models Dialogue
When you have multiple versions of a development model it is not easy to see whether the model is up to date without either opening it or trying to run a Compare and Synchronise. It would be helpful to display the last revision tag of any deployed model on the Models dialogue so as to avoid this.
Ability to add .txt file to a Revision Tag
I think it would be beneficial to have the ability to upload attachments to a revision tag as supporting information for a development change. It would not need to be any more complicated than uploading a .txt file against each revision tag. Currently, we have the ability to add a title and description for each revision…

Revision Tag DB size question
We've been creating a structural model copy of the current dev model, but have noticed that the size of the copied model has not decreased in size once the new model has been created. This seems strange considering the new shell has no data in it. Is this normal?
