Importing data directly from another Anaplan module
When a user is attempting to import data directly from another Anaplan module, they need to be able to use an identifier (code or link vs. the display name of the field) to ‘connect’ the records.

Anaplan Google Sheets Plug-in

File/Data Encryption During Export using Informatica
Need guidance around how to encrypt data for an Anaplan export using IICS (Informatica).
