Set default file to everyone
Would be really handy if Anaplan did either one of the following actions for import data sources: * Set the default file type as everyone or; * Permanently saves files regardless of default file type selected. This would really assist in debugging and remapping import files.

Outlook connector for Anaplan to sync schedules for meeting invites and activities from workflow
Hi Anaplan, I believe a great development for the platform would be to have a native connector that links to Outlook or other schedule planning applications. This would allow users to sync their meeting and calendar invites and also sync workflow messages and requests directly with Outlook. This would mean in the most used…

As a member of Anaplan Center of Excellence and user of Anaplan Integration API, I need to get more information about models. In old version of API (1.3), we could get more information about models than in newer one (2.0). The missing (and really useful) data are: -'isoCreationDate' -'lastModified'…

Ability to automate export of blueprint view for module through API/Anaplan Connect
It would be very useful to have the ability to automate the export of a blueprint view of a module through Anaplan Connect or the Anaplan API - in this way we could compare an export of a blueprint view of a module automatically, to check if the structure of a model had changed over time. I have been working with a client…

Upload - Non Mapped Source Items Identification
Hi team, Is there a way to identify Source Items in a list that have not been mapped to an item in the target for a Upload to a module in Grid Mode? I am aware you can manually identify the non-mapped items by scanning the Mapping tab but this seems inefficient and error prone (especially with large data sets). When you…

Manage Import Data Sources - Timing
Hi team, How long does Anaplan retain a file that has been uploaded to the 'Manage Import Data Sources' item in the Action Settings? It seems to retain the data for a certain length of time and then if you attempt to edit the Action to which the uploaded data is associated with you will receive the attached error Thanks…

Free S/MIME certificates to authenticate and use Python with Anaplan
Hi, I want to use Python with Anaplan. To do this we need to authenticate with either certificate or basic encoded authentication. I don't really want to use the latter as it's not as secure as Certificate authentication. I can see I need a S/MIME certificate to authenticate with Anaplan's API. Does anyone know of any free…

Display Action Notes on the Pop-Up Message, before a Process/Action is Run
In the Actions menu, all processes and actions has a text based "Notes" section. Being very upfront, I honestly didn't even know this section existed until about a few months ago, but I definitely think it can be further leveraged. It would be great if these notes could appear every time, next to your action, before you…

Data fields are offset when retrieving data in Chunks via API

The issue is the column structure in the first and last record of each chunk isn't consistent. For example, in the attached image, the first chunk ended on the first row mid-way through the…

Prompt for Import Data Source name and Import Action name
Something that would considerably help with building cleaner models would be if users could enter names for import data sources and import actions during the import dialogue. This would prompt model builders to assign a considered name, and substantially help to identify import data sources and import actions after the…

Define import name while creating import
When I am creating a new Import Action, I would find it beneficial to define the name of that Import when I am setting it up for the first time.

Allow process to continue after action failure

Perhaps allowing users to choose when creating the process whether or not they'd like the process to continue even if an action fails would be great. Just…

Improve time period imports for CSVs
The standard excel format for Month-Year is MMM-YY. I.e. if a user types Jan 20, excel will convert this to a numeric value and display Jan-20. Anaplan does not recognise this as a valid time period when importing. As this is the default excel format, it would be great if Anaplan could recongise this correctly. Rather than…
