Context Selector Expand and Collapse: Set Children Default: Opened or Closed
Background: The first click of a context selector on a NUX board the entire hierarchy opens out all levels right down to the lowest level. This means the user (all users, but focused on business/end users, executive-level) has to manually collapse each level they are not interested in seeing to navigate to the area they…
Show Line Item Format in New Model Building Experience
The new model building experience is far better than the classic and needing to click into every module if syntax is unknown. A big incremental enhancement would be to add some sort of icon or naming to show you the Line Item type. Adding this naming would allow the builder to better understand what they are referencing…
Configurable default selection for context selector
I recently had a question from a client who asked if it was possible to set a default list member (or the top level of a list, eg. all products) as the default for the context selector at the top of a page. They wanted to be able to select a particular layer, list member or top level of a list and always have it revert…
New UX Idea - Apply one more model source to all pages of the app at once
One of our model a dev and multiple prod models linked to a single dev via ALM. We have developed New UX App based on dev with a lot of pages in it. My aim now is to apply all prod models we have to this app, but the existing procedure is not effective for this idea. I want to have ability to add new source to the excising…
Training & certification for non-model builder
Hi, I would like to ask the training and certification available for non-model builders. I would like to learn about Anaplan from user end trouble shoot purpose and guide on UAT, deployment and Dashboard creation but not directly involved in model building.
Open source module link in NUX
Suggest to add the "Open Source module" ability to the NUX, incl. the current analysis options available in the old UX. Right now our users can use the open source module function in the old UX whenever they want to dig into the details, see all the underlying formulas/comments, and do ad hoc analysis. Especially, the…
getting the error: "Dimension of mapping used for lookup doesn't match any dimension of the result"
I am doing level 1 model building(Activity-9.2.5 Activity: Add Formulas to Price Growth Rates Staging Module) When i try to enter the formula for the lineitem 'Unit Price %' i get the following error- "Dimension of mapping used for lookup doesn't match any dimension of the result" . My Formula- 'REV04 Price Growth…
Drill to Transaction Functionality in the New UX
Drill to Transaction Functionality is considered critical for some partners/clients as it's functionality that has no alternate solution. I have heard specifically from FP&A implementations regarding allocations, as well as ICM use cases, but would love anyone giving kudos to leave comments with additional examples of it's…
Module Information Visibility Restricted for Non‑Admin Users on Anaplan page
Why are non‑admin users unable to view Module information on the Anaplan page, while workspace administrators can? (After click the three dots on the grids right up corner) Are there any configuration options that allow non‑admin users to view module details without granting full workspace administrator access?

Author: Jonathan Cushing is a Certified Master Anaplanner and Senior Consultant at Vuealta Consulting. As a Chartered Accountant and someone who has experience in both in-house consulting roles for housebuilding and construction companies, I was excited by the release of Combined Grids in Anaplan.

Subset Update on Selective Access Enabled list - Workaround Suggestions?
Hi All, I'm Currently Optimising some of our Cell-Count Intensive Reporting Modules, I've an almost working solution except for this limitation I'm facing. We've around 5-6 Reporting modules in our model which is Dimensioned by Levels of Promo Hierarchy X Users, promo Customer Hierarchy X users. Since the promo customer…
New UX : Source model selector unsable from page to page
Hi Sorry for the repost if somebody already realized this issue. A client implemented to new ALM feature for the standard UX. She realized that the selector can randomely switch form one source to the other while switching the page. Of course it's very dangerous. She is performing some UAT on the DEV and suddently she…
Ability for Board or Worksheet to listen to multiple workspace models
This gives ability for users to look at data sets coming from different workspace models on the same page. For e.g. financials from multiple subsidiaries of a company (being different workspace models) could be viewed by Corp of the parent company on one single page in an app.
Reorder line items functionality for end users
Ability for the front-end users to reorder the line items in a grid in worksheet view. Currently the functionality is availability for model builders only.
Need Set Global Default Format Grid function in New UX
My users want to make it possible to set Format Grid - Small for all grids in the New UX. This function exists in Classic UX to set all dashboards to Striped, Ruled, etc. We would like to have this opportunity to set all grids of one App in New UX to one style, e.g. Small which will improve screen space utilization.
Ability to apply Row and Column header configuration on all grids across a page
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: Currently, each individual grid on a UI/UX page needs to be edited as follows to change the Background color of the row headers and…

Combined Grids and multi-module reporting We are excited to announce the much anticipated enhancement to the Anaplan User Experience (UX): Combined Grids. This powerful new feature and platform capability will address one of the most common…
Conditional Formatting on Booleans
As a model Builder I would like to use Booleans as a Basis for Conditional formatting. For example. I have a Boolean/ Checkbox which indicates that not all fields in a new Item/ setting has been filled. I would like to be able to use that boolean directly instead of reverting to a number. The advantage would be to save on…
Session Timeout Warning
When the token request is near expiry, the user currently has no awareness of the impending disruptive page refresh. If there were to be a way of sending a notice to the user, preferably on the current page they are operating in, then they would be able to take recommended action to prompt recognition of activity in the…

Total positions for nested dimensions
Please add option to change Total positions order on rows/columns when nested dimensions are applied. Currently it can only be applied towards single dimension. When adding at lease two dimension, order becomes "Before" by default and the following error is returned when trying: "Cannot group totals on a nested axisSetting…
External links as option for clickable Images
I've had a handful of requests to give end users an clickable external link where they can go to submit help desk tickets, contact their company support systems (things like JIRA, Sharepoint sites etc.). What I've found is Image cards only allow for linking other Anaplan App Pages, but not external links. (Please correct…
New UX - add option to select between "and" and "or" when filtering
As an Anaplan User I would like to filter with "or" option also, right now only "and" is available. It's critical for text and number formatted line items. In Classic view there is an option to select "All" or "Any" when filtering: Thank you
Avoiding Unnecessary Hierarchies in Anaplan: Escaping the “Top Level” Trap
In multiple Anaplan implementations across FP&A, S&OP, and operational planning use cases, a recurring design challenge is the overuse of hierarchical lists with Top Levels, especially on large transactional or operational lists. In many projects, hierarchies are introduced early with the intention of providing “future…
End User unable to run action to update a subset
Hi All Have a super-user who is Full Access as model role but not a Workspace Admin and so therefore should be able to run updates to list subsets. Is there something in the depths of Anapedia that says that this isn't possible? I'm almost sure that we're doing this elsewhere in other models. Thanks Andrew
Adding Subcategories for App Categories
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds: It would be helpful to be able to create subcategories within an App in addition to the categories we are already able to create. The…
Improve filter icon visibility in NUX grids (color contrast issue)/ change filter icon color
I would like to raise a UX improvement request regarding filter icon visibility in NUX grids. Currently, when a column or row is filtered, Anaplan displays a blue filter icon in the grid header. The issue appears when the header background is also blue (or a similar color) — in such cases, the filter icon becomes almost…
Time Period Formatted line items dependency on Time Range
Currently dropdown for time period formatted line items shows all time periods for Model Calendar. There should be an option to make them dependent on Time range applicable to that particular Module/Line Item. For Example: If Model has 5 years, a Month formatted line item will show all 60 months in dropdown even if that…
New UX: Filters in Saved View getting overridden by selection made in Context Selector
Observed an interesting anomaly in the New UX. I have a Time Range for 4 years which I've used as a dimension in Module M. I have displayed this Time Range as a Page Selector and applied a filter to show only 1 year and saved this in a Saved View SV. Now, when I publish this SV in Classic UX, no matter what year is…
