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…

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.

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…

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.

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…
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 - 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…

Filtering non-numeric line items
Hello, I have read the below articles on how to filter line items using a Line Item Subset. This currently works great for my use case, except I also need to filter and include non-numeric line items like booleans. The below article runs into the limitation of only being able to filter numeric line items via Line Item…
Line Item Subset Formatting
This post is a bit of getting ideas to work around but also see if people are experiencing similar issues. I think it would be a good idea if Line Item Subsets could inherit the formatting and time settings from the source modules that they come from. In the situation where you had a KPI which was a %, a number and a…
Multi Selection
I would like to ask for a new functionality within Anaplan that could really ease our work with Anaplan. And that is multi selection. I see two ways how to apply multi selection, both very helpful: 1. Multi selection for context selector. Once the dimension is displayed as "Context/Page Selector", it would be great to have…
Daily Date Format
Hi, I have a module with a time range as a dimension. I've set it with a daily time scale, but Anaplan's way of showing daily dates is for example "1 Jan 37" and I need it to be in numbers because when I export it excel doesn't recognize it as the date format that I've set in Windows (OS) (when a date as two digits it's…

Boolean filters not showing up in Product Replenishment UX Page for L2 Sprint 3
I'm attaching the screenshots of the INV01 module and the Product Replenishment UX page. The boolean time filters are visible and working for the time filter modules in the UX page. But the boolean filters for INV01 modules (like Submit Purchase Order Request?) isn't showing up in the UX page. Please share your suggestions.
