Changing parent in numbered list
In this numbered list if we select Parent from the drop-down list the department(parent) of the selected employee will change and will be reflected in all the module that has referenced this List. How can I make an action to publish it on the dashboard where the user can change departments for the employee, should I create…
New Page Builder interface could use some work
Anyone else caught a bit off guard by the new page builder/app interface that was rolled out this morning? Seems a bit clunky. Everywhere you click on the page expands or collapses a section, except for the left-side quick access panel which can't be collapsed or expanded. It's also difficult to distinguish the section…
User wants to change the employee's department.

I want to make a UX page where the user can select the employee and change his department, therefore details of the employee such as salary will reflect in the new department. Please let me know how I can achieve this. Thanks in…
NUX Card Template Source Models
Hi, I posted the details to community here: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Anaplan-Platform/NUX-Card-Templates-Disappeared/m-p/135457#M35259 To summarize, I updated the source models to a new workspace and the card templates disappeared altogether. I learned that the templates are tied to the original model. It'd be…
New UX Source Model Dropdown Remembers Selection from Previous Page
I think it would help for adoption of using multiple source models on a single dashboard if the model selection was stored when moving from one page to the next if at all possible. Currently it stays on the last selected dropdown for that individual dashboard but this means if an end user is testing changes, they have to…
NUX - Text Card - Use Hyperlink Line Items as Dynamic Text Values
We are trying to put together a landing page where the user can see basic information about the purpose of the tool + and can have supporting links. With the new edits to the text cards, it is really nice to put together such page. I was trying to use dynamic text value functionality to use the text-hyperlink formatted…
UX - Link to Pages
Hi , I have created a page in 'Model X' and a page in 'Model Y' and I have to link the page from 'Model X' to the page in 'Model Y' so that I can redirect to it and have a look.

NEW UX: Link to pages in other apps within the same workspace
In Classic Anaplan, we have one big model within a workspace. We're considering building it again in the new UX and expect to break the big model into more functional apps. The trouble is some of these apps are not entirely siloed, i.e. users will need to move between pages within multiple apps. It would be really helpful…

An example of the enhancement: This page includes an array of logos, about 20% are in .svg format. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Logos_of_universities_and_colleges_in_Massachusetts…
Add 'Does Not Contain' as condition when performing a filter on a text formatted line item
Many of our users would find it helpful if when filtering on text formatted line items, there was the option to use 'Does Not Contain'. There is a 'Contains' condition, which has proved helpful, however a 'Does Not Contain' would also provide a lot of value.
Calendar in the NUX Pages
Hi, Is it possible to put a calendar wherein I can choose the specific month or date in the New UX pages? if possible, how? Thank you!
New UX Idea - Dafault source model listed in more than one model used as a source for a page
This will be helpful to choose a default out of two or more sources used in a created page. Currently users see the first listed source when they open a page for the first time. And can be confused of the wrong data they see on the screen. The order in the settings of a page below does not affect on how the models will be…

"Restore Page" button in the New UX
Having a "Restore Page" button in the New UX, like the "Restore App" button that saves Apps up to 30 days. Emailing support@anaplan.com every time you accidentally delete a Page is not very convenient. In other words, too much damage could be done to an App (by deleting a Page) with 2 clicks.
Ability to Add Data Write Action to Existing Process
1. It would be really a game changer if we are able to add Data Write Actions to the existing processes, It would not only scale up the usage of the Data Write Action but also would save a lot of time and effort and would save us from creating multiple saved views and actions. 2. Currently, Data Write actions can only…
Use KPI Cards to Hyperlink between Apps
Use KPI Cards to Hyperlink between Apps Provide the ability to enter a custom URL in a KPI Card that allows users to click on a KPI card and navigate to a separate Dashboard within a separate App or external website. Currently KPI cards can only link to Dashboards within the same App.…
Allow model builders to differentiate models by changing the color of the "Anaplan" blue header bar
We have many different models our team of builders uses, all of which have a slightly different name, but sometimes that's not exactly obvious if one is working in the Revision 1 model, or the Revision 2 model, Staging, or Production etc. I would like the ability to alter the color of the blue anaplan header bar so that I…
Enable multiple source models for an app
Hello Community Members, We are trying to move from a multi-app set-up (Dev, Test, Prod) for our UX apps to a single app enable with multiple source models. However, in trying to do that I realized that there's no way I can change this setting at an app level; now I end up needing to make that change in ~ 6*20 pages. Since…

Apps > Report: Add Variance between rows
The new feature in Apps > Report to add variance between columns (as shows in the screenshot) is fantastic. It would be very useful to have the same feature to calculate variances between rows, but this is currently unavailable. It would be greatly appreciated if this feature could please be added as soon as possible so we…
Enable Keyboard shortcuts in NUX
Currently, the quick search (Ctrl + Shift + S) to look for an item in a grid from the old UX is not working in the new UX. Would be great to have that working again, as our clients are using that a lot.
Freeze Panes
Will it ever be possible to freeze panes like excel?
NUX Ability to Re-Size Drop Down Lists in Grids
Is there an ability to allow a user to resize a drop down list in grids? Currently it looks like it defaults to the size of the column, and when selecting a list item within a hierarchy, often the view of the item is obstructed and you have to scroll to see the item. We did notice that you can resize the column right…

Upload Image for NUX
Anaplan don't allow to upload images but there is the possibility to show them only with the use of links. This can indeed streamline the App but it can generate some problems where some clients have restrict web access in regards to websites that are visitable. It would be great to have the chance to upload image and -why…
