Accessing the new U/X for end users
Hi, have you got any idea of how/when end users will be able to access the new U/X properly? Currently we go into our tile view of all our existing models in the existing u/x, and then have to select the new u/x in the top blue toolbar. That's not an ideal user experience, and I expect at some point we'll be doing…

Same space place for values of different formats
Currently in Anaplan different format values are located in different places of the cell. Thus, number format items are placed on the right, text and other - on the left.

Suppress Saved Views in Contents Pane
We have modules that we reference frequently that would be convenient to have accessible in the Contents Pane. However, there is a relatively high number of saved views on the modules and to include them in the Contents Pane would mean taking up many lines in the Contents Pane. It would be helpful if there were an option…

Changing number format for stakeholders
It would be useful to be able to change the format of numbers making it easier for senior stakeholders to see. if we have 56989 units of goods - we have to export data files into excel and reformat to display 57 as an output. It would be useful if Anaplan would be able to display 1,000s' in the same way.
