Edit Dashboard
Dear Members, I am getting a Slider which I want to remove. Desired Format has no Slider. Please help me to remove the slider from Dashboard. Thanks.
Dashboard Header Module
Dear Members, Require your help in removing the Module Name from Dashboard. I have shared the Desired Format (How I want) and My Format (How I have). Please feel free to ask in any difficulty of understanding.
Dynamic Time View Settings
Purpose: Retain views with multiple types of time scales/periods in the same view during YoY rollover, for multiple line items or list items, in a single view. Example: Dimensionality: Vertical/Columns- Time/ Line Item Horizontal/Rows- List Members Display: Line item 1 - Year only Line item 2 - Non-applicable (Display Full…
Line Items Not at the Hierarchy of the Line Item Subset
I have inserted line items into a module where I have a line item subset set up. In the module where I am using the line item subset, the inserted line items do not fall in the hierarchy in the subset . thanks iosman
System Default date
We are building dashboard with workflow, where user approve/reject demand plan, would like to keep system date so that we will know when user made changes. It would be great system default date and time can appear there. Thanks,
XYZ Axis Charts - Bubble Charts - Radar Charts
Hi, It would be great to see a wider range of charting options such as XYZ Axis, bubble and radar charts. Thanks, Usman
Bandwidth control icon (good or bad connection signal)
There's already a Status.Anaplan.com site for advanced users. But it would be great end user to be aware of bad connection issue. Just like mobile phones show the bandwidth, Anaplan site could give the connection speed icon in the upper right corner.
Saved view changes to sync with dashboards that have saved views published.
Hi Anaplan, It would be really useful to have any changes made to saved views to sync with the dashboards that contain these saved views instead of having to republish these changes. Thanks, Usman
Select default values for all dashboard elements at once
Now we choose default list value for each dashboard element/table. It will be better to set default values for all dashboard elements in a one place. Also would be great to make this parameter editable via a line item, not necessarily via dashboard admin settings.
Drill down to graphs elements in dashboards
Graph lines/columns are actually the same data as in the tables. That would be great for a user to be able to drill down into a graph elements just like in any cell (that is currently possible).
Single filter for several dimensions
Say you have project that have sale that are limited in time: JanFebMarAprMay112842075 2 86436534 318774405010188983244 127374295 55276 I would like to be able to filter both the projects and the months at the same time. So that when I select the summary level only useful data is shown. Let's say the last three projects…
Dashboards elements localization
Please add an option to edit the dashboard element (e.g. Text Boxes, Buttons, Line Items, List elements description, etc) for different languages. Currently there's only a single system name for every object in Anaplan. But for multinational companies that's really a problem
Save chart settings after selecting another item
Currently if you hide/show some of the elements in a chart and afterwards select a list element, default settings are restored for a chart. Thus a user cannot customize a chart for an ad-hoc analysis: the chart is always restored to initial settings, forcing the user to reconfiguring the needed view each time after…
Remove hyperlink from Anaplan logo
The Anaplan logo at the top of the screen can easily be pressed unintentionally. In that case user is transferred to model grid losing all the progress in the model. Please add at least a notification before closing all the dashboards.
Identify users with saved views
We currently have thousands of end users, so when a change/revision is made to a dashboard, we would like the ability to identify which users have created a saved view. This would allow for us to direct communication to these specific users when their saved views have been reset.
Have display name overwrite for modules/actions
Hi, as model builder it would be very handy to start using naming conventions like in the blog of @joeymorisette Time to Tidy: No More Mess in Your Models. With some naming conversions it would also be easy to sort your modules/actions (or in theory any object) on name, however if you publish modules to a dashboard you…
Easily see whether a list or module is used in an Action.
As a model builder, I want to see whether a module or list is referenced by, or used in, an Action. For example, in "General Lists", we can see whether a list is referenced in a module's "Applies To", as a Format, or in a Formula. But we can't easily see, for example, whether the list is used in a Saved Export. The same…
Newly created Dashboard item appears either at the extreme top or bottom
Description: Newly created Dashboard item appears either at the extreme top or bottom which makes implementing Dashboards inefficient especially when Dashboard reaches few pages long. Example of enhancement: Currently, a new text box gets added at the extreme top of the dashboard and graphs/charts gets added at the extreme…
Exporting table from DB into file with all data from table including zero data rows/columns
Hi, I have this table in a dashboard and when I export this table into an excel file, it only shows the rows that have a number > 0. See pics attached. How can i export it so that it exports the whole table, including everything that has 0? Thanks! Amanda
Increase max symbols limit for tooltips in dashboards
Currently only 250 symbols can be added which not enough for big comments. For example we were thinking of doubling the instruction both in English and Russian language and in this case 250 is too small amount
Keyboard Delete / Backspace should delete a selected dashboard object, ENTER should = clicking OK
Seemingly across the board in software the "Delete"/"Backspace" keys can be used to delete a selected item and "Enter" accepts the default button on a dialog. Building a dashboard in Anaplan is unnecssarily tedious because neither of these work. Lack of small quality of life workflow changes like these add up and makes it…
Currency Page Selector/Filter
Hi, I need to be able to create a DB that allows me to choose what currency to display. At the moment I have data in various currencies, a currency conversion module has been made which hosts GBP, Local Currency and USD. I've created the FX List. What I need to do now is on the dashboard somehow create a page selector that…
Charts and Graphs
Ability to change the scaling of axis on charts as well as the option to hide the axis. Currently I may have values in £ or £m and the axis may incorrectly show as £k.
Dynamically update Dashboard graphs
Description: Currently when you publish a graph to a dashboard based off a filter, as the filter updates the graph will update only showing time periods within the original publication. Enhancement: Have graph show all time periods of current filter, regardless if they were in the original publication. Example of…
Time settings: customize naming convention
Would be great if we could customize how the time labels show in the models. In my use case, I'm using a model with a Week time dimension. Users complain a lot that in order to search for a week, they have to start typing "W/e...", plus when time is on the columns, the labels are very big. If we could chose to customize…
Private Pictures
Today Anaplan supports only public url links to display picture in a dashboard. However, for Supply Chain Planning, planners are working on new products, which are confidential before their launch. Even if Anaplan is able to secure the access of products thanks to authorizations or dynamic cell access, the access to the…
Chart - limit values on the axis
Would be great if we could limit the values (from and to) on the axis of a chart / graph. It seems to be a simple functionality in excel. Right now this is the main problem for us to be able to use the Anaplan graphs straight into our official reports.
User-Defined templates for new Modules / Lists / Dashboards (instead of a blank canvas)
As a model builder I'd like to be able to create a module template for use when anyone clicks "create new module" so that when any model builder begins making a new module the "empty module" they start from is my designated template. This would likely include various pre-named and formatted line items, categories, with…
Do not have permission to perform an action on item selected
Hi, I created a Create button titled "Create New FY20 Sales Title" in this dashboard. This action will be performed by our Sales Ops Admin. I've given this user access to the button and the two lists: "Staging All New Sales Titles", and "STAGING - New Sales Title FY20" which is the list this is being created in, and the…
Selection of multiple line items for a graph
Hi, I would like to make a combined graph with several line items on the vertical axis. However, it seems like I need to create a saved view that only contains these line items on the vertical axis and now other line items. Otherwise it will show all line items, with no options to hide them. In the standard Anaplan module,…
