It would be great to have Anaplan built in functionality to tell a user when an action or process was last ran. This would be extremely helpful in identifing forecast locking, data loads, etc.
Use Case : Data Hub
I am currently building a Data Hub to be used by other builders downstream. Ideally i would have a date flag against hierarchies to show when last updated so the builders know if now safe to load into their models. To overcome the limitation for now the source system was able to provide an extract date as an additional column to the child/parent file. I am using this as a property on the Cost Centre List to mark when last loaded. Clearly the same date will be on all cost centres. A useful hack for now.
Thanks

@DavidSmith that's great news!
@dafinkapancheva I see this when I go to settings-->actions. I haven't played around with this yet, but is there a way to get this to populate in a module? End users may want to see this. I know you could do an export --> import via an integration tool. How about a formula?
@KBeltz ,
I tested this new feature this morning and had exactly the same thought. It feels that what's been delivered is more of an MVP so I submitted this idea, which is what I think you are asking for :
https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Further-enhancement-to-newly-delivered-quot-Last-run-quot-quot/idi-p/98094
I added another request to it as I feel the "Last executed by" information would be helpful as well.
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: Applying things like bps is great but would be great to not have the space between number and item. For pre-defined ones such as %…
Currently Templates can only be run on a certain day of the week or selected date of the month. It would be great if it can have more options to trigger workflows
Before we start, here's a quick description of what are simple lists. Then, I will share how each level in a simple list can be flagged. Simple lists contain list items in a single list with a parent/child hierarchy. For example: It's often tricky to apply logics to this list because you can only add data to child list…
