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 :

I added another request to it as I feel the "Last executed by" information would be helpful as well.
We got several hundred of modules. I think it could be usefull if modules can get sorted/filtered by (dynamic) groups or even in folders in the modules overview. Maybe the Data Tags could used with this. //GP
Selective Access for list used as a format of line item works properly when given line item is published on dashboard or page. Unfotunatly if user wants to filter data manually, he/she is able to see all items from the list. This behaviour was observed on dashboards and in NUX as well. This issue is most troublesome for a…
While working in the Beta version of Anaplan, we’ve noticed that the Export button is unavailable when switching to the Beta environment. This limits our ability to export required data directly from modules. When the Export button is available, it works as expected — allowing us to export necessary data such as items used…
