With the introduction of the Notification action in the New UX, it would be great to have the ability to edit these actions once created.      At the moment, once the notification worksheet action has been created there is no ability to tweak it further - you have to redo the whole thing again. ...

With the introduction of the new Notificaiton capability in the New UX (which works great when tested), it would be great to expand it to include 'Anaplan Roles' instead of Specific People in the email selection.     Another far fetched expansion would be to integrate this with AD groups etc. to send notifications across the organisation to people with limited access to Anaplan! ...

Dear all,   Would be great to do a bulk copy being able to map multiple months either to the same month or to another month. So if for example I would like to copy data from Jan - Dec 2019 to Jan - Dec 2020 I would have to do this in 12 steps.   Other posts have been shared that I also support, but are slightly different:   https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Bulk-Copy-by-Month/idi-p/36076 https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Add-Bulk-Copy-to-action-list-to-be-added-in-process-chain/idi-p/40525   Kind regards, Maud ...

Dear all,   Would be great to bulk copy data on a certain combination of dimensions: For example to copy the data of one Store to a specific other store but just for a selection of months and a specific version. And make it possible to create an action out of it; it would allow end-users to pre-populate a new Product, Store, CC based on a reference Product, Store, CC in multiple modules in one go.   Other example is copy just 1 month from 1 version to a different month in another version.   see also related posts: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Bulk-Copy-multi-month-mapping/idi-p/73012#M5859 https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Bulk-Copy-by-Month/idi-p/36076 https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Add-Bulk-Copy-to-action-list-to-be-added-in-process-chain/idi-p/40525   Kind regards, Maud ...

Hi Anaplan,    I believe a great development for the platform would be to have a native connector that links to Outlook or other schedule planning applications. This would allow users to sync their meeting and calendar invites and also sync workflow messages and requests directly with Outlook.  This would mean in the most used platforms the schedules are always up to date.  Having this in the NUX mobile app would be really useful for productivity.    Thanks,   Usman ...

Could Anaplan action iteself allowing for scheduling? (i.e. a common use case would be you have an action that brings data from Data Hub to Spoke models and data in Spoke models need to be refreshed everyday) - It would be super helpful to have this function built-in at the time the action/import is set up in Anaplan, instead of an extra step setting up API/Anaplan Connect or 3rd party integration . ...

This request has been posted already in 2013  & 2018 and probably in the years in between. It is not availbale yet, while it will solve a lot of problems for many of our customers. If you do not want to change a previous version, then the option for Formula Scope needs to be put on "Current Version" this however blocks all formulas that use IF ISACTUALVERSION(). #FormulaScope #VersionControl ...

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 idea applies to the Modules menu - we can't see which actions use the modules.   The solution could be as simple as a "Used in Actions" column in the Modules menu and General Lists, that lists all of the actions using the module or list.   Today, the way we're handling this is to export the various tabs in the Actions menu and then review in Excel. This is tedious and - when working on a break-fix - too time-consuming.      ... View more

Request from Amgen Europe : Anaplan is currently not able to send email notifications based on a pre-set condition. e.g.  whenever a price is submitted below a certain threshold. The idea would to have an action that sends email based on a threshold but without having to use your own mailbox ... View more

As a page builder in new ux i need to be able to add / drag the workflow parts (not started / in progress / completed) from my models for lists with workflow enabled lists.   As a user of app / pages i need to be able to action in progress / completed buttons to complete my work and once done lock my work or work from my team ...

Hi Anaplan,    Currently the process builder only allows for each Process to only have ONE contact assignment. It would be really beneficial if it would possible to have multiple contacts recieve a notification for a workflow step. The benefit would be a time saving in not having to repeat the creation of multiple workflow steps to multiple users.    Credit to @jbalkin    Thanks,   Usman ... View more

I think all model builders will know the frustration of trying to open the settings menu and misclicking the model map!   It will often take minutes to load on large models, with no option to cancel the selection - in some instances it even crashes the browser!   Please give us the opportunity to hide or move the button to open the model map to somewhere on the page that is more suitable!   (I would love to see some stats on time wasted by clicking the button, I know I must have lost plenty over the years!) ...

"As an end-user I want to directly launch a model, dashboard or task (new workflow) via a SSO secured URL so that I can do efficiently my work and don't waste time by navigating through the launchpad / model structure."   This is makes collaboration across our organisation much more intuitive, because URL links could be included in other applications (third party CRM's etc.) and shared via team messaging services (MS Teams, Slack etc.). Also the new workflow could be launched directly from the email notifiers. ... View more

Currently, exporting the history of the model will include all changes, including selective access, imports, value changes, delete/add user etc.    Allowing users to only export specific categories (ex. Value changes) would cut down on the time it takes to download history, and would cut down on the size of the export.  ... View more
