I would like to have the possibility to disable DRILL DOWN functionality for and end-user on a dashboard (classic) / board, in short, introduce this selection under the Menu Options.  This functionality can be useful for modules using complex calculations in the background or third-party end-users.    ...

I would like to have the possibility to extract different attributes for a list member in the worksheet via Excel Add-In (rather than just the name), in the same way the direct export from Anaplan allows: display name, code, parent, etc.   Few examples where I find this functionality useful: reconciliation process after a system update, regression testing before a release, end-user ad-hoc reporting, etc   ...

Having a "Restore Page" button in the New UX, like the "Restore App" button that saves Apps up to 30 days. Emailing support@anaplan.com every time you accidentally delete a Page is not very convenient. In other words, too much damage could be done to an App (by deleting a Page) with 2 clicks. ...

 The ability to import line items format while importing blueprints would be really helpful. Currently, I've set up an automated process to import newly created line items from one module into another module on a daily basis. However, I am still required to check the module frequently for new line items imported in order to set their right format. It would be less tedious if the format too could be imported in a blueprint view. ... View more

In the Old UX, there used to be double lines to signify that something was a summary item. For example, if a module was dimensioned by quarters, the Years would have a double line (see screenshot). This made the data easy to understand. However, in the new UX, there is no native formatting that accomplishes this (see second screenshot). I think the NUX needs to be updated to have a differentiation for summary items. ... View more

This will speed up API development and runtime both. The API requires ID's as parameter, however Anaplan UI shows only the Name.   When using API for sending data to Anaplan or triggering a process we now use the name for searching the id. Currently this requires additional looping in our API framework. If we know from the Anaplan UI e.g. the processId upfront we can directly implement it with this ID rather then looping over all processes till the API found the correct Id. ... View more

Hi,   Currently we have no clear picture of how different users are counted to Anaplan subscription. I would like to have a page in Administration that would show, which users are considered Builders / Professionals / Readers by Anaplan and are going to be charged. Ideally I would like to specify user type myself, so that Reader user cannot do any cell edit action and cause incompliance.   This will help to clarify uncertain situations for example when a license is passed from one person to another and possible passed back with time. Also it will simplify customer - anaplan subscription negotioations in a great way. ... View more

I am sure i am not the only one to experience this bug/issue.   The problem when in Admin view or Classic UX: When scrolling to the bottom of a module (one large enough to require scrolling to see the line items at the bottom of the module) the bottom-most line items can not be reached using the scroll bar. To even see these line items you must select a visible line item and use the down arrow keys to reach the bottom-most line items. It looks like the auto-calculate bar which appears automatically is causing the issue.   The solution: Allow the scroll bar to reach the bottom-most line items such that ALL line items are visible.    ...

Synchonized selection should not sync on the SAME grid that I click on to sync the rest of the page.  If I select an item in the grid to see the metadata on that item on the right, you should still see the entire grid without having to re-sync with the top page selector, which as you can see doesn’t even sync on the level item you clicked on, but a level above that item selected. This makes it very hard to click around and look at metadata of different items within the same list without having to re-click the page selector to re-sync the page back to get back to where you started. This is an issue with almost any page where you care clicking on a list item to sync the rest of the page to that item - One of the biggest benefits of Anaplan's reporting functionality. ...

When parent levels are hidden on worksheet, there are a lot of white space for list items which is a big waste and also not good visualization. See screenshot below. It'd be great if the space will be shortened or removed when one or more parent levels are hidden/deselected.       ... View more

Hi,   In a Worksheet, it would be helpful to have Global Context Selectors appear on a Card in the Additional Insights pane (but still be able to Sync with Page).   My reasoning is this: I have a few other filters in the Additional Insights pane and am hoping to have all of my filters/context selectors in the same location.   Having access to these global selectors in the Additional Insights pane would allow the End User to make all of their selections in the same location.   Thank you. ...

I would like to ask for a new functionality within Anaplan that could really ease our work with Anaplan. And that is multi selection. I see two ways how to apply multi selection, both very helpful:   1. Multi selection for context selector. Once the dimension is displayed as "Context/Page Selector", it would be great to have a possibility for multi selection which would automatically summed up the selected items from the hierarchy - thus, we would have a possibility to see the sum of the values in the object per e.g. two countries that do not need to have the same parent. 2. Multi selection for drop down lists. When we display the dimension as row or column and we are using custom filters (using another line item with a format "list" to filter the content in the object), it would be great to have a possibility for the filter to have a multi selection - we could choose more than only one item from the list which would result in showing rows/columns that match more than only one item from the list, e.g. rows matching country A and below them rows matching country B. 3. Improvement of Filter in New UX. Alternative to the point 2 (however much less flexible) is to improve the existing filters in New UX in the following way: a) we should have a possibility to apply them on more than one table. We often need to add two tables next the each other - one with no time, one with time dimensionality, but both creating one input table. In such case it is not possible to apply one filter to both tables which greatly limits the option to use this built-in filter. b) it should be possible to edit them directly in the table (as e.g. "Search" works) and not in the right panel  c) often, the whole name of the items in the field "Choose" is not visible - once it is longer and has more parents, we are unable to see the whole name of the items in the drop down. This should be changed. ... View more

Hi team,   I would like to request the ability to display multiple segments or bars on the same horizontal row of a Gantt Chart. Here is the example:   This request stems from a Production Scheduling use case: each bar with the same colour is a different production batch of the same product type, so instead of having a row per batch, we can visualize the different batches of the same product on the same row.   I guess that the source module to hold the data to be repored with this chart could have Time (X axis) and Product (Y axis) as dimensions, and Start and End dates as Line items, in this way we could capture the different start and end dates for each of the bars to be reported per row?   Thanks, Alex.   ...

In current standard grid modules and UX Grids you can't Collapse & Expand hierarchies of Lists/Line Items/Sublist like you can do in Excel (see below). Considering that sometimes hierarchies can be huge or you want to Collapse one part but Expand another - it would be good to have such functionality   ... View more
