• Build a model in Anaplan that includes modules, lists, line items and hierarchies. 
• Import data into a model. 
• Construct formulas and functions to calculate data and reference modules.

Thanks for launching an awesome course and e-learning program. It is a great help and fast-tracks building an Anaplan skillset.

Hi @ChrisMullen,

I might missed something but when I wanted to tackle task: "Publish REV02 Volume Inputs Module to Dashboard" I had no view created.

Have I missed something or there is no coverage in Training materials regarding same?

Edit: Is that intended ;)?

Thanks from top for your answer,

Kind regards,

Arek

@arkhad8965    There is no need to modify this module in a view before you publish.  If you have further questions, please post them in the Academy Forums.    That way others can see it if they have a similar issue.  

Thanks,

Chris

Hi

@ChrisMullen Is there a version of the completed model available to double check my work as I go along? Having just got very stuck with the SYS08 module uploading and found the solutions (eventually) in community I am now not sure if what I have managed to upload is correct or not and don't want to get stuck further down the line if it is still wrong. 

[ChrisMullen]

@Scorina     You do have an example model that you could download in the beginning of the course.  It is in Part 1 under Example Model Exploration.  This is the model you will be building out so you can check against it.   Just click the highlighted link and it will download a model into the selected workspace.

Thank you @ChrisMullen . I had already downloaded it, but failed to identify the name I gave the example model (the perils of trying to do training over a vast number of weeks) and didn't recognize it when I opened it as a possible as the contents section is more complete. I'm blaming the Christmas break.
