Filter Performance Improvement

In this release, we've improved the performance of filters. You can see this improvement when filtering many rows or columns by a line item that:

Note: This performance improvement does not apply to line items with Dynamic Cell Access.

Use the top level list item as the default item in a page selector

As a model builder, you can now configure whether the top level item in a list is the default item in a page selector. We've added the Use Top Level As Default Page? checkbox to the Configuration tab of lists, and the grid within General Lists.

The setting is applied throughout the model and is therefore applied to both modules and dashboards. All modules, dashboards, personal dashboards, and saved views that use the list are updated.

If the end user does not have permission to view the top level item, the page selector defaults to the first leaf item.

Learn more in the Setting the Top Level as Default Page Selector Academy course.

Open source module from drill down dialog

As a model builder, you can now use the Open source module option on each line item or grid in the Drill down dialog. You no longer need to remember the name of the module and then search for it.

Close Others option on tabs

We've added the Close Others option to module and dashboard tabs. This enables you to close all other module or dashboard tabs except the one from which you select Close Others.

Line item import progress and Cancel

We've added a progress bar to imports in Blueprint.

New and enhanced features for workspace administrators

Reset the Index of a List

If your organization works with large amounts of data, the maximum value for a list item index can be reached. If you're a workspace administrator, you can now reset the index if it is between 899,999,999 and 999,999,999. You no longer need to contact Anaplan Support.

  • a list as a dimension with a top level.

We've fixed some issues that occur in filters, which don't use time or versions and have no line item summary. Filters ran even when:
  • the user did not have access to the module in which the filter line item resides;
  • the filter used a list item in a fixed context that the user did not have access to in specific circumstances.
Once this release is live, some filters that you have already created may not return the same data or may return no data. To resolve this issue, grant users access to the relevant modules and list items.

When you reopen a model then open a dashboard with a page selector that has the Time dimension and the Initial Page selection option set to Default, the value for that page selector should be set to the Current Period defined in Model Settings > Time > Model Calendar. This does not happen if one of the time periods that you can choose using the page selector is hidden.

This also occurs for the Versions dimension. For instance, if you reopen a model then open a dashboard with a page selector that has the Versions dimension and the Initial Page selection option set to Default, the value for that page selector should be set to the version with the Currentcheckbox selected in Model Settings > Versions. This does not happen if one of the Versions that you can choose using the page selector is hidden.
