What's New: February 22, 2020

[VickiA]

We have successfully made platform enhancements on Saturday, February 22nd, 2020, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. PST. 

• ALM enhancements: Improved robustness of ALM sync and introduction of restore point identifiers "Begin sync revision" and "End sync revision failed" to model History. These markers enable the identification of compatible restore points before or after an unsuccessful sync. With this enhancement, you’ll benefit from a more reliable ALM sync. In the event of an unsuccessful sync, you will able to more quickly and easily pinpoint the compatible restore point to trouble shoot.

• Dynamic Cell Access (DCA) enhancements: For DCA enabled cells, data imports are enhanced to update only the cells based on the respective users' dynamic cell access. With this enhancement, you’ll gain a robust means to promote model changes from development into production, taking into account all model features that could be included in the development model. Specifically, import will no longer fail when you don’t have dynamic cell access to some of the cells you want to update. Any data matched to cells you have access to will update.

• User Experience enhancements: New capability for model builders to open "line item subsets". An "Open button" is now available for "line item subsets", delivering functionality similar to open for "general lists". With this enhancement, you will be able to quickly and easily work with the line item subsets the same way you work with general lists. You’ll gain more visibility into granularity data by opening a line item subset from the Line Item Subsets inventory and management screen.

Coming soon: In early April 2020, new "Home" will become the default landing page for all users. This means that when a user logs into Anaplan, instead of landing on "Launchpad", as they do today, they will be greeted with the new "Home" page. To learn more about the new "Home" page and how it enables a seamless journey for a user across all of their Anaplan content, see this blog post.

00217807	When you perform a copy branch that causes RANK to exceed the 10,000,000 limit the model rolls back. No warning is provided, so the cause of the rollback is unclear.

00155275 00216267 00229410	When you import to a list dimension with a list name that starts with the * character, a pattern syntax error occurs if you set the import to Ask each time import is run.

00159254 00184805 00185228 00250082 00256937	Where a saved view has a filter in a target model, and there is a change in the list subset to which the module applies, the filter is removed from the saved view when the model is synchronized.
00187966 00219886	Where a module saved view has a list with a subset in nested dimensions, the pivot of the saved view may change when the model is synchronized.

00193622 00219886	Where a saved view has a filter in a target model, and the Applies To attribute of the module changes from a list to a list subset, the filter is removed from the saved view when the model is synchronized.
