Users can automate and schedule integrations with IICS directly using the Anaplan connector, eliminating the need for additional point products. In addition to this, users can access hundreds of pre-built connectors via IICS, and enable connections with systems like Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP and more.   As of June 2021, we've added new capabilities that are sure to enhance the integration experience. This latest release includes feature enhancements like:  Support for workspace names and model names within the Connection objects. This feature simplifies the configuration process for integrations.   Ability to download error files from model-to-model imports within an Anaplan process action.   We have also made some bug fixes within the connector that will ensure a more user-friendly experience .  Fixed NULL pointer error when at least 1 type of each action (Export, Import, Process, Delete) is not present in Anaplan model. Connector now displays a user friendly notification.  Anaplan exports run indefinitely when Anaplan model history is used as source object. Error dumps for model-to-model Imports cannot be retrieved. Data export from model fails in case of multi-line text.  Integration runs indefinitely when Anaplan Export source fields differ from the initial Export definition. If you have any further questions, you can refer to Anapedia to learn more about the Connector and access the connector through the Informatica Marketplace .    ... View more

We’re excited to begin rolling out Centralized Identity Management (CIM). CIM is designed to empower administrators to manage all the users in their tenant from a single pane of glass, providing a high level of security and trust for users, data, and the environment. CIM will be deployed in multiple phases. As of March 4, customers can now assign the User Admin role. The ability for the User Admin to assign users to workspaces using the Administration UI will will be released with the launch of Phase 2, scheduled for May 25.  T he ability to add and remove users within the users tab of the workspace will be removed from the Workspace Administrator role in Phase 2 as well. Workspace Administrators will continue to be able to set model-level permissions within models. If an individual set to Workspace Administrator needs to continue to add users to workspaces, they will need to be assigned the User Administrator role within Administratio n once the next phase is available. After that release, when a user is first added to a workspace, that users default access will be ”no access”. It is then the Workspace Administrator’s responsibility to define the model access for that newly added user. Check out this Anapedia article for more information. ... View more

Released in February Modeling Enhancements Action Last Run Timestamp: See the date and time for when an Action was run on the Actions tab. The timestamp updates every time an action is triggered either individually or as part of a process. This feature helps model builders keep track of executed actions and serves as an activity debug log that will help troubleshoot data issues.  Order a list by date or time period: Order a list by date or time period formatted line items. This allows you to order your list items by time, in addition to text or number formatted line items. Export formatted numbers: Model builders and workspace administrators can now export formatted numbers for unformatted file types: text, CSV, unformatted XLS, and XML. The exported numbers match the number of decimal places set up for the line item, and use "." as the decimal indicator. This makes it easier to use the data in other applications. Filtering support for line item subsets: Filter additional modules via a Line Item Subset, providing more flexibility for filtering rules throughout the model. Conditional formatting usability update: Apply conditional formatting directly to any line item, including on pages. This eliminates the need to pivot the line item to a row or column before applying conditional formatting. Action management enhancements: New Notify Actions help page builders better manage and streamline the page creation and editing process. Collaboration Updates See the Collaboration data sheet for more information on the features released in February Slack integration: Slack integration is live. Once installed in your Anaplan workspace, you can share a UX page with your Slack contacts and public channels from within the “share a page” modal, and the Anaplan Slackbot will notify your recipients. This means you can bring Anaplan data to those who need it even more quickly for efficient collaboration. See the Collaboration data sheet for more information  User tagging with context aware notifications: User tagging has been added to Commenting in the UX. You can tag colleagues to notify them and bring them into the conversation when you need their input. User tagging is available across the web and Anaplan mobile app. Context aware notifications allow a recipient to open their URL to a page with the correct context loaded and their conversation panel open and ready to reply in an instant. Context aware URLs are available across web and the Anaplan mobile app. UX Updates End user pivot for boards and cards: End user pivot is now available for cards on both Boards and Worksheet pages. This enables users to do their pivot analysis on any card on any page rather than having to navigate to a Worksheet. End user pivot can be turned on and enabled for existing cards in the card configuration. All new cards will have end user pivot automatically enabled by default. End user pivot on Cards is only available on custom views. Note that when pivoting dimensions from rows and columns to pages, certain customizations you’ve previously applied, such as view level filters or show selections, will be reset. To ensure these customizations apply when pivoting to pages, apply them directly to the context selector at the page level. Mobile Enhancements Dynamic notify action: Dynamic notify actions are now available in the Anaplan mobile app, allowing you to send email notifications to recipients based on context. You can leverage default messages or customize them to communicate the exact action you need the recipient to take. Conditional formatting for KPI cards: The mobile app now supports conditional formatting for KPI cards. Quickly see your key metrics and know if your business is on track, from wherever you are. Admin Console Certificate rotation for Self-Service SAML: Customers utilizing SS SAML can renew their Anaplan certificate with this new self-service capability. HyperCare 3.0 Center of Excellence concierge: Strengthen your COE footprint with access to best practices provided by your assigned or dedicated HyperCare resource. Weekly reporting app and metrics: Get granular data insights and UX migration advice to guide you along your UX adoption journey. Ideas Delivered in Feb   🎉 Have a timestamp on when an action or process was last ran Action/Process Run History 'Last run' column in Settings>Actions>Imports Grid Ability to export values as formatted for .CSV   Targeted for March Disclaimer:   Please note: The information here is subject to change right up to release go-live time. This post is not a commitment to provide any features by a certain time frame and enhancements to the product may change before release. Subscribe here and check back frequently for the latest. UX Updates Grid image support: We’ll be adding support for images within a grid. This will use URL formatted line items to render images in the grid cell. This will be especially useful for retail and trade and promotion planning use cases by displaying an image alongside the SKU/product reference. Row height settings: Alongside grid image support, we’ll be adding settings that will allow builders to control the row height of a grid. This will enable wrapped text in a cell so users can add detailed commentary. Mobile barcode scanner: Mobile users will be able to use the built-in barcode scanner to enter numerical data, enabling faster entry for product details. App-level page access control: We’ll be launching new capabilities to view and manage page access configurations for all pages in an app within a single experience. This functionality improves productivity and reduces the time required to restrict access to pages. In addition, it provides clear visibility into the restrictions applied across the app. Excel Add-in 4.2: Excel Add-in 4.2 is targeted to launch at the end of March. We’re pleased to announce that you will be able to insert more than one million cells in your worksheet as requested in this idea and this idea. As with previous versions, we’ll do a phased release so members of the feedback group will be given access first before the add-in becomes available to all customers in April. More details about Excel Add-in versions. Extensibility Updates Transactional APIs: We’re adding more APIs to our public Transactional APIs offering. These new data and metadata APIs will allow users to gain more visibility into model data. Security Enhancements Centralized Identity Management (CIM): CIM is designed to empower administrators to manage all the users in their tenant from a single pane of glass, providing a high level of security for users, data and their environment. CIM will be deployed in multiple phases, the first of which will begin in March 2021.

We have successfully made platform enhancements on  Saturday, February 13th, 2021, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. PST.  Action Last Run Timestamp: You can now see the date and time for when an Action was run on the Actions tab.  This information gives you more visibility of a model’s processes, and can help you to troubleshoot issues with actions and processes.  Order a list by date or time period: You can now order a list by date or time period formatted line items. Previously, you could order a list only by text or number formatted line items. Export formatted numbers: Model builders and workspace administrators can now select an option to export formatted numbers for unformatted file types: text, CSV, unformatted XLS, and XML. This makes it easier to use the data in other applications. The exported numbers match the number of decimal places set up for the line item, and use "." as the decimal indicator. No thousand separator is used, and custom units and currency symbols are not exported. Application Life Management (ALM) performance optimization: We have optimized the Compare and Synchronize steps of the ALM process. You could see significant performance improvements when you compare revisions or run a model synchronization.
