About VickiA

Released in June User Experience Report Page usability enhancements: It is now even easier to create great looking Management Reports using the Report page with some exciting new usability updates Layout enhancements, snap to grid - You can set the layout engine in design mode to use snap to grid to help with aligning your cards on the report. Lock cards - You can now lock cards in place such as background images so they no longer get moved by mistake when changing the layout. Copy & Paste Cards - Copy and paste cards across slides on the same report to save time recreating common cards. The Cards will paste in the same location as the original on the separate slide. Enhance Zoom - More granular zoom settings to focus on a particular area of the report Short cut keys - You can now perform a number of layout option actions using short cut keys     Report Table Formatting enhancements: It is now possible to format down to an individual row or column on the presentation table in the report page. This includes the ability to apply number scaling and number formatting, thus giving the report builder even more flexibility to create great looking reports. Row and column styling - Change the background, font colour or emphasis a row or column in the presentation table. Number scaling - Change the numbers on your report table to display in Millions or thousands depending on the most relevant to your audience. Number formatting - Update the number formatting to % or apply a suffix or prefix directly on the report depending on your needs. Include list properties with grid exports: Replicating a feature when exporting data from Classic grids, we’ll be adding the ability to optionally include labels and list properties when exporting grids of data from the UX.   Additional options for running model actions: Based on customer feedback we’re adding an additional option against model actions in the UX that will ensure end users are always prompted before their action runs and always shown a summary of the action, even when it completes successfully. Modelling Improvements to Platform Messages: We've improved the way in which messages are displayed to users today, including informative and error messages like access issues, processing messages.  Messages that previously appeared in the blue “toaster” now appear as pop-out messages in the top right. System processing messages through long running actions or blocking actions appear in a new message banner across the top Extra control over how your model actions run in the UX:  We've made changes to the Page Builder experience to increase the level of control you can have over how model actions run in the UX. These changes will allow you to decide if you want your actions (imports and processes) to run silently, or to trigger prompts and confirmation messages. Check out our Feature Update blog for more information. Note:   We will not be changing the default behaviour- imports and processes will continue to run silently/automatically. Extensibility Enhancements to Anaplan Connector for DocuSign: This feature eliminates the need for Anaplan users to log into Anaplan DocuSign integration to update Sent Document statuses to their Anaplan models. The automated status refresh will work at scheduled intervals and users will see statuses updated to Anaplan model at regular intervals. This is particularly useful in case the user who initiated the documents for e-signing is not available and other Anaplan model users need to see the updated statuses.

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. Intelligence Cloudworks Integrations for PlanIQ: Drive forecast accuracy by easily incorporating even more internal and external data into forecast models. Allowing our users to directly pulling related data and attributes from AWS S3 and Azure Blob via Cloudworks into PlanIQ, surpassing the need to bring the data into Anaplan. Modelling XLS Exports updates: We are making small changes to the way that XLS exports are processed in order to continue to support for this old file format and to maintain platform stability.   Upcoming scheduled maintenance: July 16: Platform offline: Platform Enhancements July 23: Platform offline: Infrastructure update Have questions or looking for an update?

Released in May User Experience Copy across/down in the UX:   Populating grids of data in the UX is now even easier with the introduction of copy across and down. Accessible through both the right-click menu and the main grid toolbar you can quickly and easily replicate a cell value (or a selection of cell values) across to the right from your selection, or down below it.   Synchronize Scroll: A new synchronize scroll setting on grids for Boards and Worksheets. Once enabled for a group of grids it will synchronize the scroll across grids either vertically or horizontal allowing you to align the data across rows or columns between the grids providing the data set is the same. This will make reviewing and editing your data across multiple grids a much better user experience. Combination chart - default chart type:   You can now specify a default chart type for the combination chart in the UX. This means when series items such as products, materials, cost centres or locations are added as a series to the chart the builder can define what chart type the are rendered as. Saving the builder time as they no longer need to manually change the series chart type to the desired one.   Targeted for June 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. User Experience Additional options for running model actions: Based on customer feedback we’re adding an additional option against model actions in the UX that will ensure end users are always prompted before their action runs and always shown a summary of the action, even when it completes successfully. Breakback hold & release: For customers that use breakback, the ability for their planners to make hold & release adjustments is a critical part of their planning process. To better support this we’ll be adding the ability hold single and multiple cells in UX grid cards and worksheets where breakback is enabled. Assign action: This powerful planning action lets your users create rich relationships between items in one list and items in another list. It’s been a mainstay of planning processes in Classic dashboards and is now available as a UX action button. We’ve also taken the opportunity to provide an improved user experience with optimised list loading handling even larger lists. These changes allow you to incorporate both “Assign” and “Assign Only” actions into your UX-based planning apps. Changes to the display small, negative numbers: We’ll be introducing a small change in the way negative numbers display when their line item definition sets them to be rounded. Currently, a value of -0.000123 would display as 0.00 when rounded to two decimal places. The new behaviour will maintain the indication that this value is below zero and will display as -0.00 Include list properties with grid exports: Replicating a feature when exporting data from Classic grids, we’ll be adding the ability to optionally include labels and list properties when exporting grids of data from the UX. Management Reporting Layout enhancements: Snap to grid, grid layout and other enhancements to accelerate report building and make it easy to create great professional looking reports. Enhanced table formatting: Support for row and column table formatting on a report, including number scaling support. Extensibility DocuSign Connector: The DocuSign Connector updates enables users to automatically refresh your documents within your Anaplan model for ease of use and visibility into your document processes.

We have successfully made platform enhancements on Saturday, May 14, 2022, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. PDT. This release includes platform enhancements that include a minor change to the order of the list of Export formats so that the most commonly used formats appear at the top of the list.  Stay in touch Follow our platform status in real-time at status.anaplan.com Review all upcoming scheduled platform maintenance in the Platform Events calendar Case Reference Issue Description 00408899 00408463 00408469 00409055 00409077 00409104 00408712 00408893 00410055 00409786 00411363 00413087 00414762 In the New Modeling Experience, when you run an Open dashboard action, filtered grids on the dashboard load indefinitely. 00204284 00272615 00378619 00394915 00402228 00408970   In the Time pane, the Current Fiscal Year dropdown displays five years before and after the date in your operating system. If the current fiscal year for a model is outside the range in the Current Fiscal Year dropdown, the selection automatically defaults to the first year in the list. When you navigate away from the Time pane in the model, you receive a prompt to save the change. 00401495 If you activate the formula editor, then select the last line item in a grid with more than 75 line items, a message warns that something’s gone wrong. However, when you clear the message, the line item has been added to the formula and the formula submitted. 00123910 00129443 00159761 00292214 00306713 00345354 00392470 00392953 00394339 00396397   Where a model has more than 1000 modules, it’s not possible to add modules to a line item subset. No modules display in the Select Modules dialog under Click to make a selection. 00354564 In the New Modeling Experience, in Chrome or Edge browser windows, you can only expand windows that overlay the model pane (such as drill down) to the edge of the pane. If you expand the cursor to the edge while you resize, the resize box becomes stuck there. In Firefox, you can expand windows as usual, but it’s possible to expand the resize box beyond the edge of the tab bar, so you cannot move the edge of the box. 00354414 In the New Modeling Experience, when you resize a dashboard element, if you drag the cursor below the bottom of the browser window and then release the mouse button, this does not release the element. 00408533 When you import into a module that has a very large number of cells, and the import is set to clear all items prior to import, the import is unsuccessful. 00408398 00408586 00409138 00409183 00409441   In a list import, where there are more than 60 columns you could map to, you can only map to the first 60 columns. 00397249 00398597 00398710 00403927 00405916 00406636 The last time an action was run does not display in the Start Date and Time column in the Actions pane. 00366252 In the User Experience, when you try to add a numbered list item as a child to a parent item, but that parent item has been recently deleted by another user, the item's not added. This can cause a delay in model operations. 00368088 00376054 00398214 00409658 00409992   Where a saved view contains a very large number of cells, you are unable to open the view or use the view as a source in an import. If you try to open the view, error messages display when you interact with the module until you refresh the browser window. 00385164 In the Excel Add-in, when you delete the value of a date cell and send the change to the connected model, the model cell has a value of -1, but displays as blank. If you filter out blank cells from the model, the cell is not filtered out. 00390162 f you try to use a transactional API to add a list item that starts or ends with an underscore or underscores, the API should reject the list item. Instead, the item seems to add successfully, while the item is either rejected or the underscore or underscores are replaced by a tilde or tildes (~). 00310676 00333739 00379981 00392420 00399714   In the User Experience, when you try to use a form to add a numbered list item by code, and the item code already exists, the item's correctly not added.

Released in April User Experience New Card setting - Sync on selection: Builders can now configure whether clicking a grid header or a chart series will update the page context to the selected item. For example clicking May 2022 on a grid will update the context to that month so all cards will reflect this month. This is often the desired behaviour and remains the default. However there is now a setting to disable this update in cases where this is not required reducing the need to load the data and potentially confusing the user if this is not the desired behaviour. Intelligence Backtest reimport: PlanIQ backtest import allows planners to evaluate forecast model performance using historical data. PlanIQ now allows the users to re-import the backtest data in case this is needed. More information on backtest is available in Anapedia.     Extensibility Updates Transactional APIs:   Large volume read APIs allow customers to export any-sized data from Anaplan modules and lists . They can effectively replace the Export actions that we have now. These are our follow-up to our limited volume data read Transactional APIs that could read up to 1M cells from a module or 1M items from a list. These large volume  APIs will be ideal for larger data loads and will be eventually supported by our wide range of connectors. We will be releasing large volume read APIs that will allow users to: Trigger large volume List read Monitor large volume List read tasks Download pages from large volume List read Clear up intermediate space (an explicit Delete call) Targeted for May Disclaimer: Please note: The information here is subject to change right up to release go-live time.

  Released in March User Experience Worksheet builder usability update : We have improved the usability of updating the settings on the primary grid of a Worksheet by moving the settings from a dialog to the right hand panel. This makes configuring the worksheet grid more efficient for the builder saving time and is also consistent with other Grid card settings. As part of this we have also added a new setting to the primary Worksheet grid to enable the builder to disable cell editing on the grid.   Management Reporting- PDF export update: We have updated the Management Reporting pdf export so the report filename generated now matches the name of the report page. Modeling Experience Formula indentation for preview mode: View and read formulas with “IF THEN ELSE” blocks more easily with automatic indentation formatting when opening the formula editor with valid formulas. Simply open formulas in preview mode in the formula editor to access the functionality. Check out this demo video here.     Enhanced navigation bar : Easily view and navigate to individual modeling interfaces with an expandable navigation bar that better informs and guides users where to go. Work with different browser heights as the menu automatically collapses to avoid scrolling.   Extensibility Anaplan Transactional APIs Metadata API to return detailed metrics on Line Items in Anaplan model to enforce model governance Metadata API reset numbered list index to automate the data loading process Targeted for April Disclaimer: Please note: The information here is subject to change right up to release go-live time.

We’re enhancing our collaboration capabilities to more directly share information about planned events, such as scheduled maintenance windows or releases. We’re excited to announce that in-product notifications for all Anaplan planned downtime releases is targeted to launch in April 2022. Details about in-product notification for planned downtime releases Today, we use a variety of tools to communicate planned events, such as emails, Status Page notifications, Community calendars, and Community blogs, which are publicly accessible. With in-product notifications, we’ll be able to more proactively and directly alert our users about planned events with a single source of truth. This gives our users a simple way to gain greater visibility into upcoming planned downtimes, so they can plan accordingly and maximize the value of their time spent working in Anaplan. What does this mean? Anyone logging into the Anaplan platform will now see a small notification icon in the bell on the top right of their screen. All users will receive this notification seven days in advance of any planned downtime maintenance window.     What will this look like? When users click on the bell notification, they’ll see some details about the upcoming planned downtime maintenance window, such as the date and time. Simply clicking on the notification details will direct them to the Status Page. The Status Page has more information about the release, including what features may be in scope (if applicable) and further information around its date, time, and duration. Users who have the Anaplan Slack app installed will also receive a Slack notification. Plus, those who have the Anaplan Mobile app installed on their device, will also receive a Mobile push notification. The timestamp for in-product, Slack, and mobile notifications will display as the user’s preferred timezone. Note that the Status Page will always display maintenance windows in PST/PDT.     How can users manage in-product notifications?  Initially, these notifications will go to all users who log into the Anaplan platform. In-product notifications are the source of truth for any planned downtime maintenance windows. Individual users can view their notification preferences in the My Account page.   What are all the methods of communicating planned downtimes? In addition to in-product notifications, users will continue to receive notifications for upcoming downtime windows in the following formats: MailChimp email to all Workspace Admins and email opt-in users seven days before the release and reminder email one day prior. Status Page email to subscribers seven days before release and email notification at release start time and end. Community blog posted seven days before release and publicly available. Please note that this is our initial notification plan, which will evolve over time. We will communicate any updates or changes to what is detailed above before they are launched.   Please see this short video demonstrating the look and feel of In-Product notifications for scheduled maintenances. ...

As part of our goal to increase customer transparency into platform activities, we’re enhancing the way we share information about planned events, including scheduled maintenance windows or releases. We’re excited to announce updates to the Status Page and share the 2022 release calendar, which have been created based on customer feedback. Status Page updates Status Page enhancements will be rolled out December, 10th, 2021, to provide more granular detail about both planned and unplanned platform downtimes. Upcoming enhancements More granularity at data center level: The Status Page will soon detail out data centers and cloud by region. For example, if a planned maintenance or unexpected outage were to only affect U.S. West customers, only this region would receive a Status Page and email notification.   Platform sub-components listed within each data center: Each data center will list the specific platform components that are affected by the downtime. For example, scheduled platform maintenance downtimes will list all platform components as under maintenance during those events. However, an unplanned outage may list only ‘Anaplan Data Center - US East’ with the sub-component ‘Intelligence Capabilities’ as unavailable. Each component is accompanied by a tool tip that users can click on for more details about that part of the platform.   Is any action required? No, if you're already subscribed to the Status Page, you’ll be automatically assigned to a new instance by region. If you want to subscribe to the Status Page, you can do so via the button on the status page. If you’re unsure which region you should subscribe to, please do not contact Support. You can reach out to your Anaplan Business Partner who will be able to help you. 2022 platform release calendar We’re also happy to share that our 2022 platform release calendar is live. These dates are based on the valuable feedback that you and other customers have shared with us, which has influenced the 2022 maintenance schedule. Our scheduled maintenance windows are designed to deliver an optimal customer experience with the release of platform enhancements and new features, while minimizing customer disruption. We’re looking forward to a new year of innovation and taking your planning experience to new heights! ... View more
