Nice article @PhilippErkinger - it sounds like you have been listing to our conversations saying 'we need to capture the Why, not necessarily the What'. Ensuring adequate time for documentation as part of any sprint is critical - what if the key model builder won the lottery tomorrow - how do we ensure knowledge isn't lost for the organization? 🤑 Notes and Tooltips in Anaplan are definitely a helpful feature, as are dedicated dashboards to provide guidance to both users and administrators alike. Personally, I think that the more documentation that can be centralised in the Anaplan platform the better - it provides a seamless experience and helps business teams drive efficiency.  Frequently we hyperlink to Wiki/Confluence pages, or videos to provide additional materials if necessary. As these are cloud-based, they can be updated easily. ... View more

Agree, @Miran  can you please review the duplicate topics and consolidate? It looks like there are more than 80 people supporting this across separate topics. ... View more

Furthermore, this should include API functionality for Archive, and Change Model Status (locked, standard etc.) too.   Where an organization many models, and wants to automate model management, including this functionality, would allow for significant efficiency gains. ... View more

Hi Josh,   I assume you mean icons such as this -  ✅   As mentioned above, there are some incompatibilities across different browsers which can introduce usability issues; hence it can be sensible to stay away from these despite them enhancing the UX for a time period.   Most model builders copy and paste them from a site such as https://emojipedia.org/search/?q=tick   I do notice that some Anaplan built models include this functionality however best stay clear if you'd like to avoid future re-work of dashboards.. ...

Completely agree with the above. A lot of model builders come from a world familiar with MS Excel which is still dramatically better in the formula writing area than Anaplan is currently when it comes to ease of use. ... View more

I think that a Viewer workspace admin may not be the best solution here, however having more granularity access controls from an Administrator perspective would be beneficial, allowing for roles to have 'Read/Write' controls on Admin features to provide flexibility for support.  ... View more

Hi Jerry,   Creative thinking - I like it!   One consideration with this is that the core you will be assigned will likely change, meaning a permanent, hard-coded link with https://us2a.app.anaplan.com/core10112/.... etc. could be quite risky - what do you think?   I think as a feature request this would be helpful, as well as being able to create dashboards that pull data from views across multiple models. This would mean for example, you could have Workforce planning and P&L impact on the same Dashboard, without the need for duplication.   Cheers, Nick  ... View more
