When a user is attempting to import data directly from another Anaplan module, they need to be able to use an identifier (code or link vs. the display name of the field) to ‘connect’ the records.  For example:  When a user exports from a ‘source’ Anaplan module, the user has the ability to export the ‘code’ or ‘list link item’ for a specific item.  However, that ability does not exist when the user connects directly to the Anaplan module.  The user has to create a new/separate field to store either the ‘code’ or ‘list link’.  Success would be that the import and export options function similiarly, in that the system knows to bring along the 'code' or 'list link' and store it with no setup. ...

As a model builder, I would like to have the ability to insert a "No Data" row, or something similar, that does not require a Line Item name.    I would know that I am successful when I could insert rows into a module (e.g. P&L) to break up the data and provide viewing cues as to seperation between data groupings (e.g. line items under Operating Expenses).   The challenge today is that without the "white space" rows, a detailed P&L can look like a list of Line Items and not something that is formatted for executive level consumption/presentation. ...
