Hi, we had a modeler's forum in London with passionate Anaplan model builders. One of the ideas that came up is to have anniversary badges on Community to celebrate 1-year of having joined the community and so on. Model builders LOVE badges and they will certainly post these on Linkedin so it sounds like a fantastic idea! ... View more

When I add a user to a workspace, an email is automatically generated. 1/ The current content is not suitable - we  need the ability to customise it so people do not contact the person who added them for instance as it may be different from the actual point of contact, and we would like to direct people to content or training on the intranet. 2/ The ability to turn off email notifications as sometimes we add users by error or to a test envrionment for testing purpose and they get all confused by the email. As an administrator, it is my role to tell users that they have access to Anaplan, it is not Anaplan's role. ... View more

It would serve as the "refenrenced by" column, to identify quickly which modules belong to which functional area. This would enable to remove unused functional areas more quickly and identify if some modules are in the wrong area ... View more

Enable WalkMe (https://www.walkme.com/) on Anaplan because as use cases of Anaplan increase in the company, we cannot train individually everyone, or even in groups as this is too time consuming. Even with the new user interface, users will still need to be walked through the system so WalkMe could automate this ... View more

We use imports to update our user list with selective access, but cannot do this when one user can have multiple access, e.g. access to multiple countries in a list, because the line item in the module has to be dimensionned by the list itself and in the list we can only select one item. Alternatively we may run the action once with country A, then change to country B and ruen the import again, but that is time consuming, manual and the module cannot be used for auditing access anymore. ...

After making changes in dev, we could not synchronise them with the production model because the latter model would have been larger than 130GB. This means that we had to turn off / change the newly developed functionalities because we were not able to estimate the size impact of the changes. It would therefore be great to have a way to, when making changes in dev, estimate the size impact in deployed model. Benefit: save time, better space management  ... View more

List A was Structural in dev and prod models. I now want to have list A as production so change it in the dev and sync with Prod. The problem is that as a result I lose my list items in prod model. So when this move from Structural to Production list happens, I would like to be asked whether I want to keep my data as it is in the prod model (keep the list as it is but make it production data) or not. Benefit: that would avoid loosing all my data stored against the list if I decide that a list I have been using for some time has to be changed to Production data. ... View more

Before any synchronisation, the model should be copied and archived automatically so if something wrong happens we have a back-up. Benefit: not loosing all your data when you have synchronised after having changed a list from structural to production ... View more

Content > View > Enable/disable access to hidden content. This functionality is available in production environment whereas it should rather be set in dev and then synchronised with prod.   The fact it can be done in production causes data security issue if it is changed without model builder permission ...

Functionality for users to “Open source module” from dashboards as if users can access modules, they will see all the data. Currently for each single chart or graph we have to manually untick a box to remove this option which is impractical. Same for ability to filter / amend the filter. At user role level, be able to default to no access to this functionality. ... View more

As a model builder and Admin i'm frustrated by the lack of flexibility when it comes to admin rights. 1.) Admin rights should be able to be assigned per model not per workspace, this gives newcomers to the platform a 'safe space' to experiment with model building, writing formulas, inputting data and more without worrying about the security of other modules.   2.) It would be great as an admin, with full access, to have an option to 'view dashboard as user with X permission' as i sometimes won't know who can/can't see elements of a dashboard unless they tell me.   3.) Model admins should be able to see more data and statistics about the model itself and its users, such as last visited model, most viewed dashboard/modules etc. To allow for better, routine, user maintanence, without having to request a full report from Anaplan.   4.)  ...

Our BPs sends us user stats to analyse dashboard usage. However there are meaningless in some instances because of the "refresh dashboard" buttons we have on dashboard which count as one opening whereas that is just a refresh. Would you be able to exclude these refresh actions from the count? Note on the side: how will these stats work with the new UX? ... View more

As per email from Anaplan Support: Currently, for an action uploading data into a Users list, the file is not able to be selected at the start of the action. This file would need to be changed manually in the actions menu by going to Import Data Sources and choose new source. Then pick the file with the same exact name as the file container that exists already. That will overwrite the default file and allow for the import to take place.. This behavior is set this way to avoid things like accidentally deleting a user, adding a user that shouldn't be added, giving incorrect access, etc. This is impractical on a daily basis, especially if people who run this process do not have a WA admin process and if the model is deployed which means we have to make the change in the dev model.   Request to be able to browse a file for user import, just like any other import.   You may want to add extra security to prevent incorrect access - for example the inability to remove access to WAs.   ...
