I've seen a fair few use cases where users want the ability to see all members of their dimensions and then complete a plan over time for them, but need to reference back to non time based attributes. From a UX perspective it means they have to scroll around the screen to find the 2 modules that hold the attributes and plan to link it together... or worse yet they use a spreadsheet on a separate screen to look at what they need!
I also like the idea of having this sort of control, but I'd want to be sure that the end user has the ability to clearly/easily toggle the syncing.
Implementation solely with respect to time would be a significant value add, but I could also see wanting to sync to almost any other high-cardinality line item or row ID in the right application.
Since then we have launched our new UX, and it is the new standard for building experiences on Anaplan for Planning and Analysis.
There are many other requests on the backlog to continue to enhance/improve the experience, I'm tagging this as "Your support needed". If we see more votes on this it will help get this reviewed and pulled in the Roadmap sooner.
In other words, would be great to be able to avoid this scenario: the time dimension gets disconnected - showing different months on each module -
I believe that original@w_smythe's e request is the same, but using a the same list across rows in two modules, so they remain aligned when scrolling vertically instead of horizontally as is my example.
This will allow us to display for example a lists code in the first column, and then time in the remaining columns without using the awkward show/hide functionality that doesn't work when the time ranges move forward:
These ideas have been merged together. We are currently exploring adding an end user option in the UX to enable users to link two grids to scroll in sync. We will share more updates here as we progress.
