We recently had a situation where a user 'locked' their account because they tried to log in multiple times with as a non-SSO user, by providing email address and password, when they were checked as a SSO user in our environment. The result was that their account was 'locked' on the Anaplan side, however we had no visibility into this on our side. We spent alot of time working with our SSO team thinking there was an issue and checking to see if the user was 'Enabled' in our Administration view of the tenant. Ultimately we were only able to resolve the situation working with support and they were the only ones with the visibility into the issue. I propose that in the Administration view of the tenant, we are able to see users that have locked their accounts based on the above scenario and actually unlock the account for them all without contacting support. This would be a huge value add and time saver. ... View more

As we expand our use cases within our org, we are faced with more and more times that we need to calculate a Median within a data set (ex. Revenue, Median Deal Value, Median Salary, etc.). There is a quite elaborate workaround that is posted on the community, which has been a lifesaver, but it takes up to 13 line items to calculate the median value. If you need to see that by a different list (think Median Salary by Region vs Median Salary by Job Function) you are stuck recreating different flavors of those 13 line items, potentially in many modules over and over again. This seems like an incredible amount of overhead for a calculation that is done incredibly simply in excel. As Anaplan moves more into positioning itself as an advanced analytics tool, the ability to calculate the Median via a function/formula will be critical. ... View more

Many of our end users used the classic UX to build reports and views that they would send along to others in the business. They would end up doing this by showing/hiding certain line items/columns and using the pivot features. Unfortunately they cannot do this in boards now. This is a limiting feature for fully adoption. ... View more

In the Classic UX, users were able to view a hierarchy with everything collapsed and then were able to choose which portion of the hierarchy they wanted to view by selecting the (+) expand button on each node. In the new UX, everything starts expanded and has caused our planners to become quite frustrated with the scrolling. Also, when users try to type into a context selector and search for a member, they are forced to scroll to the left because members do not 'left-justify' like they used to in the classic UX when you were searching. This is an adoption issue that is turning planners off to the new UX experience. ... View more

Need the ability for the text box to either flex with what is being typed into the line item or at a minimum have it be larger. At the moment, it is difficult to follow what you are typing into the text formatted line item if you are typing a sentence. Screenshot below. ... View more

There would be a huge amount of value in adding the functionality for the columns to either auto-size or to snap to the length of the text of the column header. This functionality could operate in the same way that excel operates, where you double click on the column divider line and the column auto-sizes to fit the whole line of text. This would especially be helpful when showing a Hierarchy in your rows on a board, as the list member names are usually cutoff. ... View more

The ability to identify a role in Selective Access for a list as opposed to individual users is needed. If you are able to select a role to provision for certain members in a list, you can add users in and out of that role as opposed to individually selecting users that have access to members in a list. This will not only improve maintenance and sustainability but will allow admins to determine who has which access quicker and more efficiently. ... View more

The ability to select whether you want a manual data import saved as an action on the actions tab is requested. The reason being that during development and for sprint review purposes, sometimes test data or files with lists are uploaded to allow clients to visualize the end product. Every time an import is run, an action is created with a name that is difficult to trace as to what it is doing. If an option was provided to just save the imports you want to retain as actions when running an import, it will save cleanup and allow the actions tab to only show true and valid imports. ...

有一个角色列表自动生成和机载激光器e to be leveraged in modules would be very helpful. For example, in certain system/admin modules we assign read/write drivers on partiucular line items. Currently, the users list is leveraged to dynamically change the access via a formula and an import. However, having the ability to use a roles list and being able to leverage that list in an admin/system module controlling security features would be very helpful. ... View more

A client has a need to be able to lock down Budget information in a financial model that has several text formatted line items that contain commentary to justify Budget information. However, after the Budget is completed and Read access is applied to the Version, users cannot click in and see the whole comment in the line item. User's comments are cutoff by the size of the column and this information is needed for future planning tasks. The ability to click into and view the full text of a text formatted line item, after read security is applied, is needed. ... View more

The ability to export the actions in the actions list, specifically for imports would be highly beneficial. For one, it would be a great matrix for the client to retain for documentation. The other benefit of an export is that you would be able to change column width to actually read the source and targets. Right now, you have to copy and paste the data out into excel or somewhere else to view information needed. ... View more

With a data hub model in place, it would be beneficial to run a series of actions or processes, on-demand or via Anaplan Connect, that would take data and lists from the data hub and "push" from the data hub to the downstream models. As Anaplan is architeched and working now, you would need to go to downstream models, either on-demand or through Anaplan Connect, to initiate an action or process to "pull" the data or lists into the downstream model. Enabling or developing this fucntionality would allow for less maintenance points or complexity in the integrations and data movement across models, especially in an environment where a data hub model exists. ...

The ability to freeze the rows or columns when scrolling within a module that has been published to a dashboard. In some instances, when you cannot trim the module to be user friendly on a dashboard and scrolling is required, it is easy to lose your spot as to where you are within the rows or columns of the module. A 'Freeze Panes' type of functionality, as it exists within Excel, would be incredibly helpful and has been requested multiple times by a client. ... View more
