我很感激在我的职业生涯中最重大的一件事the Anaplan Community. Not just in the sense of this technical website — community.anaplan.com. If it weren’t for all of the people willing to share their knowledge, support others’ growth, and challenge ideas, I wouldn't be in business as an independent consultant. In this spirit and with the upcoming U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, today I highlight all of the ways you can give back to the Community. This list isn't only for Certified Master Anaplanners or even Certified Model Builders — everyone can give back in this Community. You don’t have to have a shiny badge or a special title! Just a little experience, maybe a bruise or two from tripping over something when working on a model, and the willingness to help others on a challenge you have experienced. Five ways you can give back in the Anaplan Community Reply to questions in the Platform forums. The fastest, most on-demand way to give back is to reply to all of the great questions from Anaplanners in the Community forums. I frequently surf the Platform forum in hopes of finding questions I can answer, or follow-up questions to ask in replies. More often, I find myself learning something new. A question never goes unanswered for long, so set up email alerts and a special folder in your inbox to keep up with the wild amount of knowledge being shared on the forum. Write an article on something you learned. Everyone has unique knowledge that has yet to be written about in Community in the blog or How To sections. Even if you are a very new model builder, I encourage you — as you learn — to look for ways to share this knowledge back into the Community. I’ve recently been searching for documentation on how to handle annual transitions on product models in Anaplan. If anyone knows of an article like this, I can’t wait to read it. Otherwise, be on the lookout for an article from me coming soon! Mentor a new Anaplanner. I can confidently say this is my favorite thing to do. Watching people grow and upskill in this career path brings back the feelings I had when first learning the platform. Seeing the light bulb go off for folks experiencing an “a-ha!” moment is a sweet reward in exchange for the patience this giving method requires. Host a networking event. No experience or special permission is required for this one. All you have to do is set up a Zoom link, create an event on LinkedIn, and show up. Or, if you are excited about seeing people in person again, reserve a space at your favorite bar/restaurant/coffee shop/local library! Participate in an Anaplan-hosted event. This doesn’t require giving a big presentation. Consider assisting with a booth (in-person) or helping with a breakout session (in-person or virtual). At Anaplan Live! in 2019, I helped organize and hand out gear at the Certified Master Anaplanner booth. This was an excellent way to meet other Master Anaplanners and hear about the awesome projects they were working on. There are so many opportunities for all of us to do more to get involved! This list is a call to action. I am looking forward to contributing in additional ways, and I hope you'll join me in sharing knowledge and supporting the growth of other model builders. Leave a comment, and share how you’re giving back to the Anaplan Community or in other ways! ... View more

It would be really helpful to see the count of list members that are included in a line item subset. The only way I can do this is to make a "Master" list with just the subset and a line item called "Count" and see what the total is, but this takes up unnecessary space. But it would be nice to simply go to the list, click on the subset tab, and see the list member count readily available. ... View more

I've always been told as best practice to not edit formulas for line items directly in the formula column of blueprint view, instead to click on the line item and then activate the formula bar on the top of the page. However, we recently had a new model builder, who had not yet heard about this best practice, copy and paste a formula into the formula column instead of activating the formula bar, pasting the formula, and hitting enter. The system actually took the formula, even though there was an error in it. This error was able to be pushed to production, and caused quite a bit of disruption for the users. Attached are details about the specific situation. The scary part: we don't necessarily know where there could be other issues with mismatched source and target conditions similar to this one until users experience a disruption in prod unless we test the whole set of dashboards in this model. My thought/idea: why do we allow for people to even edit this formula column if there could be such significant issue when it is edited directly instead of using the formula bar? I'd like to suggest that we don't allow people to edit the formula column to prevent these cases, since editing it is against best practice and can cause such a disruptive issue to occur ...

When importing a large file during a Process on Pages, I'm required to first attach the file, and then wait for the attached file to finish uploading to Anaplan, and then I have to come back to the action to run it. However, in the original UX, this is all one process. Having this as a two-step process is preventing us from moving some of our Data Hub dashboards to the new UX because it doesn't work when the file is large. It would be best to move this back to a one step process in consideration that admins may load larger files manually ... View more

For situations where a user may wish to move models around for sizing reasons, it would be really helpful to see the size of all active models in the administration space. This would help anyone looking to rearrange models to ensure they can fit a model they'd like to move into the new workspace, or so they may find a workspace with the right amount of space for said model. This would be much easier than reviewing each workspace individually to determine size. ... View more

我想看到的能力,在蓝图模式odule, whether a line item is used in an action. This, along with an existing Idea requesting to see if a line item is used as a filter for a Saved View, would significantly speed up model clean-up time ... View more

Hi! I would like to be able to pull information about the date/time when a cell is update. Example: If I tick a Boolean field called Final Position to mark a deal as ready to be contracted, I'd like to have an associated Final Position Date automatically fill in with the date that this cell for the deal was ticked ...

The message received when trying to drill down onto a cell which references a large list is as below. Instead, can there be a enhancement to add the grid filtered down to the first 100 rows so that users can continue troubleshooting in the Drill Down window? Thanks! Cannot display grid for line item too many cells to display (42970) ... View more

I would like the ability to copy a dashboard from the "Dashboards" area under Model Settings. This would provide more consistency to model builders. Right now, I have to open the dashboard and copy from the dashboard from the user dashboard menu, which isn't quite as intuitive. ... View more

当我深入到一个数值计算,I want to see the full numeric value of the source cells that play into the calculation. Right now, I only see the rounded value based on the Number format that I have set for the cell. It would also be helpful to, as a user in a dashboard, hover over a value that has been rounded based on the Number format in order to see the full numeric value. This would help business processes in order to more efficiently investigate how a value was calculated while still providing a user-friendly display of values on a dashboard. The hover-over of the full value allows users to more clearly see the true value that plays into a calculation. See attached for example. ... View more

I would like the ability to use a function that allows me to search for the nth time a character or string of characters occurs in a concatenated key. Currently, we import text string keys from source systems and derive business information from these strings. For instance, we might have the transaction key Customer123_ProductQ_RegionSW_PeriodQ1 (123_Q_SW_Q1). However, the customers, products, regions, or periods might not have the same text length every time/different variables might have the same text (if Product is SW and Region is SW), which makes using a combination of RIGHT, LEFT, MID, FIND, etc embedded in each other complex/difficult to maintain in order to extract this information to columns. However, if I were able to have a function like NthOccurrence(Name(Item('TransactionKey')), "_", 2) to find the beginning position of Region, our formulas would be clearer/easier to maintain. ...
