Right now, you are only able to pull values from one module per text card when using dynamic text. It would be great to have the ability to pull values from multiple different modules into one text card.
I need a function of changing color of the header like red,green...(Now only blue) Because I change color depend on the model to prevent making mistakes. (Ex. Blue for developing model,Red for Production model...like that.) I hope this function will be released as soon as possible.
When you un-check “Notify user when added to workspaces” for a person it should persist. Currently when you close and then come back into Anaplan “Notify User when added to workspaces” is re-checked for that person.
Most modern websites use Cmd+K/Ctrl+K to open spotlight with quick actions or search. Anaplan uses Cmd+Shift+F/Ctrl+Shift+F. I believe that in future this window will be more than just a search so it needs to move from "search" hotkey to "spotlight" hotkey. It will greatly improve model building workflow and increase…
I would like the ability to have increased options for filtering a board in the page builder mode. We currently can filter rows or columns with options like "Show items that match: > Contains/ Starts with/ Ends with" I would like to have options like "Show items that match: > Does not contain/ Does not start with/ Does not…
When changing format options to a row/column, it would be helpful to mass apply options to multiple rows/columns at once, saving time instead of changing the options for each line.
When using delta/variance on percentages, some numbers require custom formats such as p.p. (percentage points). There is no native option for that, requiring customized modules.
Adding more formatting options to grid line items would be helpful, such as text indentations and aliases.
Would be helpful to freely reorder chart subtitles. The only option nowadays is to change the selected order on the view, but that messes up the numbers/lines priorizations.
Would be great to have an option to remove Axis Labels or lines in chart cards for cleaner visualizations of charts.
Hi all, just as the title suggested. I am looking for some Anaplan APIs to provision selective access to user and update their model role. I have come across SCIM API that work on Workspace level but can't seem to find one for Model level (or maybe I am missing something). Need some assistance regarding this. Thank You.

Hi all, Bit of a complex one here. The application use case is calculating the Minimum Variance Efficient Portfolio for those familiar with Finance / Portfolio Management.

Looks like you no longer need to do app management at a super granular level (time consuming and frustrating) but can do it at a User Role level for add, delete, override. Not sure how long it's been live but have only noticed it in the last couple of days. Here's the Anapedia…
Hi, I'm currently working on a "map-chart page" in NUX, and I'm experiencing issues with the scaling. My map is dimensioned with "world" and I'm using a hierarchy filter. So, when I for example pick the Nordics in the context selector this is what I see in the map card, but the map is not adjusting to the size of the card.…
Hello All, I'm working on developing my current model with the Optimizer to add some levels of complexity.

Working: 'OPT04…
