User Experience

• Improvements to the end user experience: End users will be able to show/hide Apps/Models and Pages on their home page. This will persist across sessions, making it easier to surface the most important content.

• Grid themes: Choose from a selection of pre-defined grid themes to update the look and feel of your Boards or Worksheets. Check out Anapedia for more information
• Grid summary styles: Highlight sub-totals or totals to make them stand out to emphasize key line items
• Grid font size: Pick font sizes for your grids, making them larger for a high-level summary or smaller to fit more details on the screen
• Image row height: The minimum row height for images in grids has been removed so you can now set the row height small to display small images if required

• Insert the Cards description: When you insert a card as data in Excel, you can now display a list of card details above your card data. This includes:
  • Last refresh date
  • Card name
  • Model name
  • Module name
  • Context selectors

• Preserve Formulas: You can now add Excel formulas to your read-only and read-write connections. This will result in time-savings for users who often push cell changes from Excel to Anaplan and wish to reduce manual steps.

Security

• IP Allow List: This helps users manage permitted IP addresses and programs to safeguard enterprise security. It can also aid in policy control to meet security and compliance requirements across every user. This can help meet requirements with organizations that have policy mandates during sales cycles.

• More control for Page Builders: We are adding the ability for Page Builders to disable, filter, and sort on grid cards in the User Experience. This will allow the page builder finer control over the end user experience

• Updates to the App management experience for Page builders: Page builders will now be able to see pages associated with archived models, and reorder pages and categories within Apps to keep content organized.

• Import slides: Users will have the ability to import slides from another report with a compatible model
