We're excited to have launched some great new features this month, including updates to Management Reporting and New Modelling capabilities.

Released in March

User Experience

  • Worksheet builder usability update :
    • We have improved the usability of updating the settings on the primary grid of a Worksheet by moving the settings from a dialog to the right hand panel. This makes configuring the worksheet grid more efficient for the builder saving time and is also consistent with other Grid card settings.
    • As part of this we have also added a new setting to the primary Worksheet grid to enable the builder to disable cell editing on the grid.
  • Management Reporting- PDF export update: We have updated the Management Reporting pdf export so the report filename generated now matches the name of the report page.

Modeling Experience

  • Formula indentation for preview mode: View and read formulas with “IF THEN ELSE” blocks more easily with automatic indentation formatting when opening the formula editor with valid formulas. Simply open formulas in preview mode in the formula editor to access the functionality. Check out this demo video here.
  • Enhanced navigation bar: Easily view and navigate to individual modeling interfaces with an expandable navigation bar that better informs and guides users where to go. Work with different browser heights as the menu automatically collapses to avoid scrolling.

Extensibility

  • Anaplan Transactional APIs
    • Metadata API to return detailed metrics on Line Items in Anaplan model to enforce model governance
    • Metadata API reset numbered list index to automate the data loading process

Targeted for April

Collaboration

  • In-Product notifications for scheduled maintenance windows: We’re enhancing our collaboration capabilities to more directly share information about planned events, such as scheduled maintenance windows or releases. We’re excited to announce that in-product notifications for all Anaplan planned downtime releases is targeted to launch in April 2022. With in-product notifications, we’ll be able to more proactively and directly alert our users about planned events with a single source of truth. This gives our users a simple way to gain greater visibility into upcoming planned downtimes, so they can plan accordingly and maximize the value of their time spent working in Anaplan.

Extensibility Updates

  • Transactional APIs: Large volume read APIs allow customers to export any-sized data from Anaplan modules and lists . They can effectively replace the Export actions that we have now. These are our follow-up to our limited volume data read Transactional APIs that could read up to 1M cells from a module or 1M items from a list. These large volume  APIs will be ideal for larger data loads and will be eventually supported by our wide range of connectors. We will be releasing large volume read APIs that will allow users to:
    • Trigger large volume List read
    • Monitor large volume List read tasks
    • Download pages from large volume List read
    • Clear up intermediate space (an explicit Delete call)

Upcoming scheduled maintenance:

  • April 9: Platform offline: Infrastructure update
  • April 23: Platform offline: Infrastructure update
