The template designer allows you to insert tables based on the provided template and to customise the calculation and appearance for each column.

To open the Design Table window, navigate to the Anaplan XL menu and select Grids & Tables > Template Tables. Once you select the desired template table, choose OK. The Design Table window opens.

The main areas of the Design Tables window are:

  1. Template - The initial design of the table and columns. This controls the formatting of the columns and the required inputs for calculations. Pressing the Apply button will clear the current columns and generate new ones based on the current selections.
  2. Design—The table layout allows you to define Filters that apply to the whole table. It's common to define a Measure and the Current Month in this area. 
  3. Columns - Initially blank, this is populated once you press the Apply button. You can then customize the columns generated.
