in Security

I'm excited to see new collaboration features coming to the platform but the lack of context being applied to comments makes them not very useful and will require very specific training and notice for users to make sure they do not share sensitive information with other users. A specific example is incentive compensation where your selective access is specific to your own pay. Since everything else in Anaplan is context-driven, a user could very easily comment on the card thinking it was specific to the context selection and not just associated with the card. 

 

A few features that would address the security concern here:

  • Have comments context-driven
  • Allow the comment option to be turned off
  • Allow a user to delete their comments
  • Provide instruction that the comment is for the card in general and all users with access to the card will see it

    @Misbah thanks for the follow-up comment. We had done some testing internally the moment it came out and we were not seeing the comments sync to the context selectors but it does appear to be doing so now. I just did some further testing and it appears that it syncs based on dimensions pivoted as selectors but not if you click on the dimensions within the grid. It also seems to have inconsistent results with the page sectors but I will need to conduct further testing.

    Currently do not have feature to delete the comments. Adding this feature will help to manage comments as whole.

    Firstly, I should say that I'm very new to Anaplan. Nonetheless, I should say that I find the context-specific comments unworkable - how do you know which set of context selections were active when a comment was placed? I think the whole system should be made very much more straightforward:

    1. Access to Comments restricted to 'Page Designers' only (that simple)
    2. You comment on a card and other Page Designers see the comment you made, regardless of context
    3. You can delete (and/or maybe edit?) your own comments if you want to

    Thanks for the reply, Emily - I've posted my suggestion as a new Idea
