Anaplan L1 Test 1
Study online at https://quizlet.com/_8f2tam
1. Components of Anaplan platform are: Workspace, Model, Lists, Modules, Line
items, User Experience
2. Models: are held in Workspace, a full business use case’issue that an Anaplan
model is built to address
3. Lists: entered once and used thorughout the mode
4. Lists are: Dimensions / Hierarchies / Versions / Time
5. Modules are: multidimensional home for data
6. Dimensions include: lists, hierarchy, versions, time
7. Data in modules is displayed in grid format similar to spreadsheet with an
important difference:: Modules can hold more than just 2 dimensions.
8. Modules work together to form a: model.
9. Line Items: are included in modules; they hold data - raw data and results of
calculations; they are measures (eg. Unit cost, margin..)
10. User Experience (Dashboards): the user interface into the model; also allow
for data entry by user
11. Basic building blocks of Anaplan: Central library, Engine, User experience
12. Central library: holds the lists. These can be referred to multiple times in model
- a change made to the list flows to all places within the model where the list is used.
Also holds dimensions, such as time and versions.
13. Engine: is made up of modules which are similar to spreadsheets this is where
all business logic is applied and calculations are performed using the lists and
dimensions from Central library.
14. Types of modules that make up Engine: Input modules - provide the data used
in calculations
calculation modules - which include your business logic
output modules - contain outcomes of calculation modules
15. As opposed to spreadsheet, which is cell based, anaplan is: Line item based
within the context of different dimensions.
16. In a spreadsheet you enter formula in each cell, in anaplan you: enter the
formula once in a line item - that line item respects every cell intersection with every
dimension that it comes in contact with.
17. What does PLANS stand for: Performance, Logical, Auditable, Necessary,
Sustainable
18. Standard approach to building modules in Anaplan - DISCO: refers to the
types of modules and their purpose within a model. Data, Input, System, Calculation,
Output
19. Time: is one of the built-in dimensions of anaplan
20. Where do you set the time/calendar?: Model Settings ’ Time ’ Model Calenda
(can be used for custom time setting eg.fFinancial year)
