Step 3 - Import the Anaplan Audit Workflow Template
🔍 What You’re Doing
Section titled “🔍 What You’re Doing”Your datasets are built and tagged, so the last step is to stand up the Workflow itself. Rather than assembling the audit pipelines by hand, you import a prebuilt workflow template: a configuration file carrying the supporting and output Pipelines, every transformation in them, the Mapping Group definitions, and the list of Datasets the Workflow requires.
Applying it produces the same result every time. There is no prompt to write and no AI configuration step, so the pipelines that took several rounds of authoring to get right arrive already built. Your only job is matching a Dataset to each requirement the template declares.
