dashboard
A collection of information providing an interactive summary of the organization's business.
dashboard components
An item created within a Dashboard Maintenance Unit representing any visual component the user will see at runtime, such as charts, graphs, files, and buttons.
dashboard dataset rule
Creates a custom data table to source a parameter or query a OneStream database table or external table to source a report.
data access (slice security)
An additional layer of security used to lock down dimensions at a more granular level. Data Access is a tab within cube properties.
data adapters
An item within a Dashboard Maintenance Unit that queries data populating dashboard components.
data cell security (slice security)
The practice of limiting a user's access to data to a specific set of data intersections.
data entry
Input of data, text, or information into a system.
data explorer
The initial view of a cube view when it is run.
data form
Viewing and analyzing data, information, and text in a grid format that enables the user to enter data into the database from a web browser.
data input
Input of data, text, or information into a system. See also data entry.
data management export sequence
A data source where data is copied from one place into another through the import step of a workflow profile. These sequences require using a data management sequence containing a data management step for exporting data.
data management job
Used to run a range of processes in a report, such as calculations, consolidations, translations, or customer calculate jobs.
data sources
A page in the Application tab where artifacts can be created that translates source data and fields into a OneStream Dimensionality file.
data structure type
A property defining the source file structure, which could be tabular, matrix, or enabling for Excel templates to be loaded.
data unit
A representation of the culmination of work tasks for loading, clearing, calculating, translating, storing, and locking data with the OneStream Multidimensional Engine.
Data Unit Calculation Sequence (DUCS)
A series of steps occurring each time a calculation or consolidation is run on the cube.
database connection
A file containing descriptions and assets that link data sources and permit database references to be used in multiple areas.
database sparsity
The measure of data being sparsely populated across dimensions. It is the result of the ratio of data record volumes created in the cube compared to the dimension model in a cube.
debit
A debit-based account is typically an expense or an asset.
default currency unit
The unit scale of data.
default profile
A workflow profile generated when a cube root profile is created. This profile cannot be deleted because it establishes the relationship between the workflow hierarchy and the entity members within the cube that the cube root workflow profile was created to control.
default scenario
Accessed from the Profile Properties tab for a workflow profile, this is used to assign a set of default properties to a workflow profile.
delimited files
Data files containing data separated by a unique character, such as a comma, semi-colon, or another character.
delimited list
A type of parameter that prompts at runtime for a designated list of items. This uses a comma-separated list that is keyed in by the parameter creator.
dense dimension
A dimension likely to contain data for every combination of dimension members.
deprecated form
A previously used form that is no longer being used.
derivative rule
Logic applied to stage data. The output is to generate additional records in the stage environment.
destination
Calculated values are stored in a structured database; the relationship between source and destination in the allocation model controls the direction of allocated costs or revenue flow.
destination currency
The currency where values are converted using exchange rates from source currencies.
dimension
A data category used to organize business data for retrieving and preserving values.
dimension assignments
A tab within the cube that allows dimensions created in the dimension library to be assigned per cube and scenario type.
dimension hierarchy
Structures that organize and define the relationships between members within a dimension. An example of a hierarchy is a financial statement hierarchy.
Dimension Library
An Application tab component used to create, modify, and view dimensions, hierarchies, associated members, and properties.
dimension properties
Properties pertaining to the dimension.
dimension type
Categories of dimensions, such as accounts, flow, and user-defined dimensions, containing certain functionality, properties, and associations for each type. Dimension types refer to the general category of dimensions where dimensions of each type are created to contain the details within each. For example, account dimension type may contain Accounts_Main and Accounts_Detail dimensions.
direct load
A performance-focused, configurable feature on the workflow import profile that imports data to the cube in-memory, does not store record details, and targets Finance Engine Cubes. This omits storing to stage.
DONOTUSE Structure
A recommended practice of moving the default profile in a workflow hierarchy below a review profile named DONOTUSE, as a reminder that the default profile should never be modified.
drill-down
Navigation through the query result set using the dimensional hierarchy.
drill-through
The navigation from a value in one data source to corresponding data in another source.
drill back
A feature in OneStream set up through a connector rule. This enables querying data that is loaded. You can view documents and web pages.
drill to dashboards
A feature similar to linked cube views. It allows a dashboard to run from the cell of a given cube view by right-clicking on the cell.
drill to source data
The act of viewing the source data from a cell of cube data. During a drill back, you can view the source data and its dimensions behind the base-level cube data. Data must be imported through the workflow first.
drivers
Accounts or non-financial items used as the basis for calculations, for example, headcount as a driver of salary and benefits expenses.
duplicate alias name
A name that occurs more than once in an alias table and can be associated with more than one member in a database outline.
duplicate member name
Multiple occurrences of a member name in a database that represent different members.
dynamic Excel load
A property allowing an Excel file to be imported to the stage without configuring the data source.
dynamic member list
A system-created list based on pre-defined criteria named through a member set.
dynamic report
Real-time reports showcasing updated information when run by the user to sort through data.
dynamic time series
Period-to-date reporting in block storage databases that is processed.
