Determines the display of values in whole numbers, tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions.
scenario
A dimension representing a data set that differs by business use, such as actual, budget, and forecast.
scenario type
A property set on scenario dimension members to group scenario members by similar functionality and behavior. There are 24 pre-set scenario types. This property allows for varying dimensional assignments, rules, workflow hierarchies, workflow properties, and certain member properties.
schema
A logical model representing the data and the relationships between the data.
scorecard
A business object showcasing the progress of an employee, strategy element, or accountability element toward goals.
scraping
An inspection of a data source to derive the most basic metadata elements from it.
security
The foundation of authorizing OneStream system products to use security roles, external authentication, and single sign-on.
security group
An object to which users are assigned that enables access to other objects and data.
security roles
A page on the Application tab, under tools, that is used to set application-specific security.
serial calculation
The default calculation setting.
services
Business items to be retrieved, changed, added, or deleted through resources.
shared storage
A set of disks containing data that must be available to all nodes of a failover cluster.
shared workspace pages
Workspace pages shared across an organization that are stored in a special System folder and can be accessed by authorized users from the shared workspace page navigation menu.
sharing rows/columns
A feature within cube views that uses the column or rows from another cube view instead of creating its own. If this row updates in one location, it will update for any shared cube view.
short description
A field providing the flexibility to add abbreviated descriptions to periods of time.
sibling
A child member at the same generation as another child member that also has the same immediate parent.
single point of failure
Prevents users from accessing the normal functionality when a system component fails.
single sign-on (SSO)
The ability to log on once and then access multiple applications without being prompted again for authentication.

Keywords in Microsoft Office applications that are associated with predefined actions available from the Smart Tag menu.
SmartCut
A link to a repository item, in URL form.

Read-only information available from a certain period.
snippets
Used within the business rule editor, it provides code examples and detailed explanations.
software as a service (SaaS)
Provides access to software from the cloud along with maintenance and support for a period of time.
solution blending
This is a form of relational blending that combines cube data with the Application Solution tables. Solutions could be the Specialty Planning Solution Suite, Account Reconciliations, or Transaction Matching.

Tables containing data used in MarketPlace Solutions.
source currency
The currency where values originate is converted through exchange rates to the destination currency.
source ID
A unique identifier for source data defined in the data source as a static value or a source file name using a business rule.
source value
This is the value for the related cube dimension in a defined data field.
sparse dimension
In block storage databases, a dimension that does not contain data for all member combinations when compared to other dimensions.
sparse row suppression
A feature within cube views that provides performance improvements when many non-data records are being queried. This changes how the cube view runs by initially evaluating the data unit first to determine the full population of data generated.
specialty cube
A cube design used for a specific purpose showing basic dimensionality and containing small data sets.
SPF files
Printer-independent files created by an SQR Production Reporting server, containing a representation of the actual formatted report output, including fonts, spacing, headers, and footers.
spot rate
The exchange rate at a designated time.
spotlighter
A tool enabling color coding based on selected conditions.
spreadsheet
A feature providing Excel Add-in functionality without Excel being installed. This tool exists within the OneStream application and has limited Excel functionality.
stage
An application table that holds all the source fields before they are mapped into OneStream dimensionality and loaded into the cube. This contains the fields designated in the data sources.
stage blending
A form of relational blending that combines cube data with data in the stage tables such as attributes or imported data.
stage table
A staging area containing imported data or attributes; typically transactional data that is retrieved for analysis when required.
StageBiBlendTable
Used to store information from the BI Blend tables. This table adds information and the mapping errors.
standard reports
A tab within the Application properties where the PDF version of a cube view configures at a higher level. This controls things like report colors, logos, and fonts for headers and footers.
star schema
A relational representation of multidimensional structures.
static value
An override setting, which allows a hard-coded value to be assigned to a dimension rather than being read from a file or data source.
status bar
The bar at the bottom of the screen that displays helpful information about commands, accounts, and the status of the data file.
stored calculation
A persisted calculation executed as part of the data unit calculation sequence.
stored hierarchy
A hierarchy in which the members are aggregated according to the outline structure.

Shows a subject in the simplest form of elements of data or information items.
structured query language (SQL)
A language used to process instructions to relational databases.
structured query language spreadsheet
