label

This will read the value or text from the file or data source defined in the position settings.

large sparse data

A situation where there are many data points required for an implementation, but it is not evenly distributed across the multi-dimensional model.

layer

The horizontal location of members in a hierarchical structure, specified by generation (top down) or level (bottom up). The position of objects relative to other objects.

legend box

Holds tags that classify data groups of a dimension.

level

Defining database member relationships through a layer in a hierarchical tree structure.

level 1 data unit

A combination of dimensions, such as entity, parent, consolidation, scenario, and time, and the stored data records for combinations of these dimensional interactions within a cube.

level 2 data unit

Builds on the level 1 data unit by adding account dimensions, increasing the granularity of the data unit and decreasing the unit of work. Data is cleared, locked, and loaded by the level 2 data unit.

level 3 data unit

Builds on the level 2 data unit by adding on a single user defined dimension, increasing the granularity of the data unit and decreasing the level of work. This is implemented using workflow channels.

liability account

Account type that stores balances for a point in time and represents a company's liabilities.

lifecycle management

The journey of moving an application, data, or information across product atmospheres.

link

A reference to a repository object. The point where the activity in one stage ends and another begins.

link condition

A logical expression is assessed by the task flow engine to control the order of starting and moving stages.

linked cube

A commonly used cube design that enables flexibility using vertical extensibility through the parent/child relationship. See also super cube.

linked cube views

A design tactic within cube views that allows a cube view to be run from the cell of another. This displays additional or lower-level detail at runtime. You can do this by right-clicking on a cube view cell.

list rule

This allows the creation of a delimited list of members that all map to the same target. For example, 1000;1100;1200 = 1000.

literal value

The only parameter type that does not prompt at runtime. This stores a given value and is used to hold cube view and dashboard formatting that can be referenced.

load/extract

A tool used to import and export data to and from OneStream.

local currency

The currency that data will be entered in for an entity.

local report object

A report object not connected to a financial reporting report object in Explorer.

local results

Query results of a data model.

location alias

A descriptor identifying a data source, such as a server, application, database, username, and password.

lock

A process where a workflow profile is no longer updated by the user and data cannot be entered for the workflow profiles assigned entities.

locked data model

A model that cannot be changed by a user.

locked status

A consolidation status indicating an entity contains data that is locked for the specified period.

logical expression

Term for the business rule assigned to the dimension when the business rule is selected for the logical operator.

logical web application

An aliased reference used to identify the internal host name, port, and context of a web application.

lookup

A configurable, versatile transformation rule that can be used as a table for formulas, business rules, or a simple lookup.

loop

An item that can be added to a OneStream report book to print out multiple versions of a report for a set of members.
