L
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

lifecycle management

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.
