How does IdeaStream work?
IdeaStream is where members submit enhancement requests and feature suggestions for the OneStream platform. You can vote on ideas from other members and track the status of each one. Signing in is required to submit ideas and vote.
What are virtual user groups?
Virtual user groups are live, peer-led groups organized by region, topic, or product area. Members share how they solve problems and learn how others do. Visit the Groups page after signing in to find a group that fits you.
How do badges and recognition work?
Members earn badges and ranks for contributing to the Community, such as asking and answering questions and sharing ideas. Your badges and rank appear on your public profile.
I already use AI tools for OneStream questions. Why join?
AI tools are a good way to get oriented, but they can only work from what is publicly available. They cannot see member-only content such as IdeaStream, Product Updates, or user group conversations. In the Community, experts and peers respond to your actual setup, ask follow-up questions, and share what worked for them.
