Hi Everyone! I am adding a CV to an extensible document via an image, but OS cuts the CV and does not show it entirely no matter how small I make it. Anyone knows how to solve this?Thank!! 

Hi Community,I’m working on an Account Reconciliation solution where I need to ensure posted journal entries balances are also included in the Account Reconciliation discovery process. Currently, by design the Discovery process only pulls trial balance information already imported and validated in the Stage. Therefore, I wanted to check if there’s a recommended, or best practice approach, to accomplish this requirement.Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your help!

Good morning OneStream folks.  I was looking for an example of how to dynamically pull the FX rate for an entity based on its current parent.  We currently have a DynamicCalc account that assumes that all parents are USD and therefore the rate returned by the account is the USD translation rate.  For example, the child is GBP and has a CAD parent, but the formula returns GBP-->USD. I was able to get a DynamicCalc formula that works, but I have to make some additions in my QuickView or CubeView to get it work completely.   The account I created in this case is called ParentFX and the logic is below: In order to get the ParentFX account to return the correct value, I have to write my quickview logic as:  A#ParentFX:C#Translated:Name(Parent FX).  Which is fine, but I would also like to use that combo in a getdatacell calculation, and OneStream doesn't seem to like that.  I'd like to be able to pull the A#ParentFX account with it using the Entity

Currently I get the following error when trying to make a data source from an Excel sheet:   As I have tried to narrow the information down due to endless error messages the file looks like this   My question is: Where do I find a description of how to set up a data adapter in Genesis to an Excel sheet.    

Dear Community,   It is very easy for a user to add comments on a given cell, using data attachments : However, what are the reporting possibilities for such comments ? Could we use them in dashboard, for instance to be shown as footnote of a dashboard ? Or could these be used as footnotes in pixel-perfect pdf documents generated from a cube view ?   Many thanks,

I'm trying to create a drill down in a BI Viewer dashboard using only a data set return.  I can add a column (in this case "category") to both the Dimensions and Measures area.  I then enable the drill down under Data > Drill Down, however, once the drill down is active, the Category column is hidden on the output and won't show until you drill into a row.  I want to ability to drill into a row, but a user needs to see the Category column first before drilling. Is there a way for me to drill into a dataset without using "hidden" dimensions and measures for a column?  Also - what is the difference between "Dimension" and "Measure"?  Thanks!   

Below is the screenshot from the genesis guide.  I cannot find this link in Genesis collection in solution exchange.Does this means I need to download/upload each type of content block ONE BY ONE? 

This one is for all you Encyclopedia Brown fans out there.  Like many companies, we have a cash flow cube view.  We've recently added two balance sheet accounts to one of the lines in it, but the values in those accounts do not show up.  Here is the code for the member formula for the Debt Payments cash flow line: If (Not api.Entity.HasChildren()) Then api.data.calculate("A#CF_DebtPymts:F#CF_ACTIVITY:I#None:O#Import = A#DebtCur:F#RF_Debt_ACTIVITY:I#Top:O#Top + A#Debt_LT:F#RF_Debt_ACTIVITY:I#Top:O#Top + A#Cur_equip_fin_liabs:F#RF_Debt_ACTIVITY:I#Top:O#Top + A#LT_equip_fin_liabs:F#RF_Debt_ACTIVITY:I#Top:O#Top") End If The last two accounts, Cur_equip_fin_liabs and LT_equip_fin_liabs are not pulling into the value for Debt Payments even though I've proven via a QuickView that the

Hi OneStream Community,I had a question regarding extracting dimension metadata and properties from OneStream.Currently, when we go to the Dimension Library, apply member filters in the grid view, and then right-click and export to CSV, we can download file containing the metadata along with its properties.I’m trying to find out if there is a way to automate this instead of doing it manually.Ideally, I would like to extract the same information (based on member filters or a specific hierarchy) through something like a Dashboard, Data Management step, or Business Rule, so the export can be automated.Has anyone implemented something similar or know of an approach to achieve this?

Can someone check if there's any mistake in the below 2 lines. I am unable to execute the BR  Dim sourceBuff As DataBufferDim srcED As String = args.CustomCalculateArgs.NameValuePairs("sourceEffectiveDate")Dim selectedScenario = args.CustomCalculateArgs.NameValuePairs("selectedScenario")Dim dmTime = api.Pov.Time.NameDim account = args.CustomCalculateArgs.NameValuePairs("account") sourceBuff = api.Data.GetDataBufferUsingFormula($"FilterMembers(T#{dmTime}:S#{selectedScenario}:U4#Approved_Status:U6#Total_Audit:U7#{srcED}, [A#{account}.Base])")  

Hi everyone,Does anyone know if there is a way to encrypt tables in the Application DB? if yes, how?Thank you for the help!

Hi, For the folks that already did the upgrade from v8 to v9, how was the process and timeline.  Not looking for detailed steps but high level.  Thank you in advance, Praveen

Hi everyone,I am currently using the metadata builder in excel to maintain and keep updated the hierarchies of all dimensions, but I'm having an issue in loading two separate dimensions for UD5.I was planning to build the U5 dimensions as follows:within each dimension, I would have the same base members organized in different hierarchical structures (aka same base members but different nodes between Finance and HR). In Excel, I divided the two dimensions in two separate sheets, because I can reference one dimension at a time in each sheetwhen I load the XML of the first dimension, I have no issues and the dimension loads as expected. If I make a change to the configuration of that same dimension and load the new xml, I still get no issues.The problem arises when I try to load the XML of the second dimension. The error I get is the following:Error processing XML file type 'Metadata'.Error processing XML.The specified member does not belong to the encompassing dimension. 169989, Cos

Hi,  I am trying to create a genesis dashboard that will have a main cv (1105) which shows overview and then when user click on the cell, it will filter another cv (1106) (probably cv basic since it will have navlinks on most dimensions).In client dashboard, it requires the config of setting of user actions in 1105 cv component but I could not find this setting in content block CV Advanced.  I can find it in CV adv embedded.  I assume this is the correct content block to use.I managed to get this function to work when 1105 and 1106 are on different pages.   This means the cv are both setup correctly with navigation links dynamically set up correct. But they cannot be in different pages in Genesis because that means user need to click on cell in 1105 in page 1 and then go to page 2 to see filter results in 1106.  That is too much work for user. ,Thus, I created a dashboard advanced layout and try to insert cv advanced embedded of 1105 in row 1 and then cv b

Hello OneStream Community, I am running into an issue with the ability to complete a workflow with a dashboard button as a test security user.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have a consolidation status dashboard, which is attached to the top-most workflow node for a given month.  My issue is as a test end-user I keep receiving the following error message when attempting to complete the Workspace chevron and move on to the certify step of the workflow.  The security settings for the workflow are very simple, so it's not clear what could be the issue here.Is there another way I could get around this?

Hi What to do when I get this error messages in Genesis:   Unable to open dashboard 'OpenPlace_(Designer)'. Error processing DataSet 'GetWFSteps'. Error executing Workspace Assembly Service class 'Workspace.Gen.CubeViewCharts_x2x.MUAssemblyFactory'.Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'reader'). How to reset? The problem happens when working with Block: Cube View Charts. It will not read my cube view and give the following comment: Value cannot be null. An error messages that is difficult to work with, as it does not say where the problem is. But this second, as I cannot get into the genesis instance.

Below is a screenshot of how the genesis dashboard look like when it is used inside the client.The report on the left is the source cv and report on the right is the drill down details when a cell is clicked on the left.  You can see that there is no taskbar for excel download etc in the left report, even though I have set cv default header to be visible.Both the left and right reports, I am using cv advanced embedded, but the left one is the one with user action "refresh" with click.I used the source cv of the left report as content cv with comments in another page and there is taskbar for excel download.  The only difference between the two of them is content block type and user action.I checked the user guide for cv with advanced embedded, there is nothing written that when user action is selected, the taskbar for excel download etc will be gone within client.How do I get the taskbar for excel etc to appear when using genesis within the client?

Our team would like an enhancement to the Web version of the client (Version 9.0.0) as the Modern Browser Experience does not allow us to use the default pivot grid views we created. The default pivot grid views we created work great in the Desktop version, but they do not work for our Browser version because we exceed the number of allowed default fields. This enhancement would allow our users to save time with the ability to use default views, instead of needing to add in the fields manually each time.

Hi,I can’t get my data import to work with vertical extensibility, and I’d like to understand how this situation is supposed to be handled.In short, the import validation fails on accounts that are extended for an entity. The entity belongs to a cube that is vertically extended from the primary workflow cube. Detailed situationI have extended dimensions and two cubes that use those dimensions.CubeParent contains a parent entity with dimensions applied. The parent entity resides in the parent entity dimension.CubeChild has dimensions that are extended from the parent’s dimensions. The child entity resides in the child entity dimension.As a result, each cube has its own unique entity dimension containing its respective entity.Additional configuration details:CubeChild has Is Top Level Cube For Workflow set to False.CubeParent is the top-level cube and has the Workflow Profile created from it.The child entity has been added as a child of the parent entity in the parent’s entity dimen

I have a requirement to allow users to enter an Annual Plan and spread it across Plan Periods using the spread method they select. Spread Methods are Equal Spread, 4-4-5 Weekly Spread and Manual. When they select "Manual" the cube view should dynamically pick O#Forms as Origin member for Data Entry.I have the Account and Product in rows with member expansion (.Base). Is there a way to retrieve the Base Account and Product from Cube view dynamically and reference in an XFBR?My plan is to get the Spread method chosen for the Base Account and Product combination and Return the Origin as O# Forms for that row?Please share any other ideas if you may have implemented for the same requirement? 

Hello everyone, I am currently working on OneStream v9.2 and trying to set up Ad Hoc reporting in the Web version (OnePlace).Context:I created a Dashboard with a Spreadsheet component exposed in Web (under OnePlace Dashboard).The connection to existing, preconfigured Cube Views is working correctly.Issue:In the Browser version, I do not have access to Quick View / dynamic POV features like in the Spreadsheet WinApp (Excel Add-in).I cannot find the option to perform free-form Ad Hoc analysis (changing axes, selecting members dynamically, etc.).Question:Is this a standard limitation of the Web version (OnePlace) in v9.2?Is there a specific configuration that enables a Quick View–like behavior in Web?Thank you in advance for your feedback and experience.

Hello,I have a question about aligning dimensions of a DataBuffer. I have an unallocated balance that is stored at a specific UD2 base member. This is shown in the log below:The goal is to multiply this amount (82.1097072) by a percentage at the same Account:UD1 combination, but the rate is stored at a U2#None, not at the same U2 as the unallocated percentage:The goal is for these data buffers to multiply and land at the specific U2# from the unallocated amount. (82.106*1.5219) However, since they are at different UD2s, they aren't going to multiply. Given that I need the specific UD2 detail, but the rates aren't stored at the specific UD2s, are there ways to manipulate the databuffer multiplication so this will occur at the detailed UD2?Dim Buffer As DataBuffer =  RateBuffer * UnallocatedBufferThank you! 

We are looking for a load into a financial cube. Mappings are already done in the source system. Is there a way to load records that pass the validation and write the other records to an error protocol.The idea would be that not the whole load is rejected but only records that contain errors, those being written to an error protocol.Many thanks for your support

Our income, liability, equity accounts need to have the flip sign flag checked but our users always forget.  Is there a way to add a pop up when they first get to this screen (after they save it is too late).  

We want to set the IC value to none if an account is not IC.  We are currently doing this in the IC dimension in the datasource and looking up the account, getting the target and then checking If IC.  If it is not IC we pass None as the source value.  This works fine unless they upload a new account because it has not been mapped yet it doesnt know its IC and maps to None.  The user has to reupload the same file after they map the account so that they get an IC value in the source.    I was thinking that I could put a BR on the IC transformation rule but the problem is it reads the 1:1 (where I have the None->None) before it gets to the section for BRs.   I guess I could remove the 1:1 None rule and then in the BR check to see if the account is IC and if so then get the IC target.    I am just curious if there is a better way to handle this that I have not thought of. We have a similar issue as we store function in a user field but w
