Hi, I am new to Onestream, and have finally gotten used to the cube views.   My question is if there is somewhere that I can be pointed to for any sample dashboards or tutorial on how to create dashboards.   I have used the guided reporting, which is good for cube views, but cannot figure out the dasboarding.

Dear Community, For one of my project I need to get the values of a given cube view as a data table within my business rule. I can fairly use the FdxExecuteCubeView which will give me this kind of output :   Cube Entity Local Scenario Time YTD Account None Top None None None None None None None None None 22.86874 21.68644 1.182297 5.451777   while my cube view is only showing accounts in rows and time in columns. One of the problem here is that I don't get the columns headers for the values ... So my question is : is there a way to get an data extract in a form of a data table directly from a cube view with the same rows & columns headers only ?   Many thanks and happy holidays !

Been searching for a while on the forums and knowledge base and documentation - maybe I'm not searching with the right text because I'm sure we can't be the only ones to deal with this. In a multi-tabbed dashboard, we have a button on each tab to 'Refresh CubeView' which is supposed to refresh the current cube view. The button is connected to a "Selection Changed User Interface Action" and the action selected is "Refresh" with a number of dashboards listed to be refreshed. Our problem is that when the Refresh Button is clicked on, after refreshing, the focus takes the user away from their current tab and re-selects the first tab in the dashboard. Does anyone know if there's a way to control this so that the focus remains on the current tab?

We have a lot of Cube Views and most of them have multiple validations some of which are quite complex.We also want to use Confirmation Rules to check that these Cube View validations have been cleared. The prospect of duplicating the Cube View validations in Confirmation Rules is not pleasant so we are looking for alternatives. We were thinking of adding a summary validation to every Cube View in the same place and then (somehow) saving that single value to an account with a split on UD6 for the Cube View. That would mean the Confirmation Rules are very simple to write. The question is can you save a value calculated on a Cube View to the Cube? The FormsEventHandler only references data that has been input (happy to be corrected on that). Suggestions on how to do this or a completely different approach are very welcome. Thanks

Hello, Has anyone used the DataManagementEventHandler business rule before and identified the CalculationType of the DM (i.e. Force Calculate, Consolidate...)? And also the Data Unit and the POV of the DM? Colud anyone share an example? Thanks in advance,

I have a dashboard that has 2 components,. 1. A Combo Box that is populated with a sql query in a Bound List Parameter. 2. A Spreadsheet that is populated with a Table View.   The table view is generated using a Spreadsheet Business Rule. How do I pass the selection from the combo box to the table view?   Thank you for any suggestions.

I am having an issue with cash flow report taking last month's (ie Dec 2022) value to aggregating it to the year to date (ie 2022), ignoring other months (... Oct, Nov, ). Does the account type get affected by the view dimension, whether periodic or YTD?  Or this might be affected by other settings in the dimension. The scenario settings for the Forecast for Input View for Adjustment are periodic, similar to No Data Zero View for Adjustments and Nonadjustments.

Hi all, We are running "force calculate" step to perform force calculation of 80% base entities  . It runs for 4-6 hours. How to improve performance , any way run this in multi thread/parallel by entity (servers are hosted by OneStream) ? Thanks!

Could you please provide a sample script with example  to Generate the base mambers of UD2 dimension into a Variable. I'm trying to follow the below syntax, but it's not working for UD Dimensions Dim baseMembers As List(Of Member) = api.Members.GetBaseMembers(entityDimPk, entityId, Nothing) Appreciate your assistance.

Hi, we are using a Central Load workflow to load trial balances for ~1,500 entities(set up as unrelated entities).  There are then approx 50 "Central Import" workflows where Entities are assigned and specific work is performed.  The central load file pulls all entities and will be loaded at least daily.  There are going to be cases when one workflow is certified and another still needs to be reloaded.  The import, however, fails in order to avoid loading data to a certified Entity.  Looking for any help on settings or BR to bypass already certified entities. Thanks

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Does anyone have any tips or best practices to make it clearly visible when an admin is in Production vs. Development? Obviously next to user name we can see Production or Development, but other than that one word, they look identical. I’m thinking of something like a big red “DEV” logo at the top ribbon next to OneStream XF or something similar to that.

1. Why is the "Total number of stored records" same across all months for one year ?  

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Hi - I am trying to create a journal entry summary report, and am able to get most of my data from the application tables, however the created by, submitted by, etc user data are all just the unique identifiers, and not actual user names. Currently I only know of user names being kept in the Framework database location, in the SecUser table (or similar ones). Is there specific syntax I can use that will allow me to read from that database location (Framework) while running an SQL query capturing the rest of my data in the application database location through a dashboard data adapter? Or does this need to be done using a business rule to combine two tables? Thanks.

I have a report book that loops through over 200 members and creates a new cube view for each member. The cube view is relatively short and I could definitely fit 2 on one page. Does anyone know of a way to get multiple cube views to fit on one page of a report book?

Can anyone offer any help when using View = Quarter Average on for example January 2023 data when the quarter being referenced is not yet complete?  It seems that the View will not work until the quarter is fully populated.
