certification questions
A page in the Application tab that enables the creation of questions that can be asked upon completing a workflow. Required only when the workflow profile is about to be certified in its entirety but can also be added as an additional task.
certification signoff group
A security property used to provide access to complete sign-off on workflow tasks. This property is on the Profile Properties tab for workflow profiles.
certify
A step in which a user signs off on the data carried through the workflow and answers a specific set of questions. The data is locked after this process is done.

code page
A mapping of bit combinations to a set of text characters. See also encoding.
column templates
The process of gathering data from dependent entities and aggregating the data to parent entities.
composite rule
Used to map conditionally. Dimensional tags can be used to include another dimension in the evaluation.
computed item
A virtual column calculated by the database during a query.
conditional formatting
A formatting feature in cube view used to visually highlight information on any version of the cube view such as PDF, Excel, or data explorer. In OneStream, this can be applied to data, row/column names, and specific member information.
conditional input
An option for writing a rule that can be applied to the cube to further refine the cells that should or should not be estimated.
configurable dimensions
Dimensions available for application specific usage that can be configured for specific needs or requirements. For example, account and user-defined dimensions.
confirmation rules
Logic configured on workflow profiles to run verification checks on data.
connectors
This type of data source provides the ability to import data directly from an external system with no files being required and requires a connector business rule to leverage custom .NET code to integrate directly with a source system through an application programming interface (API).
consolidated file (parent)
A file into which all the business unit files are consolidated; it details the meaning of the consolidation.
consolidation
A system-defined dimension that represents the application's currencies and how entity data rolls up from the local currency to the final numbers that contribute to a parent entity member.
consolidation algorithm type
A cube property that specifys how the share and elimination members are treated when running a data consolidation.

cube data
Data stored within the cubes. This data has been loaded through the workflow, calculated through rules, or entered through forms or journals.
cube point of view
This is the user-defined portion of the point of view pane, which is used to help create the cube and dimension member selections associated with reporting, open cube view definitions, data retrievals, and submissions.
cube references
