Dimensions Overview
A dimension is like a folder used to organize business data in OneStream. It contains members that represent different types of data. For example, the Entity dimension contains members that represent the business units of an organization, and the account dimension members represent the account structure of an organization.
There are configurable and system-defined dimension types. Configurable dimension types are editable, and system-defined dimension types are not editable.
Configurable dimension types include entity, scenario, account, flow, user defined, parent, intercompany, time, and consolidation. See Configurable Dimensions.
System-defined dimension types include origin and view. See System-defined Dimensions.
