What is the main building block of reports within OneStream?

• A. Data Grids
• B. Forms
• C. Cube Views
• D. Spreadsheets

Answer: (C)

The data source structure that drives every report in OneStream is defined by Cube Views. A Cube View specifies a slice of the cube: which dimensions (like Accounts, Entities, Time, Scenario) are included, which members and measures are brought in, and how the data should be arranged into rows and columns. Reports, grids, and spreadsheets pull their numbers from these views, so Cube Views are the foundational construct that determines what data is available and how it’s presented. Once created, a Cube View can be reused across multiple reports and parameterized for different contexts, ensuring consistent data retrieval and formatting. While Data Grids, Spreadsheets, and Forms are ways to display or input data, they rely on Cube Views as the underlying source.
