What will happen if a Time Dimension is not specified?

• A. The default Standard Time Dimension Definition will be used
• B. A Custom Time Dimension Definition will be used
• C. The M12_3333_W52_445 Time Dimension Definition will be used
• D. The system will prompt for a Time Dimension

Answer: (A)

When you omit a Time Dimension, OneStream uses the built-in default, the Standard Time Dimension Definition. This provides a ready-to-use calendar structure (years, quarters, months, etc.) so time-based calculations and data organization can proceed without needing a custom setup. If you intended a different setup, you would specify a Custom Time Dimension Definition or a specific named Time Dimension, but without that specification the system defaults to the standard one. The other options describe configurations that require explicit selection or user input, which isn’t necessary because the default is always available.
