Which dimension type can only be edited before the application has been created?

• A. Parent
• B. Intercompany
• C. Time
• D. Consolidation

Answer: (C)

In OneStream, the calendar structure—the time dimension—defines which periods exist, how fiscal years start, and how months and quarters are organized. This calendar underpins every time-based calculation, reporting, and data mapping across the application. Because changing it after the application is created would ripple through and disrupt historical data, period mappings, and consolidation logic, the time dimension is fixed once the app is in use. The other dimensions handle hierarchies, intercompany mappings, and consolidation groupings, and while they can be adjusted after an application exists (with appropriate care), they don’t carry the same pre-creation constraint. Therefore, the time dimension is the one that can only be edited before the application has been created.
