Which statement determines the use of Scenario Types?

• A. The design of dashboards
• B. A user's security settings
• C. The availability of Cube Views
• D. The need for extensibility

Answer: (D)

Scenario Types are a mechanism to classify and manage data across different planning contexts in OneStream. They allow you to have multiple independent data versions (like Actuals, Budget, Forecast, What-If) without changing the underlying structure. The choice to use Scenario Types is driven by the need for extensibility—when you anticipate adding additional, custom scenarios beyond the standard ones, Scenario Types let you extend the model in a scalable way. If you don’t need new or custom scenarios, the existing setup suffices. The other aspects—design of dashboards, security settings, or the availability of Cube Views—affect how data is presented or who can access it, but they don’t determine whether Scenario Types are used.
