Which statement is true about the default time dimension when none is specified?

• A. The M12_3333_W52_445 Time Dimension Definition will be used
• B. The default Standard Time Dimension Definition will be used
• C. A Custom Time Dimension Definition will be used
• D. Time dimension must always be specified

Answer: (B)

In OneStream, time is organized through a time dimension, and if you don’t specify one, the system automatically uses the built-in default called the Standard Time Dimension Definition. This default provides the common year/quarter/month structure that the platform uses across forms, cubes, and data loads, ensuring consistency without extra setup. A custom or named time dimension would only come into play if you explicitly choose or create it, not by default. Saying a time dimension must always be specified isn’t accurate because OneStream has this default, so you don’t have to specify one every time.
