What is the main building block of reports within OneStream?

The main building block of reports within OneStream is Cube Views. Cube Views are designed specifically for reporting and analysis, allowing users to access and present multidimensional data stored in the OneStream application. By leveraging the dimensionality and calculations inherent in the data cubes, Cube Views facilitate efficient reporting by enabling users to display the data in a way that aligns with various analytical needs. They provide the means to configure how data is aggregated and presented, making it easier to create visuals and outputs based on complex datasets.

In contrast, Data Grids are more focused on data entry and adjustments, allowing users to manipulate data rather than primarily report on it. Forms are utilized for data collection and input, serving another necessary function within the system but lacking the contextual emphasis on reporting. Spreadsheets can serve as a familiar interface for data management, but they do not inherently provide the powerful reporting capabilities that Cube Views deliver within OneStream. Thus, Cube Views represent the most direct and effective mechanism for facilitating report creation and data analysis.
