Which dimension type is assigned to workflow profiles?

The dimension type assigned to workflow profiles is the entity dimension. This dimension is crucial because it represents the various organizational structures within a company, such as departments, divisions, or subsidiaries. In the context of workflow profiles, which define the processes and steps that users must follow based on their roles, the entity dimension helps to tailor these workflows according to the specific requirements and scenarios relevant to different parts of the organization.

By using the entity dimension, OneStream can maintain clarity and relevance in workflows. This ensures that personalized access, specific tasks, and processes are aligned with the correct business unit. Thus, each entity can have its defined workflow profile, optimizing efficiency and adherence to organizational policies.

In contrast, while account, department, and user dimensions serve important roles within the OneStream framework, they do not specifically relate to the structuring and customization of workflow profiles in the same way that the entity dimension does. Each of these dimensions has a distinct purpose, such as defining account structures, detailing departmental hierarchies, or managing user permissions, but none correlate directly with the configuration of workflows as effectively as the entity dimension does.
