How can you modify an existing account in OneStream?

Modifying an existing account in OneStream is effectively achieved by accessing the account settings and updating the desired fields. This option reflects the capability within the OneStream platform to directly edit account details such as account names, types, and attributes without needing extensive processes. This method is efficient and allows for immediate changes, ensuring that all settings align with current business needs and reporting requirements.

The process of directly accessing and updating fields maintains data integrity and avoids potential complications that may arise from deleting and recreating accounts, which can lead to loss of historical data or misalignment within the financial structure. It also streamlines the modification process, allowing finance teams to quickly adapt to changes without significant downtime or risk of error during data import/export operations.
