What will happen if a Time Dimension is not specified?

When a Time Dimension is not specified in OneStream, the system defaults to using the Standard Time Dimension. This means that OneStream has a built-in mechanism to ensure that all time-related data can still be processed and understood, even in the absence of an explicitly defined Time Dimension. Utilizing the default allows for continuity in reporting and analysis, as it ensures that the necessary time context is applied to the financial data being handled.

This approach also emphasizes the importance of the Time Dimension in financial reporting, as it provides the necessary temporal structure for data analysis. By relying on the default, users can still operate effectively without interrupting workflows or reporting capabilities when a custom or specific Time Dimension is not made available at that moment. Thus, the system essentially acts to maintain operational integrity and data consistency.
