In which area can a Consultant configure the setting that locks certification immediately after it has been approved?

The area where a Consultant can configure the setting that locks certification immediately after it has been approved is in Application Properties.

Application Properties in OneStream allow for global settings that affect how the application behaves and is used. One of the key functionalities within this area is the ability to manage certification settings, including the automation of workflows related to approval processes. When a certification process is approved, locking it automatically prevents further changes and ensures the integrity of the data. This is crucial for maintaining accurate reporting and compliance standards.

Other options like User Management, Workflow Settings, and Report Configuration do play important roles in the application, but they do not specifically address the ability to configure lock settings for certified data immediately after approval. User Management deals with access and permissions for users, Workflow Settings relate more to the stages and transitions of approval processes, and Report Configuration focuses on how reports are structured and presented, rather than on the certification locking mechanism itself. Therefore, the most appropriate and relevant area for this specific configuration is Application Properties.
