What are two main ways to set a Cube Point of View (POV)?

Setting a Cube Point of View (POV) is essential for analyzing data in OneStream, and the primary method to accomplish this is by selecting dimension members directly within the Cube POV section of the POV Pane. This interface allows users to actively choose specific members of each dimension to define the context for the analysis they are conducting. By selecting members, users can tailor their view to focus on particular aspects like time periods, entities, or market segments, enhancing data interpretation and reporting.

When using this method, users can see real-time changes in data as they adjust their selections within the POV Pane, enabling an interactive and user-friendly experience. The ability to customize the POV in this manner is crucial as it directly impacts the data being viewed and analyzed, offering flexibility in reporting.

The other choices, while they may provide relevant functionality within OneStream, do not serve as primary methods for setting a Cube POV. Using a saved Cube POV file from File Explorer could allow users to load previously defined POVs, but it lacks the granularity and immediacy of selecting dimension members directly. Accessing the Cube from the dashboard could facilitate navigation but does not inherently set the POV. Similarly, applying filters from reports might modify the displayed data but does not establish the foundational Cube
