What do dimension hierarchies in OneStream represent?

Dimension hierarchies in OneStream represent relationships between different dimensional members. These hierarchies allow for the organization of data in a way that reflects the logical structure of the business. Each dimension can have various members, some of which may serve as parent elements, while others act as child elements, creating a parent-child relationship. This hierarchical structure not only facilitates data aggregation and reporting but also enhances data analysis by allowing users to drill down or roll up information based on the defined relationships.

By illustrating how dimensions interconnect, hierarchies provide clarity and context for financial data, which is critical in financial planning and analysis. This structured approach is essential for users to navigate data effectively within OneStream, ensuring that insights are based on an accurate representation of the organization's data landscape.
