Where do you typically add Member Expansions in the system?

Member Expansions in OneStream are typically added at the end of the Member Filter Builder. This placement makes sense because Member Expansions are utilized to dynamically modify or extend member data based on certain criteria established in the filter. By positioning them at the end of the Member Filter Builder, it ensures that they can effectively apply after the necessary filters have been processed, allowing for a refined view of the data that meets specific parameters.

In this context, Member Expansions facilitate the inclusion of additional members in reports or calculations that might not have been covered initially by the original member definitions but are relevant to the filtered data set. This capability is integral in financial reporting, where entities may need to consider multiple dimensions or variations of data.

Adding Member Expansions at other points in the configuration process, such as at the beginning of the setup process or within the main Cube settings menu, would not provide the same level of specificity or contextual relevance that they gain when placed at the end of the Member Filter Builder. Similarly, advanced configuration settings are generally reserved for more complex aspects of system setup that do not pertain directly to the immediate filtering and expansion of members.
