    Hi all

    There is an event handler to control front end actions. You can use it to prevent a force consolidate. You will find the details here.

    You just need to check the condition (i.e. that it is a force consolidate) and then cancel the action. If you like to inform the user, that force consolidate is disabled, you need to trigger an error and control the error message.

    But use it careful, you can stop the front-end from working correctly, because a bug prevents functions that trigger the event handler to fail.

Your Onestream service contact has access to the solution. They moved it internal, because it can create problem, if not done correctly. But together you should be able to set it up.

Hi Christian, 

What kinds of issues should we be looking out for if Front End Event Handler is not implemented correctly?  Also is this something we could find in the GolfStream app or the Market Place?  I have reached out to our OneStream Contact to get help accessing the information but any additional information would be appreciated.
