2 MIN READ Hello OneStream Community! We have some updates to share as we continue to improve the IdeaStream portal: IdeaStream Cleanup As indicated in a previous post, we have completed our first wave of Idea cleanup on the IdeaStream Community page! In this wave, aged ideas posted before 2025 with fewer than 5 votes have been removed from the Community. This periodic review and subsequent rationalization will ensure our full idea set remains current and prioritizes engagement with your ideas. We will continue to keep you updated on periodic evaluation and closure of Ideas on IdeaStream. IdeaStream Groups Additionally, we’ve added two new groups to represent our ongoing innovation at OneStream! You will now see Genesis and Connectors as additional groups through which you can share relevant ideas and suggestions. Please select Genesis as a group with relevant tags to share your ideas, suggestions, or enhancement requests related to objects and additional functionality in Genesis. Similarly, please use Connectors to share observations on existing data connector functionality to data sources or targets, or suggestions on other source or target systems to consider for future products. Idea Tagging Finally, we have updated the tags that are available in each of the Idea groups representing Product areas on IdeaStream. These will continue to evolve as we create new innovations, offerings, and focus areas across the platform. There will be additional refinement of the groups and tags on IdeaStream based on your feedback, which we will describe in a future post. We are currently evaluating the entire Idea submission workflow and continue to make the portal easier to use, search, and collaborate with your peers. What’s Next in IdeaStream We are preparing for even more enhancement of the IdeaStream experience going forward. Next areas of focus are the actual Idea intake process, and whether it would be easier to have a single area for new idea creation vs. the current setup by Product domain area. Also, we are continuing to enhance the main page design so that search, browsing, and reporting continue to become easier. This evolution is ongoing and we welcome your continued engagement along the way! As always, please keep your ideas coming via the portal and reach out to productgrowth@onestream.com with any questions or suggestions on IdeaStream.Community Highlights: September 2025
