Introducing the New Technical Guides Resource
The OneStream Community team is excited to announce the launch of a brand‑new Technical Guides space within the Resources section of the Community—your new destination for expert-driven, practical, and in‑depth technical content. Over the years, our Community has produced a wide range of high‑quality documentation, tutorials, and best‑practice guides. Until now, these materials were scattered across multiple areas. The new Technical Guides space brings all this high‑value content together in one centralized, easy‑to‑navigate location. A Curated Collection of Expert Knowledge Starting today, the new Technical Guides space is live with an initial collection of 66 articles written by OneStream specialists, architects, and power users. These guides cover a broad array of topics—including: Rules & Calculations – Best practices, advanced logic, and real‑world examples Dashboards – Design guidance, component‑level walkthroughs, and visualization strategies Metadata – Structuring, optimizing, and governing metadata for scalability Design & Architecture – Frameworks, patterns, and considerations for building robust applications And much more – Covering the core areas customers and partners ask about most Whether you're troubleshooting a complex build, exploring new features, or looking for proven approaches from experts, this space is designed to save you time and elevate your work. Featuring a New Article: The Dynamic Grid Dashboard Component To celebrate the launch, we’re introducing a brand‑new guide authored by Eric Hanson, titled The Dynamic Grid Dashboard Component. This article provides a detailed look at one of the most flexible and powerful dashboard components available—perfect for users who want dynamic, data‑driven visualizations with minimal overhead. Why This Matters The Technical Guides space is more than just a repository—it’s a growing, evolving resource that will continue to expand as the platform and Community grow. It’s built to help developers, administrators, architects, and partners discover: Proven solutions to common challenges Deep dives that go beyond product documentation Inspiration for improving existing applications Insights directly from experts who build and support OneStream every day Stay Connected as New Guides Arrive We encourage all Community members to explore the new Technical Guides space, browse the available materials, and subscribe to the space to stay informed as new content is published.All New Certification Resource
The OneStream Community just got a new resource—and if you’re on the path to certification, this will help you on your journey. We’re excited to unveil the brand‑new Certification area, a dedicated space designed to support your certification path. Whether you’re preparing for your first exam or looking to deepen your expertise, this new hub brings essential resources directly into the Community experience. A New Home for Certification Webinars To kick things off, the Certification area now features our growing library of Certification Webinars. These sessions were previously available only through Navigator and required Passport access. Now, they’re right here in the Community—easier to find, easier to access, and easier to incorporate into your study plan. Certification has always been a powerful way to validate your OneStream skills, stand out professionally, and stay aligned with best practices. By bringing these resources into the Community, we’re making it simpler than ever to learn, prepare, and connect with others on the same journey. The Certification area is launching with webinars today, but there’s much more on the horizon. Throughout the year, we’ll be expanding this space with additional materials and new ways to support your learning. Stay tuned—2026 is shaping up to be a big year for certification in the OneStream Community.2025: A Year in Review

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.
