View our Community Code of Conduct What are the Community Terms of Service? View our Community Terms of Service What are Likes? By definition, likes are a positive vote on a piece of content. On the Community, that definition applies as well. When you find a post helpful or interesting, you show your appreciation by giving likes. To give a like, you click the thumbs up icon below a post. Try it out! Please note: you must be signed in to give likes. What is an accepted solution? An Accepted Solutions is a way for you to choose the reply that best answers a question that you've posted and shows your appreciation! When you accept a solution, both the question and the solution get special icons and links that take you directly from the question to the answer. An Accepted Solutions icon also appears on boards and in search results so you can see which messages have solutions. You can mark a solution as accepted only for questions that you've posted (you started the thread). Community moderators can also mark one of the replies to a message as an accepted solution What are the forums? The OneStream Forum is a place for our members to ask questions, start discussions and connect with peers and OneStream. By posting in this area you’re helping others that might have similar questions and needs. Any solution from this forum you attempt to implement should be done in a test environment and not in your production environment. You should test any item for performance to ensure it produces the correct solution. These are crowdsourced solutions and may need to account for unique nuances of individual applications. Use them at your own risk. OneStream strives to create a helpful, friendly and collaborative Community for you to participate in. Please take note of the following points: If you are posting a troubleshooting question or seeking advice, try to be as detailed as possible. Do not share any specific account details as this area is visible to all our members! If your needs require sharing company specific details that shouldn’t be public, please open a support ticket in Service Now If your needs are complex and require more than 10-15 minutes of time to answer, please create a support ticket or reach out to your consultant If you posted something by accident, would like something removed, or run across anything you believe shouldn’t be in the Forum, please go into the post options and mark it with “report inappropriate content” stating a reason What is the difference between Blogs, Technical Documents and Forums in the Community? In order to help clarify questions as to what these three items are in the community. We have posted some basic definitions to help everyone understand the clarity between these items. Forums: These are open communication between all parties. The solutions expressed here might not be the absolute correct solution. Forums area place where customers, partners and others can engage in debate, seek answers, help others and come to a consensus. Please bear in mind not everything in forums can be 100% vetted. While it is monitored, it’s for the community to decide what is correct. Forums are essentially crowdsourcing a solution. Technical Documents: These are facts. These are proven, vetted items that are supplied by approved resources. These include the following items. Foundational Design Guides, Office Hours Q&A, and Code Samples. Blogs: A Blog is opinion based or more serialized content that is more free form and discussion based. Blogs tend to have more personality and are not as stringent as a knowledge base item.

Check if the feature exists Search our documentation, knowledge articles, and discussion forums to find if the functionality already exists. Check for a similar idea submission Before posting your idea, search IdeaStream. If a similar idea exists, add your vote to show your support. Adding a comment describing how it will help your company and/or the impact it has on users without it will help tell a story of it its importance. If you find duplicate ideas, please let us know by adding a comment and tagging “@TBD” and include the link to the duplicate idea. One request per idea submission It becomes hard to keep track and update an idea when it contains more than one request. Please submit an idea for each request separately. Use simple language; preferably English OneStream’s customer and partner base is globally diverse, and we are all sharing a single community. For many users, English is a second language, and they may rely on browser translation services to better understand the text. By writing clearly and concisely, it will help improve machine translation. We also recommend submitting your idea in English to reach a broader audience and receive more support. As our community grows, we’ll evaluate a better experience for a multi-language community. Be descriptive of the problem you need solving, and use visuals and images An idea submission consists of three parts: Title, Description, Label Title When community members read IdeaStream, it is the idea title that will capture their attention and interest, and increase the chance it will receive votes. Your title should be concise but descriptive enough for other users to understand the general picture. Example: “Extract PDF reports via an API” Description We naturally gravitate to immediately describe the functionality of a solution we are seeking. But to build empathy and spark a discussion with the community, it is important to describe the situation you are in and the motivation behind the request. When others, including OneStream product managers, understand what you are trying to accomplish, they can provide ways they solved a similar problem or build upon your idea with alternate scenarios. When describing your idea, consider the following elements: Situation: Describe where in the product your idea fits and when your pain point occurs. This could include Steps to Reproduce, screenshots, even videos. Purpose and expected outcome: Describe the intended goal and objective of your idea. Rather than describing the solution, focus on what you are trying to accomplish and why it is needed for your organization. Proposed solution: Describe your proposed solution, if any. This could include simple drawings or images. Workaround method: Describe how you are accomplishing this today, or effort it takes without this feature. Here is a fictional example: "I want to extract a PDF report via an API instead of manually generating it in the Report Viewer via the “Show Report” action. We have to submit many PDF reports to external parties and agencies at specific times and frequencies. An API will enable me to automate this process with the flexibility I need. Without this capability, our accountants from 37 different locations have to manually generate, save, and email these reports every month. And when one forgets to do it on time, it slows down the external party’s work." Label: A label is required when submitting an idea as it associates an idea with a Onestream solution. This helps community members and our product managers find ideas within the solution of their interest or responsibility. If you’re not confident about which label to choose, make your best guess Do not include private or sensitive information IdeaStream submissions are visible to all community members, which includes OneStream employees, customers, and partners. Avoid posting sensitive information and consider blocking out sensitive data within screenshots.IdeaStream Frequently Asked Questions
What is IdeaStream? IdeaStream is a collaborative feedback channel where OneStream customers and partners can submit, vote, and discuss ideas on how to improve the OneStream platform and solutions. IdeaStream lets you connect with OneStream product managers while collaborating with other community members on product ideas and suggestions. IdeaStream was created to help prioritize our product roadmap and align resources to streamline the development of popular user requests. IdeaStream will enable us to understand what the user community needs, and how to create more value within our products. With your candid feedback, our team can confidentially prioritize what to build next, while providing enhanced visibility into the build process. Who can participate in IdeaStream? All OneCommunity logged-in users can view, vote, post, and comment on ideas. How do I vote for an idea? To vote for an idea, click the "thumbs-up" button. To remove your vote, click on the thumbs-up button again. You may vote on as many ideas as you like. We also encourage users to comment on ideas to offer solutions or workarounds, expand on idea requirements, or share the impact the idea will have on their organization. How do I post an idea? Before submitting an idea, search to see if the idea already exists. If there is an existing idea, upvote that idea. Our community's search capability searches the entire community for relevant ideas or forum discussions about that topic. If there isn't an existing idea, submit an idea on theAll Ideasboard by clicking theSuggest an ideabutton. Please read the Idea Submission Guidelines on details of what to include in your submission. How can I promote an idea to other members so it gets more support? As you participate in the community and notice discussions that you think would benefit from ideas you are interested in, promote them in those discussions! Consider joining OneStream Community Groups, and reach out to your coworkers to build support and generate votes. What is the difference betweenTop IdeasandHot Ideas? Top ideas are based on the highest number of votes. Hot ideas are based on an algorithm that combines recency and popularity (such as views, comments, votes, unique participants). What evaluation criteria are used when reviewing and accepting ideas? While we would love to review and respond to all of your ideas, we prioritize top-voted ideas for review during quarterly review cycles. Our goal is to set a minimum vote threshold in the future once IdeaStream voting activity is established. Top ideas are reviewed and evaluated for desirability, viability, and feasibility. Sometimes, a great idea may have dependencies on other development work that needs to be completed first, and it may not be accepted until the dependency is cleared. In all cases, OneStream will always strive to communicate the rationale and next steps through Idea statuses and comment updates. Desirability- How many votes? How many customers voted? How many customers and industries will benefit? Viability- Is this globally relevant? Does it correspond with market trends? Does it align with OneStream's product vision and strategy? Feasibility- How large and complex is the development effort? Is it workable and scalable with the product’s architecture? Do we have resource availability? What happens to top ideas that do not get accepted for development? Ideas that do not get selected but are still considered valuable will be placed back into the voting pool for the next cycle’s consideration. If it is clear that an idea is not feasible or something we will not consider for the foreseeable future, it will be closed. Sometimes, a great idea may have dependencies on other development work that needs to be completed first. How many ideas will be accepted during quarterly reviews? The number of ideas will vary each quarter as some ideas take longer to develop than others. In case that a development team best equipped for developing the idea based on its subject matter may not have enough bandwidth in the upcoming release, so we may have to prioritize less ideas based on their availability. When can I expect an accepted idea to be delivered? During quarterly reviews, we typically accept ideas that can be delivered within one or two upcoming releases. When the idea is accepted, OneStream will also indicate the estimated availability date. If due to unforeseen circumstances the idea is not delivered when initially estimated, we will post an update in the idea.What's IdeaStream?
SHAPING FUTURE RELEASES IdeaStream is a collaborative channel where our customers and partners can submit and discuss ideas with our community and OneStream product managers. Your voting and discussions will help us prioritize your popular user request as part of our product planning process. For technical support or to report product bugs, please visit the ServiceNow portal. IDEA LIFECYCLE Submit your ideas for product improvements or new features through IdeaStream. This is your chance to promote and gather support for your idea, to bring it to the attention of OneStream Product Managers. We encourage you to engage with other community members by reviewing the ideas suggested by your peers. When you come across an idea you like, upvote it and leave a comment telling us how it will help you. While we would love to work on all of your ideas, we can’t do everything right away, and we need your help prioritizing ideas that matter most to you. IDEA STATUSES Open Ideas Open ideas can be voted and commented upon. New– The idea has just been posted and will be able to immediately collect votes. Product Management will review all new ideas and move them either to the Gathering Interest or Needs More Info status.

Someone through ONECommunity will reach out to the poster of the idea to ensure they understand the full scope of the idea.

Under Review- The idea has received enough votes to be considered for the roadmap. Scheduled- The idea has been assigned for near-term future release. Future Consideration- The idea is a high priority and is being scheduled for a future release. Closed Ideas Closed ideas are closed for voting. Some closed ideas may remain open for comments and may be reopened at OneStream’s discretion. Delivered- The idea has been delivered and made available in the product. Duplicate- The idea has already been submitted by another user. Review OneStream comment for the link to the existing idea where it should be upvoted. Existing Feature- The idea is an existing feature. Review OneStream comment with information on the feature. This may include a workaround or 3rd party solution. Bug- The idea is an existing feature behaving in unintended ways. It has been submitted to the development bug backlog that is managed through ServiceNow.
