BrowserUX Early Access Programs Guide 1

BrowserUX Overview
BrowserUX Overview
Welcome to BrowserUX, OneStream’s latest web-based offering. BrowserUX works alongside
the existing OneStream Windows Application to give users more options to access their data
across a wide range of devices. In its initial phases, BrowserUX delivers a streamlined, modern
experience that strives to provide comprehensive coverage of OnePlace features. With a strong
foundation in updated technologies, BrowserUX will introduce a suite of innovative designs and
improved solutions in future releases.
While we are representing much of the existing end user functionality, we are currently not
supporting the use of MarketPlace solutions within BrowserUX. We will review these solutions on
a case-by-case basis and report supported solutions in this documentation in future releases.
Additionally, you will notice the System and Application Tabs are not available in BrowserUX.
The following sections highlight benefits, explore differences, and provide current limitations to
help customers and partners evaluate BrowserUX for their business needs.

Early Access Programs Description
Early Access Programs

Description
Early Access Programs enable OneStream to validate new platform features and solutions with
interested customers, gain feedback, and continuously improve the product.
The BrowserUX initiative has completed several months of customer feedback through a "Hosted
Private Preview" and now is enabling BrowserUX in customer's cloud and self-hosted
environments. Eligible customers for these programs must exhibit the following:
l A prescribed browser use case that OneStream Product & Engineering feels can be
successful with the targeted platform version.
l The use case must have a targeted audience, intended devices, and defined success
criteria.
l The use case must have go-to-production intent; meaning that if the use case is deemed
successful in a Private Preview experience, the customer will commit to transitioning the
use case to production.
l Customers must be willing to upgrade platform releases to receive new or updated

functionality.
l Customers must have an early adopter spirit.
Interested customers can learn more about the BrowserUX initiative by engaging their Customer
Success Manager who will arrange a meeting with the OneStream product team.
Private Preview Program

OneStream Private Previews are intended to extend pre-General Availability platform features or
solutions to customers for non-production validation and feedback. Private Previews may be
OneStream hosted, or installed to customer self-hosted or cloud environments. They are
managed by the Product and Engineering team and there is no commitment to issue resolution
nor support through OneStream's normal support ticketing process.
All OneStream BrowserUX initiative customer engagements commence with a Private Preview
experience. The agreed upon use case is validated in a non-production instance with a targeted
audience and defined success criteria.

Early Access Programs Description
Limited Availability Program

OneStream Limited Availability programs are for early adopting customers to operate new
functionality in their Production instance, under OneStream's full Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Features and solutions in Limited Availability are supported by the normal Support ticketing
process.
Features or Solutions in this program are deemed "Limited" because either the intended
functionality is not yet complete, or OneStream is throttling the adopting customers to ensure
successful learning and support across the OneStream and Partner communities.
Successful BrowserUX Private Preview experiences are eligible for transition to Production under
the Limited Availability program. OneStream is looking to establish BrowserUX success in the
market through Limited Availability before considering a General Availability launch.
The release of 8.1 BrowserUX entered into Limited Availability. For 8.2, BrowserUX is remaining
in Limited Availability and still seeking customers and partners to participate in the program.
Customers upgrading to v8+ releases are provided the option to have BrowserUX enabled in their
Non-Production and Production instances.
General Availability Launch

The culmination of our efforts is the General Availability launch. At this point, the product is made
available to our entire customer base. General Availability marks the official release, showcasing
the enhanced capabilities of BrowserUX. The team continues supporting and enhancing the
product after BrowserUX is made generally available.

What's New in BrowserUX 8.2?

BrowserUX 8.2.0 introduces a variety of new features across the platform, which compliment
earlier delivered functionality to enable a wider range of end users needs.

l Apple Safari

Setup and Configuration
Setup and Configuration

The setup and configuration of OneStream BrowserUX may vary based on how your
environments are hosted. Follow the instructions below that apply to your environment setup.
The BrowserUX URL structure uses a company domain. For example,

https://browserux.yourcompany.com/. This URL can run on Chrome, Edge, and Safari browsers.
NOTE: This URL is different from the ClickOnce URL, which allows users to run an
instance of the OneStream Windows Client remotely from an application server.
ClickOnce URLs can only run in an Edge browser.
Authentication
For OneStream hosted environments, OneStream IdentityServer (OIS) technology enables
BrowserUX users to authenticate through a browser and enables administrators to set up
BrowserUX environments to use native IDs or an identity provider (IdP). For more information on
authentication using OIS, see the Identity and Access Management Guide.
For self-hosted environments, users can authenticate into BrowserUX using their existing
authentication method. Additional instructions for self-hosted authentication can be found in the
Installation Guide and BrowserUX Upgrade Guide.

Functional Capabilities of BrowserUX
Functional Capabilities of
BrowserUX
Learn how to navigate OneStream BrowserUX. This section explores general features and
highlights notable differences between BrowserUX and Windows Application.
General User Experience

Log in to BrowserUX
BrowserUX is accessed through a web browser instead of using a Windows shortcut or ClickOnce
to open a local instance of OneStream. You can use bookmarked URLs to navigate to
BrowserUX. Once successfully authenticated, you can select an application from the drop-down
menu and click the LOG IN button to access OneStream.
BrowserUX is accessed through a custom URL. For example,

https://browserux.yourcompany.com/. To start the authentication process, input a Username and
select Next. Once authenticated, BrowserUX will display a OneStream Home Page or, if multiple
Applications are available, an Application Selector.

Log out of BrowserUX

1. In the User Menu, select Log Out, or
2. On the Application Selection page, click the LOG OUT button, or
Logging off of BrowserUX will not log off other open OneStream instances, such as the Windows
Client or Excel Add-In. If using single sign-on, the user will not be logged out of your single-sign on
session.
Change Applications
To change applications, select Change Applications from the User Menu. The Application
Selector will be displayed with available applications.

Header
BrowserUX has a header and a OnePlace panel that persist throughout the user experience.
Similar to the Windows Application, the header has a Home button embedded in the OneStream
logo and displays the Application Name. Otherheader functionalityhas been moved to two menus
in the top right corner of the screen.
l
Gear Icon – Application Name, Global POV, Version Number, Help Documentation,
Task Activity, File Explorer
l
User Icon – User’s Name, Change Application, Set/Clear Home Page, Log Out
The OnePlace Panel can be fully collapsed, opened to display Navigation controls, or expanded
as an overlay when working with any of the menu areas.
NOTE: The OnePlace panel may be fully hidden for certain users using security
settings.
OnePlace Panel
Hide OnePlace Panel
The OnePlacePane security role can be used to hide the Navigation panel in BrowserUX. This
configuration has been added under Security Roles to enable or disable end user access to the
OnePlace navigation panel.

Navigate OnePlace Panel Sections

In the expanded OnePlace panel, there is a drop-down menu at the top of each area to navigate
between them.

File Explorer
File Explorer is used to manage all OneStream files and saved POVs. All file actions are available
in the toolbar, including create, edit, delete, upload, download, and apply POV.
Grids
While the BrowserUX grids offer the same functionality as the Windows Client, some differences
were added to improve the user experience. Many of the grids have virtual scrolling instead of
paging to handle large datasets. In addition to the Sorting, Filtering, and Column controls found in
the Windows Client, BrowserUX has added a column Lock feature, which allows users to lock in
place any column and the columns to its left, while being able to scroll the remaining columns
horizontally. In the header, BrowserUX has added an AutoFit button, which will automatically fit all
the column widths. Many of the grids will also have a context menu button in the left corner
of the grid header with additional functionality.

Anchored Dialogs
Many of the dialog boxes in BrowserUX display in a slide-out panel anchored to the right side of
the page instead of the floating dialogs used in the Windows Client. This paradigm offers
improved visibility and provides consistency for users accessing BrowserUX from various
devices. Slide-out panels can be expanded or constricted to suit user preference by dragging the
left edge horizontally across the page.

This anchored dialog box has been extended to dashboards that appear in dialog boxes. There is
a larger default width compared to the Windows Client, but the width can be altered with the dialog
box display format configurations. Since these dialog boxes are always the full height of the
screen, the height configuration for dashboards in dialog boxes is ignored in BrowserUX.
Cancel Long-Running Tasks

The ability to cancel long-running tasks in OneStream provides users and administrators with an
enhanced level of control over a variety of OneStream processes, such as loading and exporting
large cube views, uploading files, running data management jobs, and more. A new dialog has
been implemented to support this functionality and a button has been added to the Task Activity
grid to enable users to open the Task Progress dialog and cancel tasks. Filters have also been
added to the Task Activity panel to limit data to running tasks and to allow administrators to see
task data for all users.


Workflow
Workflow
Workflow in BrowserUX delivers the same functionality and customizations offered in the
Windows Application with a few notable exceptions mentioned below. Some tactical user
experience improvements have been made, while primarily focusing on delivering the
functionality of the workflow steps.
Navigation
Similar to the Windows Application, Workflows are accessed through the OnePlace panel. Users
are able to modify the Workflow POV by selecting the edit icon next to each dimension and
navigate between Workflow Units under Time Periods. It is important to note a few differences
between BrowserUX and the Windows Application:
l The Workflow POV Edit menu is displayed as an overlay menu, instead of a pop-up dialog.
Users are able to update Workflow, Scenario, and Year using the available tabs. A Save
button at the top of the section finalizes any changes.

Workflow

Workflow
l A new dropdown in the Workflow page title bar allows users to quickly toggle between
Workflow Steps in a Time Period.
l The new Focus View function allows users to view only the selected time period. In the
example below, a user chose to view only June to simplify navigation. To return to the full
list, simply disable the Focus View toggle.
Status Icons have been updated, and in some cases, combined to make a more intuitive user
experience.

Navigating Workflow Step Gaps

Helpful tips have been added to BrowserUX to identify unsupported workflow steps for both
dashboard designers and end users. In BrowserUX, Coming Soon icons indicate a workflow step
is not currently supported.

Workflow
Even if all steps are supported in each workflow, thorough testing is still recommended to ensure
processes are working as expected before production use.

Cube Views
Cube Views
BrowserUX cube views are flexible reporting artifacts that enable cube data to be presented and
customized in numerous ways using various configurations and formatting properties, member
formulas, and calculations.
Nearly all cube view features provided in the Windows Client are available to users in BrowserUX.
For cube views that utilize features or functionality that has not been delivered, or in the case that
variations arise due to technical differences inherent in web applications, there may be
configuration changes or other workarounds that can be leveraged until subsequent releases
close the functional gaps.

The General Visibility setting in Cube View profiles will be applicable for cube views in BrowserUX
and the Windows Client (OnePlace, Workflow, and Dashboards). The Client/Device Visibility
setting in Dashboard profiles will also affect access to embedded cube views or data explorer
components in Dashboards. See Dashboards.
Cube View Drill Down

The Drill Down interface has been moved from a page tab into a slide-out panel in BrowserUX.
You can drill down into cube data from a cell intersection by right-clicking the cell and selecting
Drill Down from the cube view context menu. The cube view drill down interface opens in a slide-
out panel, which can be resized horizontally.
Currently, only the Open in Panel option is supported. The Open in New Tab option will be
considered in a future release.

Cube Views
A context menu was also added to the toolbar on the Drill Down page to consolidate some
functionality in a way that better supports different screen sizes and devices.
A hidden context menu for drill down has been implemented to consolidate key drill down
functions, such as Load Results for Imported Cell and Audit History for Forms or Adjustment
Cells.

Cube Views
User Experience Differentiators

In BrowserUX, row and column virtualization has been implemented to efficiently retrieve and
render large datasets for cube views. Row and column virtualization retrieves data to display as
the user scrolls vertically or horizontally through cube view pages, improving performance of
client-side data rendering and enabling a more seamless data review process. Row virtualization
occurs in defined Cube View page boundaries.
Notable Functional Gaps

l Allocation
l Autofit
NOTE: BrowserUX uses column widths specified at design time or a default

width of 160 pixels when no specific width is defined for a column, or when an
asterisk or "Auto" is used to set the width. OneStream will continue to pursue
enhancements that better support automatic column width definitions.

Dashboards
Dashboards
BrowserUX dashboards are expanding functional coverage with the goal of offering equivalent
use of layouts and components available in the Windows Client. Currently, the most commonly
used features are available in BrowserUX. For dashboards that contain elements that have not
been delivered or potential gaps that can arise out of unique design techniques, there are typically
substitutions, configuration changes, or workarounds that can be implemented until subsequent
releases close the functional gap.
While BrowserUX moves toward comprehensive end user dashboard functionality and matching
rendering between the Windows Client and BrowserUX, the underlying technologies between the
clients will likely prevent perfect replication of dashboards in both clients. Additionally, since the
user interface styling is different between the clients, dashboards designed for one client may look
out of place when rendered in another.
If a preexisting dashboard contains only supported layouts and components, it can be enabled for
BrowserUX use with a single configuration. However, for an optimized user experience in
BrowserUX or on mobile devices, designers may consider modifying the dashboard or creating
new client/device specific experiences.
Enabling Dashboard Access

To ensure dashboards are only rendered within the client (Windows Application or BrowserUX) or
device (PC, tablet, or phone), a new configuration has been added to the Dashboard Profile called
Client/Device Visibility.

Dashboards
The Client/Device Visibility configuration enables dashboard designers to control which

dashboard profiles, and the dashboards they contain, can be accessed and viewed on one or
more clients and devices. Enabling this configuration will display the dashboard in the OnePlace
Dashboard list of the respective client/device selection.
Preexisting and newly created dashboards will be set to the Windows Client only by default.
Dashboards are not initially visible in BrowserUX.

Navigating Dashboard Gaps

Helpful tips have been added to both the Windows Client and BrowserUX to assist dashboard
designers and end users in identifying dashboard layouts and components that are not yet
supported in BrowserUX.
In the Windows Client, labels for Windows App Only have been added to both the Dashboard
Properties Layout Type and Dashboard Component selection lists.

Dashboards
In BrowserUX, a placeholder image indicates if the dashboard layout or component is not

currently supported. A hover tooltip specifies the layout or component that is not rendering.

Dashboards

Dashboards
Even if all dashboard layouts and components are supported, we still recommend conducting a
full regression test of any dashboard that is being transferred from the Windows Client to
BrowserUX to ensure functional parity before production use.
BrowserUX Dashboard Design Process

When building a dashboard for BrowserUX use, designers should open both their Windows and
BrowserUX clients simultaneously. Using the Windows Client, designers can update and save
dashboard configurations. To view changes reflected in BrowserUX, simply refresh the browser.
When building a dashboard for use on a tablet or phone, designers can follow the same process,
using either a physical device or mobile device emulator in a browser. Designers should make
sure they log into their BrowserUX environment with the emulator properly sized to ensure
BrowserUX reacts to the device it is emulating.
As with the Windows Client, using dashboard design best practices can significantly improve the
performance of a dashboard. BrowserUX may have performance sensitivities that differ from the
Windows Client.
Multi-client/Device Dashboard Design Approaches

When designing a dashboard that will be used across multiple clients or devices, dashboard
designers can use three different approaches to find the right balance of upfront effort, end-user
optimization, and maintenance effort that best suits their needs.
Approach 1: Unified Multi-client/Device Dashboards

This approach uses a single non-adaptive dashboard. The designer will most likely have to make
compromises to make it usable for each client/device type. These compromises typically result in
a simplified dashboard with efficient maintenance. This type of dashboard needs to have the
proper combination Client/Device Visibility configurations to be accessible from the OnePlace
Dashboard across clients and devices. It can be more difficult for multi-device use due to varying
space for dashboard components, but it is an effective way to access dashboards in
BrowserUX initially. Designers can rely on this approach to update existing Windows Client
dashboards for use in BrowserUX. For more complex scenarios, designers should consider
building client/device specific dashboards or adaptive dashboards.

Dashboards
Approach 2: Client/Device Specific Dashboards

This approach uses multiple non-adaptive dashboards. Designers create separate dashboards
that render equivalent information and functionalities but have different designs that are optimized
for specific client and device types. These dashboards need to be added to separate dashboard
profiles. Each of the dashboard profiles have different Client/Device Visibility configurations,
which limits their visibility in the OnePlace Dashboard list to only the appropriate client or device
they were designed for. This approach offers an optimized user experience and low design
complexity, but it has a high maintenance effort.
Approach 3: Client/Device Adaptive Dashboards

This approach uses a single adaptive dashboard. Designers need an initial understanding of how
their dashboard should adapt to each client or device type intended for use. The designer creates
Embedded Dashboards with configurations that link to client/device specific dashboards. The
Embedded Dashboards can be placed at any level within nested dashboards. Allowing designers
to easily customize components shared across multiple devices or create unique experiences per
device type. This approach offers a highly optimized user experience and lower maintenance
effort, but it has high design complexity.
Current dashboards that have been designed previously for the OneStream Windows Client may
need to be redesigned for an optimized user experience in BrowserUX or alternative device types.

Documents
Documents
The Documents area in BrowserUX has a similar navigation pattern with the Windows Client.
However, the Browser Client downloads files instead of opening them in their native application. A
context menu has been added to the top of the Documents area, which contains a download
button for selected documents. This Context Menu also contains an Open File Explorer button
and View File Details button. The File Details can also be viewed by double clicking onto the file
itself. When a folder is selected the Context Menu only has the Open File Explorer button and the
View Folder Details button.
POV can be applied through the File Explorer only.
Additionally, by double-clicking the file, folder or selecting View File Details from the context
menu, you can see the File Details or Folder Details.

Documents

POV
POV
In BrowserUX, POV is in the OnePlace panel. To view and modify the current Cube POV, select
the POV menu from the OnePlace panel. Similar to Workflow POV, the Cube POV Edit menu is
displayed as an overlay menu, instead of a pop-up dialog. It's also important to note that
information from the Windows Application POV menu is displayed in a few different areas in
BrowserUX:
l Global POV: Select the gear icon in the header to view current Global POV settings.
l Workflow POV: Select Workflow in the OnePlace panel to view and modify the current
Workflow POV.
Additional Features
